Is there anything I should know before I get going too far? *I've never

It's amazing what comes out of the planer. *This nasty looking piece of

Never teach your apprentice everything you know.

Either get the DeWalt in/outfeed tables or build your own.

In recent testing, that was the ONE shortcoming in an otherwise GREAT
planer.

Once PROPERLY supported, the 735 took Best of Breed.

So ... congratulations on a great purchase !!
