Have new out of the box 735 planer is supposed to plane down to 1/8″. Have completed set up from owner manual.
I have cranked head up beyond 2″, set minimum to 1/8″, then when I crank head down, will only go to 3/4″.
De Walt want me to take to nearest De Walt service center which is over 100 miles (one-way). Anyone have an idea to fix.
Did you try rotating the dial on the front bottom corner? I believe there are 3 different heights.
yes, thank you, I have it set to lowest setting
I bet your set stop is set wrong, it is the bolt in the picture under the depth knob, get a 1/2″ wrench and loosen the not that is on it then lower it and all the way down, then get an 1/8″ board set it in the planer lower the head until it just touchs the board then raise the set stop while your depth knob is set to 1/8″ you can also do ir with an 1/4″, 1/2″ 3/4″ just set your depth dial accordingly.
