Score one unused DW735 for me, 2nd hand, half price. Woohoo! (BTW, I
based my choice on what I read here. Thanks for the advice!)

Now the question: This thing throws chips out the back with impunity.
I don't have a dust collector, and I read in the manual that you
shouldn't hook up a shop vac to it. Do you think if I hosed up one of
those cyclone lids on a garbage can it would catch much? Could I also
add a filter bag downline and expect the planer blower to drive the
whole system?

Thanks.

You could use the shop vac through the cyclone lid garbage can thing. Just
be aware that you're going to fill the can pretty quickly.


I'm afraid he won't fill the can at all with that setup. A shop vac
just doesn't generate enough airflow to take the chips away as fast as
the planer can produce them.
