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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but not great.

The price varies a lot and it looks like I bought it at a high price which was a shame. I have to say this was an upgraded blade from the original single edged blade. I was expecting an increase in performance. I wouldn't say it brought the machines' performance back to 'like new' levels. It's more than 70% of what it used to be, but definitely better than old worn out blades. I believe I installed correctly as I paid close attention and double checked my work. It just seems that the machine can only take small, thin layers. Maybe it's the orientation. I will check my car and if by any chance the car was an issue I will come back and revise the review.

Pros
  • Machined alignment pins make it easier and faster to align new knives
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
