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.

Sometimes the best solution is to get the right equipment. If it would be a
viable solution, the DW engineers would have probably suggested it. Bought
my planer one day, the DC the next.

IIRC the DW735 has blower onboard to remove the chips from the cutter
head, you just have to catch them. Here is an accessory that does
that:

Though from the picture it should be pretty simple to make your own
from some 4" hose/clamps and a trash can lid.

The 735 has fan-forced chip ejection (built-in blower).

I used the biggest shop vac that Sears has to offer with the DW735, and
it seemed to work pretty well - but I made sure to empty the vac and
clean its filter before I start each time. But a small shop vac?
Forgetaboutit!

Last year a guy posted a story about hooking a hose the the DW735's dust
port and putting the other end into a big trash can. The hose got away
from him, and coated EVERYTHING in his shop with sawdust in just a few
seconds.

When I first got my DW735, I just aimed the dust port out the garage
door toward the street. It shot sawdust all the way out to the street,
40 ft away. Only did that once. It took me an hour to vacuum up all
that crap.

I just got back from Busy Bee Tools and Princess Auto. Busy Bee had the
accessory you mention for $C65, which didn't seem like a bad alternative at
all. They've got a couple of low end dust collectors I've been eyeballing
for awhile; maybe next Christmas something'll happen. Princess Auto is
clearing a $100 600CFM dust collector. (The cashier checked their records
and it looks like they're selling about one per day, with 12 left.) I hate
the idea of buying cheap stuff, but there's a severe limit to my budget, and
without doing anything I'll make a big(ger) mess in my basement shop.

At worst I'll make a cyclone lid like Morris Dovey did, and just not hook it
up to a shop vac at all. Or maybe add a box where two or three of the sides
are furnace filters. I don't know. I'm entering the design phase of my
next project so there's no panic just yet.

Or exhaust the cyclone outside the shop in a little building built for the
purpose out of scrap. The amount of chips and dust laying around the
building tell you if your cyclone is stopped up - the more chips the more
it is stopped up. Odd how that worked!

I've had a 735 for quite a while. It's now hooked up to a 3HP DC with a
cyclone emptying into a 55 gallon drum. That said, for most of it's life
it emptied into an old Sears shop vac with the burnt out motor removed
and filter left in place. The 2 1/2" hose hooked directly from 735 to
shop vac intake. It worked real well with the hose tied from the ceiling
to keep it out of lumber path. You knew it was full when chips began to
blow back onto the planer bed. The 735 really blows chips all by it self.
I think I'm still finding chips from that first board I put through
without any chip collector on it
