Walnut stand for DeWalt 735 planer

[difalkner]

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago after my 20 year old DeWalt 733 died that with the new DeWalt 735 I wanted to build a stand.  Well, it is built and works just fine.  I started out to build it entirely of Walnut but it turned out I didn't have quite enough on hand without getting into my good stock and I wasn't about to do that.  So parts of it are Walnut.

 

Here's the finished stand under my tablesaw extension -

 

 

And here's the build video -

 

Enjoy!

Nice!

 

The one thing I didn't like about my 735 was the way the chip ejector was positioned. The dust collector hose kept getting caught on the exiting planed pieces. I went to Lowes and bought a 4" PVC 90 degree elbow and then turned an insert to mate the elbow to the ejector port. That solved that problem.

Auto scissor jacks are everywhere cheap.  Rig up your drill to operate it.

nicely done David...

Here's a teaser from the video - the stand raises 9" when I need it to be higher -

I did the same thing but used a D2729 90 deg elbow - no turning required

Elegant solution, Kelly. I use a dedicated DC, so no need to ever disconnect. The hose is just wired to one of the posts.

Nice solution for the space constraints.

 

So, David, how you liking the new 735? That chip/dust blower is a surprise, isn't it?

[difalkner]

Thanks!  It's a great machine and yes, I was quite surprised at the power of that internal blower.  I had seen videos but did not realize the full potential.

I should have checked a little more before jumping on the one I bought!

  I fired mine up without a collector, for the first test, too!! What a mess!!!

I think it was Herb (Dadio) that suggested just running a hose into a garbage can. No more overwhelming my little portable dust collector and saves the mess in the driveway.

 

I AM NOT sorry that I listened to a couple of peoples suggestions and sprung for mine...

When I bought my planer, they had a special cap for a trash can. I looked at it but bring myself to pay out $60 for a piece of cloth. Instead, I made my own- 

 

 

Some cheap muslin from the fabric store, some heave cord and a 4" modified sheet metal fitting. Worked super.
