Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Your DW734 Planer with DEWALT Planer Blades (DW7342) by Orlando Mohr

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Broke after 4 boards

I love my Dewalt planner. However, after the installation of 4 white spruce 2x6 boards, the sheet had already flaked off on the left side. A bit disappointed but I understand that things like this happen. And yes, I know they can be rotated. I was hoping for a slightly better result than 4 soft pieces of wood and then chipped. I was lucky that it was far enough to the left that I could run the boards from the right to erase the line behind the chip. I would buy and will buy again as they are great value and can at least turn around for another life extension. Luckily I kept the decent blades I replaced in a handy plastic case and will probably just replace the broken blade with the best blade I have. There are still a lot of table tops left, so hopefully the rest will hold up.

Pros
  • Machined alignment pins make it quick and easy to line up new knives
Cons
  • Fits
