13 best portable thickness planer

Product description

13", heavy duty, portable 2 speed thickness planer.

The DEWALT DW735 features a three-knife cutterhead and a powerful 15 amp motor that delivers 10,000 rpm. It offers quick, accurate depth adjustment and the convenience of knives that are both reversible and disposable. This fully featured portable planer makes it easy to create clean custom stock.

Powerful 15 Amp Motor for Clean Cuts

Benchtop planers are a long-term investment that allow you to save money over time by buying rough stock and dimensioning it yourself. They also make creating custom materials easier, which, in turn, makes getting great results easier.

The DW735 13-Inch Planer's powerful 15 amp motor can handle deep cuts in tough hardwoods. Its three-knife cutterhead and two-speed gearbox deliver 96 or 179 cuts per inch (cpi). Use 96 cpi when dimensioning material and 179 cpi for a finer finish.

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.

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.

Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection for Dust Management

The DW735 features a Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection System with a motorized fan that breaks down debris as it leaves the cutterhead and blows it into one of the two dust shrouds (included). One shroud disperses the chips down onto the shop floor while the other provides a connection for a vacuum hose or dust-collector hose.

This sturdy planer weighs 92 pounds. It offers a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch, a depth capacity of 6 inches, and a width capacity of 13 inches.

The DW735 13-Inch Thickness Two-Speed Planer with Three-Knife Cutterhead also 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.

From the Manufacturer

The DW735 13-inch thickness planer from DeWalt provides best in class surface finish through a one of a kind three knife cutter-head--even in hard to plane figured woods. At 96 or 179 cuts per inch, the DW735 offers the finist finish via the most cuts per inch available on a benchtop thickness planer. A fan-assisted chip ejection system aids in the removal of debris and prevents excess chips from marring your material. The unique automatic carriage lock minimizes the movement that causes snipe without engaging a lever before and after each pass. A solid 19-3/4-inch cast aluminum base provides twice the rigidity of traditional material support systems that utilize folding tables. The DW735 is a must for the serious woodworker.

Question:	What is snipe
Answer:	A snipe occurs within the first 2" on the infeed and outfeed of the wood. The blade may cut deeper when a snipe occurs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried planning off paint on cedar with this machine? I have hundreds of feet to recycle
Answer:	yes. I've removed paint and finish with this.. not on cedar, but on mahogany and oak. However, do keep in mind that this will greatly impact the working life of the blades. But that's a small price to pay for such convenience. I say go for it. You'll love the result and it sure beats sanding or scraping with a card scraper.
Question:	Can the in-feed and out-feed rollers or carriage lock be adjusted to reduce snipe
Answer:	Make the last or final pass a very minimul cut depth ie. 1/64. This helps with snipe. The bigger the cut, the more snipe you will get. Make sure the material is support flat against the table as it begins the cut, and on the exit table as well. The pressure rollers tend to make the board 'tip' as it enters and exits (this is typical in any planer, even the big industrial ones found in mill houses). As far as waxing the tables, i much prefer to use a table top silicon type lube usually sold in spray cans at your local wood supply. These leave a non build moisture resistant film that will not only make the table very slick, but leave no waxy residue that can transfer to your lumber and cause finishing issues. Wax that transfers to your lumber can act as a release agent when applying typical lacquer base or poly type finishes. Last but not least, some snipe is considered acceptable from any planer. It's just the way it is. Always start with a board thats a few inches longer than finish length and plan on cutting off the ends. These little planers are better than most, but you can never plan on not haveing some snipe.
Question:	My first project with this will be planing 8"-10" wide Jatoba planks. How many linear feet can I expect to get out of one set of knives
Answer:	i really can not tell you , i still running my first set of knives and i have ran many hundred of feet thru , and they still run great we run oak, pine ,maple ,ash, walnut, beech , lot of oak &ash
Question:	are you happy with this purchase? or do you wish you got the 13" model with 2 speeds for $150 more
Answer:	I'm a hobbyist and have had the DW734 for about a year now. Most of my planning had been hardwoods, Maple, Cherry, Walnut and some Purple Heart. None of them have had complicated figure. The widest board I've run through the machine was about a 9" glue up. I've gotten very good results and virtually no tear out. For my purposes an extra 1/2" in width and 2 speeds wouldn't make any difference in my projects. For me, this was a great buy. Depending on your needs, your results may var :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be installed on a large planer? I have a 24" wide planer that goes up to 6" thickness
Answer:	Most likely. It just needs a place to mount to the side of the blade path where the body can screw to the moving part of the planer and the ruler can touch someplace in plane with the bed.
Question:	What type of battery is used by the unit that you, not woodcraft, are selling
Answer:	From the Wixey web site: The Wixey Portable Planer Readout model WR510 Type 2 has an angled display for easy viewing, uses AAA batteries and an auto shut off. If you buy one that has other batteries, it's an older model or a knock off.
Question:	I want a feb. '18 reply from the seller: if i order this now will it use aaa batteries? is this the one called type 2 on the wixey site
Answer:	This unit uses 2 AAA batteries. Realitively easy to change.
Question:	Has anyone installed this on the Steel City 40100 planer? If so, how did it work out for you
Answer:	No not yet. I have the digital measurement but it does not look like a straight forward add- I have a DeWalt planer for which I will try to install in the next month or so

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this machine the same as the 735 w/o the extra blades and infeed and outfeed tables
Answer:	Yes it is the same as the standard 735. As to the ware on the blades - I've planed over 300bf in the 6 years that I've had this unit. I missed a label staple on the end of a board and now have a 1/32nd hairline strip that shows and I easily clean up with a scraper. I also purchased an extra set of HSS (high speed steel) knives and put the money out ($158 for the set) for carbide edged which I only use on the last phase of the construction. I've got an older 13" planer that I use strictly for rough plane jobs and paint and varnish removal when I recycle older woodwork.
Question:	How much thickness does this take, when used just for finishing? i have ok smooth oak in 13/16", would like it ++smooth but can't give more than
Answer:	You can take as little or as much off as you want. It is measurable down to about 1/64" but if there is any cupping or warping within the board that may vary a bit. I would recommend a random orbital sander going up to 320 grit to get a ++smooth surface
Question:	How easy is it to change blades on this planer? Thanks
Answer:	Easy, about 10-15 minutes: 1) Remove four 5/32nds" headed screws to remove the top yellow cowling. 2) Remove 3 red thumbscrews to remove the black dust shroud - clean out any blocked wood chips. 3) Remove eight 5/32nds" headed screws on each of the three blades. 4) Flip the blades, or sharpen if they've already been flipped. 5) Reassemble in the reverse order. If using a power drill with a 5/32nd inch allen wrench head (e.g., https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VH7ZQGC or something similar), set the drill on medium torque and it will take about 10 minutes. (If you manually unscrew the screws using the T handled allen wrench it will take twice as long.) If careful (having heard of the others stories), it doesn't seem hard to to remove/replace the screws with enough torque to seat them properly, but not so hard that they get struck. I'm planing very hard madrone wood, and the blades have lasted about 150-200 lineal feet of wood that is about a foot wide before needing replacing. Use the #1 (slow) feed speed for hard woods - I didn't know about this until reading the manual...
Question:	Does this planer have a 2.5" or 4" dust ejector port? Thanks
Answer:	It has a 2.5" port with a 4" adapter. Follow the useful advice from the other folks, use the 4" adapter with a 4" hose/duct. Cheers 🥃

User questions & answers

Question:	Can a Shellix cutterhead be installed on this unit
Answer:	We have not tested the Shellix with this model. Therefor, we cannot recommend it.
Question:	I want to know if this machine have two blades
Answer:	what is the blades for 2017 50-ho 105624 serial number
Question:	where is it made
Answer:	Manufactured in China.
Question:	I live in Bulgaria and our electrical supply is 220 Volt, can I work with this here
Answer:	Yes you can. I have taken quite a few 120 volt appliances to Europe and used a transformer to step up the voltage. Voltage is NOT the concern. Europeans use 50 cycle AC. In the US we use 60. So motors will run a bit slower but they will work. Conversely, if you bring a European motor appliance to the US, they will run faster and probably burn out the motor.

Product description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life. The WEN 13 in. 3-Blade Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood to give it an exceptionally smooth finish. The powerful 15 Amp motor provides over 25,500 cuts per minute at a 26 ft. per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 13 in. W and 6 in. T with ease. The onboard planning gage helps inform users about the amount of material being removed during each pass. Combine that with the heavy-duty cast iron base for a sturdy planer that does not walk or wobble during operation. The handy depth adjustment knob varies each pass to take off anywhere from 0 in. to 3/32 in. of an inch. The fan-assisted dust port removes chips and sawdust from the workpiece and blasts them out of the way. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your workpiece during planning. Easily mount the planer to a work surface or stand using the predrilled base holes. Repurpose old wood or make a set of boards flush with the WEN 13 in. 3-Blade Benchtop Thickness Planer. And because its a WEN product, this planer comes backed by a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, a helpful customer support line and a two-year warranty. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods. Remember WEN.

Product description

Larger construction projects require high volumes of wood to be sheared down to the proper size for uniform builds. A planer is the best tool to get them properly shorn. Rather than exhausting yourself with a hand planer, go with Ryobi. They have the HPL52K, a powerful 6 amp depth planer that can run up to 16,500 RPM. Simply plug its 6 foot cord into your wall outlet, attach the dust bag to whichever side you prefer, pull the trigger, and you’ll have cleanly shaved wood in no time. There are plenty of features on here that help you achieve the best experience. There is the rubber overmold that keeps friction high between your hands and the tool, allowing greater control in slippery environments. There is also a kickstand on the back of the unit the prevents it from marring your wood surfaces. It is also fully adjustable, letting you move the depth from 0 to 1/8" in 1/96” increments. With these features included in the HPL52K’s robust design, it’s no wonder that you’ll be working with Ryobi.

• ADJUSTABLE: Adjust your depth from 0-1/8" in 1/96” increments. This versatility will allow you to tackle a variety of woodworking projects with maximum precision
• GRIPZONE OVERMOLD: A rubber molding over the grip allows precise handling, even in slippery conditions
• SAFETY: A lock-off button prevents accidental activation, which saves you from ruining your work causing damage to equipment or yourself
• DUAL EXHAUST PORTS: There are ports on either side of the unit. You can choose which side to blow chips out of depending on which side you stand on the unit when working
• REAR MOUNTED KICKSTAND: This plastic piece on the back of the planer will prevent it from scuffing or otherwise marring your work surfaces
