Hi Group, I just flipped the blades in my 735 planner. These cannot
be sharpened can they? Here's the hint I was looking for a way to
route the chips to a garbage can (I'd been using a shopvac) and
didn't want to get involved with 4" dust fittings (pricey) so I
started looking at 2" ABS fittings. I used a 2" long 90* elbow
which almost slipped over the 2 1/2" outlet. I warmed it up with a
heat gun until it was soft and forced it over the outlet. It's
tight but won't blow or vibrate off but can be removed. Then I
added a short length of 2" ABS pipe, a 90* street elbow, a male
adapter thru the trash can lid and a female adapter to act as a nut
to hold it in place. Cost about $10. Jim

Do you really need vacuum? Mine's powerful enough the chips go thru
my large vac hose right into the garbage can. The can's fastened to
the planer carrier; moves around with it. it's also a DeWalt.

The blower is very powerful so that's why I eliminated the shopvac plus
I had enough noise without running the shopvac. Jim
