Hi Gang,
I read very few complaints about the Dewalt DW734 planer, but most of
them seemed to be quality control errors. A stripped bolt, dull blades etc.
Has anyone on the wreck had any experience with this planer? I should
get it in a week or two, what should I look for when I unpack it?

This is a fantastic resource for the newer wood workers!
Thanks in advance.

Andy,

I have that same planer, have been using it for almost three years now
and not one single problem, havent even had to have it tuned up yet.
I bet I have changed the blades four or five times and run well over
1000 bf of lumber through it. Has been a very good tool for the
price, though it hasnt taken me long to outgrow it. As soon as i get
the $$$ will be buying 20in Grizzly to match the rest of my shop.
Good luck, I think you'll be satisfied. As a recommendation....never
buy your blades from the retailers they'll cost you $50 a set. I
watch for em on Ebay, and usually score them for around $20 Good luck

Great tip! Thanks This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I think it'll
be quite a while before I go to a 20" WOW!

thanks again!

Andy
