G'day SwampBug,
I did a reasonably comprehensive search for it two days ago and found nothing, tried catalogue searches, pics and text - nil.
I hear its all a rumour to jack up their share prices so Leon can sell :-)

'doityourself.com' has it listed forsale. at a 'discounted' price that is
25% *above* what the Wood Mag write-up says is 'list' price.and doityourself has 'pop-up'/pop-under ads on their web-site.
They're *not* getting my business, for anything, ever.
Short write-up in the Oct. issue of Wood magazine.

I have the Oct. Wood mag and read the write-up. Impressive booger! I understand it has 'disposable blades' and the article said something about 'self-indexing blade system' and needs no alignment tool. But I need more input for that much cash. seems I'll just have to wait!

If you really want to post pictures, I believe thats what alt.binaries.pic.woodworking (I think thats the right group) is for. Just post back here w/ the title/subject the pictures are under, and (most) everybody is happy ;)

For less money, fewer features, but the same blade and locking system, Delta has model DW734. About $100 less but still great results ($380 vs $480).

FYI, it's alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. Sadly, not all news servers carry binaries groups. As they say, check your local listings.

Dunno what the big hush hush is all about. I have literature on the two new planers. DW734 and DW735. They are going to retail for about 399 and 499 respectively.
I could scan the literature and post it if need be.

I'll do it tomorrow at work. Should have it done in the morning. Convenient that I have a scanner on my desk. hehehehe
I dunno how I can post it though. We don't have a news server at work. Can you do binaries with Google?
I'll figure out something.
Check out alt.binaries.woodworking in about a day.

Amazon will have both the 735 and 734 available on the 15th. Someone asked about photos. Amazon has them online now. The large ones show quite a bit of detail.
The DW735 is $479.99 - $25 promotion code (through October 31) = $454.99 The DW734 is $379.99 - $25 promotion code (through October 31) = $354.99
Both offer free shipping.
BTW, the DW733 is Friday Sale priced @ $284.99 through midnight. Minus $25 = $259.99. Again with free shipping.

Hold some upward pressure on the end of the wood as it enters, and leaves the planer.

I haven't noticed that yet, it seems pretty solid. The wheel is pretty light weight and the handle that sticks out to crank it spins on it's own axle. The wheel attaches very tightly to the post, which has a flat side, and then a hex night screws into the post through a hole in the wheel holding it on. I was putting one board through at a time so I was pushing one through, lowering the blade, pushing the same one through, etc etc. I don't know if I ran it without touching the wheel enough for it to do that. Sometime in the next week or so I will be running a bunch of 1" boards through taking them down to 3/4". I'll run them all through at the same height, make the adjustment, and run then them all through again while checking it after multiple boards. I never even thought to check for that or ask about it when I was shopping for planers, does that happen a lot? I'll be keeping an eye on it and report back if it does. The four upright posts the carriage moves on are all really thick and threaded so I hope it doesn't. It is supposed to have automatic carriage lock, but I don't know how it works. I've never engaged a non-auto lock either so I don't have a comparison base. None of the sales people would let me actually run wood through one when I was shopping around.

It was prolly a question borne out of ignorance of what is normal but the possibility occurred to me. I played with the one at Lowe's and have to agree the wheel isn't sloppy loose by any means so it will prolly not happen. But I am a chronic worrier so, , , Thanks for the reply. I am waiting for a place I shop at around here

to let me know something on it but I may get impatient and just trot on over to Lowe's and plop down the bucks.
