Thickness Planer

I own the Delta and have not seen the DeWalt, but the specs sure look good. Blade change is quick on the Delta, it is very capable. Woodcraft is having a 10% sale on Delta on December 13. After rebate it will be $309.

Either would be a good choice, IMO. Ed

The reviews say that both do a great job, with virtually no snipe. From a look-and-feel standpoint, the Dewalt makes the Delta seem like a toy. But that comes at a price... The Dewalt, I believe, is a tad over 100 pounds. I don't plan to move the thing around, except on casters in my shop, so I'll be getting the Dewalt.

Bought the 735 2 weeks ago and it is sitting in my shop waiting to come out of the box. I have other projects taking up my time for the next two weeks. I know another guy that bought it and he also bought the infeed and outfeed wings. I did not and will see how it works......I looked at both models since they were the only sub $500 units with two speeds. The three blades swung me to the 735......and I had a Lowes 10% off coupon that made the 735 only $430 + sales tax.

Be careful. after getting the planer you will want other toys...I also bought a Performax drum sander as another toy.

have you used the Performax yet? Have you seen the recent woodcraft circular? there is one listed in there as being NEW. Model 10-20 Plus, for $500. Is that the model you have?
