    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.

    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!

    • @thelondoncraftsmanworkshop
      @thelondoncraftsmanworkshop  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

      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.

    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 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.

    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.
