namluke Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi, Im moving into my first workshop on Monday and im looking to get a thicknesser. I would love one of them big cast iron ones but at the moment i cant afford. My budget is around £500, so i was looking at the below model. DeWalt Dw733 230V Portable Thicknesser 1800W Before a purchase can anyone recommend this model? Many Thanks Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Isn't the Dewalt 735 in your price range (sorry, I'm not fluent in pounds)? Seems like anybody that has one has mostly good things to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namluke Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Is that a better model? I cant seem to find it in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 The 735 is the better one, and there's the 734 which runs a close second. I'd try to find the 735 if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namluke Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I read that it only runs on a 120 volt motor, so its not out in the uk, shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I saw the 735 on sale at Lowes this morning for 549.. Good price for that machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Get the Dewalt that is available over there, you'll do fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 The 735 is not available in the UK and hasn't been for years. Unfortunately Dewalt only sell the 733 now over here in the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat60 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Had the 733 for many years. Never had any problems with it and even after I got my Delta 15in I still used it allot. I sold it this spring but would buy any of the Dewalt planer models again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
