WALT revolutionizes surface finish through a one-of-a-kind three knife
cutter-head, two-speed gear box combination. It offers the ultimate in finish quality — even on hard to plane figured
woods — by offering the most cuts per inch available on any benchtop thickness planer. A fan-assisted chip ejection
system aids in the removal of debris and prevents excess chips from marring material. The unique automatic carriage
lock minimizes the movement that causes snipe without having to engage a lever before and after each pass. The solid
19-3/4" cast aluminum base provides twice the rigidity of traditional material support systems that utilize folding
tables. The DW735 is a must for the serious woodworker. It takes planing to a whole new level.
