Benchtop planers are a long-term investment that allow you to buy rough stock and dimension it yourself. They also make creating custom materials easier, which, makes getting great results easier.
This planer's powerful 15 amp motor handles a wide range of tough hardwoods, and its three-knife cutterhead spins at 10,000 RPM to provide 96 cuts per inch.
Reversible, Disposable Knives for Convenience
The DEWALT DW734 uses razor sharp knives that are reversible and disposable. These knives last 30 percent longer than traditional disposable knives, helping you avoid costly and time-consuming resharpening.
For fast, easy, one-tool knife changes, a set of pins machined on the cutter-head goes through holes machined on the knife. This helps you quickly locate the fresh knife and refasten the knife clamp.
Effective Dust and Debris Management
The DW734 planer includes a dust hood that attaches to a shop vacuum or standing dust collector (sold separately) for efficient collection of chips and debris.
Large Capacity and Easy, Accurate Depth Adjustment
This planer's extra-long infeed and outfeed tables provide 33-1/2 inches of material support. A turret depth stop saves you time when setting the machine at commonly used depths.
In addition, the planer's material-removal gauge and extra-large thickness scale help ensure every pass is accurate. A four-column carriage lock drastically reduces the movement that causes material damage, or snipe, when planning near the end of a board.
This sturdy planer weighs 80 pounds. It offers a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch, a depth capacity of 6 inches, and a width capacity of 12-1/2 inches.
This DW734 12-1/2-Inch Thickness Planer with Three Knife Cutterhead comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Pros:
- It's actually not as loud as I expected, because he hooked it up to the vacuum for dust control, and there was very little dust.
- Instructions are super easy to follow, and setup was easy as well.
- The unit is solid. No loose parts and it doesn't spit out wood like the WEN reviews warned.
- He was playing around with it so much that I hardly saw him at all this afternoon (that could be a con, but let's count it as a pro for now because it's allowing me to catch up on reviews and other work).
Cons:
- It's heavy, so you won't be moving it around too much (this could also be a pro).
- Husband likes it so much, he wants to buy more wood and make more things (this could also be a pro, but right now it's going to cost some $$$ because lumber yards aren't free).
I'm happy I spent the extra $110 to get a DeWalt vs. the WEN. I'm a bargain girl, not a cheapskate. Big tools like this are an investment and I don't want to skimp out on quality or safety.

First, the exhaust attachment is mind dumbing, I don't know what shop vac attachment can attach to it but after a trip to Home Depot I decided tape would have to suffice. annoying.
Second, on the non-finishing speed, the exhaust will constantly get clogged. I'm talking on every other pass. annoying.
A secondary dust collector has to aid in the exhaust process otherwise it will clog on every run. I can only use the finishing speed setting otherwise, you guessed it, it clogs.
not sure why I spent all this money for all this aggravation. Do yourself a favor and go with a different brand.
All the features are as advertised. Two speeds with fabulous results on most woods with the faster speed. I haven't done boards longer than 24 in. so have not considered the optional feed trays.
It's noisy but not alarmingly so. I was obliged to rig an exhaust set up as the blower overwhelmed my dust/chip vacuum system, as the instructions said it would. A lidded bucket with an intake fitting and a screened hole to let the excess air out and I was good to go.
I had borrowed some time on a friend's cast iron monster planer from the '50s and this works better, faster, smoother, quieter, more portable, and vastly cheaper than his.
You can't go wrong with this unit.
This is my third one of these and my first real complaint. Generally I've had no problems straight out of the box, not this time. I cranked up when I first got it then got busy with other stuff. Until today, in the month I have owned it I ran one small southern yellow board through and attributed the lousy cut to the board. today, my first chance to work in my new furniture shop (I've been at this 40 years or so). Ran four 8/4 walnut legs through and the planer tore them up. Acts like worn out blades. Further the set of the plate and rollers is all screwed up. Black marks from the feed rollers. If I stay on the left side, no marks but it's a completely different depth. I'm guessing this was a return they cleaned up and sent out again. I am requesting a new one and no charge for the return. I waited months to be able to build again so my patience for this crap is non-existent. I'll change my rating and update on how they handle this.Update 3/14 pulled the blades, one side dull and with enough residue to have been heavily used. No idea how to adjust the roller that marks the boards. No comment from either Amazon or Dewalt. I'm guessing it was a repackaged return.

1. Table extensions are an $80 option...a) they are Not optional and b) they cost Dewalt $5 to make.
2. Low quality blades...I read dozens of reviews commenting on the soft edges and how the planer was fantastic once New carbides were purchased. By the end of my first 5 boards of softwoods the blades needed to be flipped.
3. The overpriced, optional table extensions from complaint #1, can't fold up to remain on planer so have to be removed for transport and storage.
If Dewalt wanted, these issues could be very easily remedied at minimal cost.
Otherwise it's a very well made planer.
I have run about 300 hundred feet through this planer at both low and high speed. I've limited my passes to 1/32 - 1/16. Absolutely perfect results. Very little snipe. Sands out in 2 seconds. No problem with blades. I built a stand for it and used a Big Horn dust bag for it (also from Amazon) which captures about 99.9% of the wood chips. I also built a sled for it to plane down twisted and cupped boards basically turning the planer into a jointer. This is a GREAT tool and I would certainly buy one again and have recommended it to many friends already.
Good job Dewalt!
