The Ultimate Surface Finish for Serious Woodworkers

Transform rough lumber into precision-finished boards with the DEWALT DW735X 13 in. Heavy-Duty 2-Speed Thickness Planer. Engineered for professional carpenters and serious hobbyists, this powerhouse features a robust 15 Amp motor capable of generating 20,000 RPM (10,000 RPM cutter-head speed). This immense power allows the unit to handle deep cuts in wide hardwoods like oak and walnut with ease. Unlike standard planers, the DW735X utilizes a three-knife cutter-head system that delivers 30% longer knife life and a superior surface finish, significantly reducing the need for post-planing sanding. The integrated fan-assisted chip ejection system vacuums chips off the cutter head and blasts them out of the machine, preventing debris from marring your work.

Precision and versatility are at the heart of this machine's design. The exclusive 2-speed gearbox allows you to optimize your workflow: select the "Dimensioning" speed (96 cuts per inch) for rapid material removal, or switch to the "Finishing" speed (179 cuts per inch) for an incredibly smooth surface. To combat the common issue of snipe, the planer features an Automatic Carriage Lock that stabilizes the cutter head without manual engagement. Built on a massive 19-3/4 inch cast aluminum base—twice as rigid as standard 10-inch bases—and equipped with a material removal gauge and extra-large thickness scale, this tool ensures every pass is accurate, stable, and flawless.

Key Features

  • High-Power Motor: 15 Amp motor spins at 20,000 RPM to drive the cutter head at 10,000 RPM for smooth, consistent cuts.
  • 3-Knife Cutter Head: Provides a finer finish and 30% longer knife life compared to standard 2-knife systems.
  • 2-Speed Gearbox: Choose between 96 CPI for fast sizing or 179 CPI for a furniture-grade finish.
  • Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection: actively vacuums chips from the cutter head to prevent clogging and surface imperfections.
  • Automatic Carriage Lock: Reduces movement that causes snipe, eliminating the need for manual lock engagement.
  • Rigid Stability: Features a 19-3/4" cast aluminum base that is 2X more rigid than standard folding tables.
  • Precision Depth Stops: Turret depth stop allows users to return to frequently used thicknesses (1/4", 1/2", 3/4") quickly.
  • Material Removal Gauge: Calibrated gauge indicates the precise amount of material being removed with each pass.

Pro-Tip: To maximize the lifespan of your planer blades and motor, take advantage of the 2-speed gearbox strategically. Use speed setting 1 (96 CPI) for dimensioning thickness—this feeds faster and saves your blades. Switch to speed setting 2 (179 CPI) only for your very last pass to achieve that glass-smooth finish that requires little to no sanding.
