I have been renting a house for a while and in an apartment for the last year and my tools have been packed up in storage. In another week I am closing on a house and finally get to set my shop back up. I used to have a DW734 and hated it. Too much snipe and just never felt good about it.....so I sold it, and now I need to replace it. I've been looking at the DW735 and have heard great things about it. Was recently looking at reviews and almost everyone complained about the noise level. Some said that even with hearing protection it was too loud.
With that said, I'd like to hear some feedback from people using the DW735 and what they think of the noise level. I live alone so I'm only worried about my ears, not bothering anyone else. I'd be particularly interested in hearing from people who have the DW735 but have used other planers to get a comparison.
I have also heard that switching between speeds is a bit tricky so any thoughts on that?
And as a last request, if anyone is happy with their planer (non- DW735) and think they get high quality results, please let me know. I was considering the Delta as an alternative.
Thanks
