We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
Just bought one after 2 weeks of OCD research and yes no snipe, box hadn't fell of the forklift so it was good and I'm happy, its quite and fly's through 6x4 oak easy and got the extractor aswell in the box 🤠
Just borrowed one of these. Got a lot of pallet wood that I’m planning on flattening and laminating and then turning into a desk top. Looking forward to switching it on!
Lathams in hemel, or arnold laver in Borehamwood stock rough sawn oak mate, its a lot cheaper than you'd think for America white oak like your veneer. European oak like the old furniture you broke down to use is a bit more pricey 👍👍
I tried with a triton.. 399 euros vs 650 for the Makita.. One of the sprockets broke on the feed spindles. I think I'm going to have to spend the extra cash and get a Makita. All my cordless are Makita, table saw is DeWalt. All the contractors from the UK in Portugal seem to use Makita. In the US the popular brand is Milwaukee. I have Makita from the US and Europe and it appears the build quality on the Makita in Europe is a bit better.
Very enjoyable. It’s a shame they don’t do a planer/ thicknesser, maybe they do. Triton make a thicknesser that get good reviews. Most of my power tools are Makita with the odd bit of Festool. I don’t get what the fuss is about with that brand but will invest in a Domino when the next job turns up that I can use it on.
I’m setting up a workshop for small wood projects. Thinking about getting this but wondering what’s the shortest length of wood you can send through that? Would it suddenly shoot out a small slab of wood say 1’ to 6” long? Thanks!
I wanted a Makita thicknesser, I actually paid for one. I wasn't told I would have to wait almost 3 months to take delivery. Late June was the estimated delivery time. After waiting 3 weeks and not receiving it, Makita informed me of the delay. Needless to say I asked for a refund, I received it today. They blame Covid for the delay.
Nice! Did the package include the dust extraction chute? I'm asking this because where I'm from they're selling it without it. Iv gotta buy it separately if I want it...
@@tentonhammer5469 thanks for the info. Recently bought this planer. The manual states that the chute may be sold separately depending on the country.... :(
@@mariano_353 I've been trying to decide between this and the dewslt 733 probably going to order the makita tomorrow. Whats your experience using the makita?
@@tentonhammer5469 not lengthy enough to pass a serious judgement. Just ran a board to test it and I can say it came out smooth with the machine right out of the box. Barely noticeable snipe.

@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop i see. I just had my Jet JWP12 motor and gearbox housing broken into pieces and it may already damage the amarture too because of the lousy plastic it was made from. Fyi, i casually used it within my 6-7 yrs of owning it with mostly pine wood as the load. Very dissappointing. Hopefully the makita is more robust.
What a jolly fine video this is! hat off, the video is helping me lots

I aslo have one of those Keter benches, is very handy and light
Nice one mate! I’ve got the same thicknesser and I love it, it’s a beast of a machine especially for a “bench top” thicknesser 🤙🏻
Just bought one after 2 weeks of OCD research and yes no snipe, box hadn't fell of the forklift so it was good and I'm happy, its quite and fly's through 6x4 oak easy and got the extractor aswell in the box 🤠
Amazing! I really do like them, I dont use it alot but when I do it's enjoyable 👍
Hi mate. I'm thinking of buying one. Are these any good to plane 2.4 meter lengths of green oak do you think? 200mm wide
@@davidfalat4377 Im the same David, need one to clean up 200x100 green oak new sleepers.Did you purchase one? Best price ive found UK is £445 inc vat

It's a lovely machine, real pleasure to use it

Workbench gonna be a nice build
I just made a start on the bench today, got the cutting list made and materials ordered 👌
Hey, great thanx.
Ear defenders/mask? Looks like a very tempting machine....

the indent in the end of the plank is called "snipe"
Yep it didn't come to me when I was filming 👍🙂
Nice one Ryan
Looking forward to the workbench
I have just ordered the materials for it so one step closer 👍👍

Thanks, yeah I'm the same as you, I just took the plunge with the domino and I've never looked back

Hi id probably say 6" would be the smallest. I'm sure it would manage that but would really want to go any smaller 👍
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop thanks a lot and all the best for your work!
Is it good for flattening wood slabs( I mean near to flat slabs)
I've never tried it tbh, but it's a good powerful machine
I have used it to plane rough cut lumber. It works fairly well for a bench top planer.
I wanted a Makita thicknesser, I actually paid for one. I wasn't told I would have to wait almost 3 months to take delivery. Late June was the estimated delivery time. After waiting 3 weeks and not receiving it, Makita informed me of the delay. Needless to say I asked for a refund, I received it today. They blame Covid for the delay.
I have a question about the blade durability, how long did it take before the blades get dull?
Did I see a Milwaukee bag my? lol GV
Just got one of these. Was it ok out the box? Mine isn’t cutting, the cutting blades are above the rollers. Cheers.
Hi mine worked perfectly out the box, not sure what's happened to yours 😬
Nice! Did the package include the dust extraction chute? I'm asking this because where I'm from they're selling it without it. Iv gotta buy it separately if I want it...
In the UK it comes with it.

Why not the Dewalt 733 734 or 735?
I'm just a makita kinda guy lol, try and get everyone to match 😁
How does this stack up against the dewalt 735?
Hi tbh I've never tried the dewalt
735 is nearly twice as heavy and you can retrofit with helix cutters (about 400 euros). So in a different league. And difficult to get to Europe.
6min into the "review" and not a word about the machine in the title 🙄

See ya fella you rude ****
You should have gone to the brentwood hardwood offcut store to get your oak its a lot cheaper
Nice to know for next time thank you!
What does the motor/gearbox housing/cover made from? Plastic or metal?
I think its all plastic apart from the top and bottom of the machine, and of course the internal table

Have you ever had a problem with snipe on the makita?
Not really, it seems like a really good thicknesser
I have. My cabinet planer does a better job. The longer cast iron table seems to make the difference.
First!
Can't wait to see the video on all the machines
The dip is called snipe
Of the sprayers?
Yeah I couldn't think of the word, snipe!
I can’t use my thicknesser outside without ear defenders let alone in a small room.. you’ll be deaf by 40 🤕
I've only got 6 months till I go deaf then!
Only kidding, I know what you mean, health and safety is important 👍
perhaps this is out of order, but please go see a doctor about the tremor in your right hand man
That's ok.
Its my concentration Twitch, only really happens when I'm concentrating on doing something.
Didn't realise I did it on this vid 😁
