I received my new DW735 two days ago and ran some quarter sawn white oak through it yesterday. I can say nothing but good things about it.
My old planer has died, a Delta 22-580 that I bought back in 2003. The commutator on the motor armature has chunks out of it and new brushes just get ate up when I put them in. I tried finding a used armature for it and failed at that effort. So I have put it in the corner to see if a used motor or armature turns up that I can put in it.
Meanwhile I wish I had one of these DW735 years ago. On the slow feed speed it puts out a silky smooth surface. Couldn't be happier with a new machine.
