Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhance Your DW735 Planer with the DEWALT Folding Table Accessory (DW7351) by Marcus Munoz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better. So after further research

Okay, I've read the reviews here and on a few other sites and just feel compelled to sign up. First, using 735 without these tables resulted in a snipe. Managed by raising at each end of the board, but still shoots from cover. There are almost no more snipes at these tables. The minimum snipe I got with these tables installed is less than 1,000. I can live with that. Second, I read that these tables are not stackable. It's bullshit. let me explain. When I first installed them, the exit table was only half folded. I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled them multiple times, and at one point during that process I must have switched ends because I noticed the output channel table was now folding. up to about 60 degrees. Better. So upon closer inspection I noticed that the lever it is mounted in, or rather the lever just above the spring-loaded pivot, was touching the planer casting. This way the file comes out, and within a few strokes to continue rounding the stainless steel lever, no bumps, and the table folds completely. 2 caveats however. You will need to remove the dust vent or lift the planer high enough to clear it. Second, the power cord gets in the way at the exit point of the case. Bad design. Basically it folds in about 87 degrees but doesn't stay there because of the cord. Maybe bungee around the block to keep it safe? Third, and most importantly, make sure you try to use these tables as they come. See, DeWalt set them up. Everything I thought I knew about coplanarity doesn't apply to these tables. I lined them up and put a fine ruler across the whole bed and noticed that BOTH tables were higher on the ends than the plane bed itself. After you adjust the tables so everything is absolutely smooth. SNIPE! Yes. I then proceeded to adjust the ends so they were about a dime wide across the bed. Still snipe, but better. So 2 more table adjustments (about a quarter of the width) and ZERO snipe. It looks like DeWalt adjusted them from the start as they're back to where they started. So, as said, try them out as they were delivered to you FIRST! When you get Snipe, you will most likely be able to customize it. worked for me I love this planer and these tables. But they had to be included in the kit for the money DeWalt gets for the planer. As a side note I included a Shelix head and if a person can love a car then yes. Haven't looked back yet.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Okay basically, but...
