Joe We ran them on 20 amp circuits. If so, are the newer ones only sold by certain retailers? All of the units had a similar table adjustment but one. 
While we didnt rank dust collection its worth discussing briefly. Personal preference? Ive had great luck with them. We love not, Festool Planex was on site to knock out some punch, Working for a company that runs mostly@makitatools, This website uses cookies to improve your experience. It has 12 wheels and can be easily set up and taken down by one person. 
While the Delta 22-590 finished near the end in this evaluation, the team felt it was also a nice planer to consider. David, thanks for your insight. One surface planer tip I use for accurate thickness pointer adjustment (another comparison point).
Ihave a problem with my DeWalt 735. We invited them to participate and they opted out. Can you actually put 13 work through the 735x without it bogging down or, put another way, how thick can the cut be at 13 without bogging down too much? Also running on speed 2 will need more power (Amps) so this also should be taken in to consideration. If youre buying one to last many years then Id say yesjust a big difference in performance. As you can see above, the DEWALT DW734 performed the best with an average deviation from 3/32 of just under 2 one-thousandths of an inch. Just curious, since the Triton rated higher than the Dewalt 734, why do you consider the Dewalt a better planer?
We also evaluated the smoothness by simply feeling the surfaces.
Most of the planers utilize a bolt to adjust the table vertically with a captured nut to hold the adjustment bolt in place. We were very impressed with the Makita planer and its setscrew adjustment. Edwin Havent seen/tried them. The four setscrews were easy to reach and we found it easy to dial in the proper adjustments.
The DEWALT DW735X came in second with just over 4 one-thousandths of an inch followed by Ridgid R4331 at just over 5 one-thousandths of an inch. I have owned portable planers over my 40 years in the trade. As a DeWalt fan, Im wanting to stay with that brand for my planer. David If my memory serves me correctly, we set each planer to its maximum recommended cutting depth. I may be overly cautious.
That would be an excellent test, especially since I think you were starting to see the effect of width with the poplar. High amp overload and heat are not good for electric motors. Thats without a shop vac or other additional load on the branch. Are they not up to par with those tested or is there another reason? Interesting question. Thanks Todd then the Dewalt was taking a deeper cut but by amp trace probably could have been reduced to reduce degree of OL. Anyway, hope this helps.
. The length of snipe on all the models we tested nearly mimic this distance.
While were not ranking this category we do feel the data is interesting and informative. Im a newbie setting up my shop and Im trying to stretch my dollars. In addition, the 735 has three blades in the cutter head. Obviously, the planers with three blades would take more time than the machines with two blades. Peter.
Many of the products that we review are provided to us for free by a manufacturer or retailer. 
We reach out to as many manufacturers as we can when we do these evaluations. You can;t always get what you want. Luke, my situation is similar. We are ranking these straight on the lowest to highest with prices available at the time of publication.
This is likely attributed to the powerful motor and excellent blades. Thickness planers produce high volumes of wood chips and dust, probably more so than most any other tool in the woodshop. For our testing we chose the following planers (follow links for manufacturers page on each planer): For this head-to-head test we focused on planing several different wood species, the surface finish, the power, and pricing. Ive been going back and forth between the DW735X and the R4331 and knowing all Ridgid power tools have a lifetime warranty has been really appealing, especially when it covers batteries as well. 
I cant personally speak for it.
I am not sure if the mounting holes on the DW735 will align with the mounting brackets of the cart, but that problem can be easily overcomesimply mount the planer to a properly sized piece of 1/2 or 3/4 plywood. The more of these we do, the more we learn, and in this evaluation weve taken a slightly different approach. In addition, the earliest versions dust evacuation fan did not require any dust collector. On each model the dial indicates how far the heads move up and down per revolution of the dial.
It is basically a huge router on its side and sounds like one.but louder. With that out of the way, comes #2. @boschtoolsna bla, Brought out the big guy ( Dewalt 10) for rippin, We dont use a framing nailer often in commercia, I know battery powered nailers are all the rage bu, @keenutility Troy 6" Boot w. Carbon Fiber ToeThe, Two is better than one in this case . Planers can also tear out small chunks (scallops) from the surface. It appears that all these units are equipped with 15 Amp, 110/120V single phase motors and the graph clearly indicates that some of them are going into high over load, particularly the DW735 at continuous 213% for the time it was dealing with the poplar. Everywhere I look it shows the Ridgid R4331 as being a part of their lifetime warranty but your chart shows a 3-year limited warranty. At least for me Im never in such a rush that an extra pass or two isnt a deal killer for me. A lot of good information, succinctly presented.
Great comparison review, and I appreciate you sharing the differences for categories that you did not include in the scoring, because it lets us add those back in to see what the revised score would have been if the category was ranked, or we can assign weighting to certain categories and see the ranking change considerably as well. All of the planers (with the exception of one) comes with a dust shroud so the planers can be attached to a dust collector. You get what you pay for . Before building my flip top cart, I thought about purchasing a fold-up Ridgid miter saw cart. Benchtop thickness planers are an essential piece of equipment for any woodshop. They really need to be cleaned off occasionally, I use mineral spirits. Luke All of these planers definitely pull some amps at times and running them on the same circuit as a dust collector may be problematic regardless of which you choose. Any minute difference will be magnified. I already knew that the DW735 is a good machine, but you pointed out some features that make me more comfortable with my decision. We did rank this category as its a great way to evaluate the power of the planers. I cannot install a centralized dust collection system with my setup. I would argue fit and finish is huge, and its not something that shows up when looking at general specs.
In his capacity at United he oversees the Residential and Commercial Building Division along with all Design-Build projects.He is also the editor of Home Construction & Improvement.
Several 12-1/2 Deltas, easy portability. The real question will be do you have a separate dedicated circuit, because if you run this on the same circuit as your dust collection Im certain that will be a problem. I just acquired a DW735 and am really pleased so far. Havent found anything in the manual or on the web. When was the last time you cleaned them?
I watch your channel and read your articles religiously. What did surprise us was the 2nd and 3rd place finishes of the Triton TPT125 and the Ridgid R4331. excellent review ! . Its everything about how well the components come together and the thoroughness of the attention the engineers and design team were to how the tool will be to use, take apart, snap together, the movement of levers, how much drift you get over time, etc. But its important to note if youre going to buy the DEWALT DW735X you MUST have a dedicated 20A circuit as its not going to run well on a 15A circuit. We knew that the 18 Poplar at a maximum cut depth would tax the power of these planers. It looks like they are offering a sale right now. In order to record the no-load feed rate for a section of wood 45 long (same length of the samples wed be running through the planer), we used a longer board (60) with two marks near each end that were 45 apart. I have 20amp breakers in my shop and am wondering if that is enough juice to power either of those machines? We used calipers to measure the average thickness of each wood sample before and after a pass to remove 3/32. You can buy the X with it online,, just type in with stand in your Google search. We will always strive for objectivity and transparency in our reviews. Further yet, run each side, one at a time and compare rigidity of the cutterhead and accuracy. Looking for an option that can be rolled out of a trailer and used on a stand reliably. The DEWALT 735X and the Triton TPT125 were able to keep the feed rate much closer to the no-load rate compared to the rest of the field. We used the following boards in our testing: Prior to testing day, we unboxed the bench-top thickness planers and set up the equipment with dust collection manifolds (if so supplied) and put on accessories. It would seem that based on that chart the DeWalt 735X is in a league of its own in terms of current draw, and would be far more likely to overload a dust collector that turns on/off based on the tool that is plugged into it. The specifics and the differences are show in the lists below. Now I know better which tool to wish for! Your own testing rated the Triton better. Next blue chalk powder was rubbed onto the last 6 of the board in order to make the snipe condition stand out visually.
If you go that route, be aware that they run sales several times per year. Thats all great feedback, ultimately we need to come up with a winner (our winner) but each of you can take the data weve presented and weigh the results differently to best match your needs and come up with your own winner.
In my experience with the 735, it generally works fine as the only tool on a 20A circuit, but it will occasionally trip the CB.
