    DeWalt DW735 planer dust collection

    Hi everyone !

    I want to know if someone here with a DW735 planer has try to plug the DW735 in a dust collector ? I have the accessory collection bag but I'm not very happy about the small dust that it doesn't filter. I asked to the technical support of DeWalt how many CFM the blower is but they answered me that they don't recommand me to plug it in a dust collector. I'm sure if I choose a dust collector that have more CFM than the DW735 blower it will be ok. I'm just curious if someone here try it ...

    Thanks !

    Perhaps the problem is that negative pressure will cause the built-in evacuation motor to spin too fast and be damaged.

    The blower's motor is the same than the planer's motor. Only one motor. At one end, you have the gear for the knives and at the other end, you have the blower.

    I found a picture of the DW735 hooked up to a dust collector on DeWalt's site:

    I use mine with my dc all the time. No problems. I was not aware they didn't want you hooking it up to a dc. Seems kinda odd since they include an adapter for it.

    Thanks all !

    Chris and Bob, how many CFM is your dust collector ? I just want to be sure that I choose a dust collector more powerful in term of CFM than the dewalt blower. In the review that Don Baer mentionned, the author said he has no problem with his delta 50-760 dust collector, which is a 1200 CFM. Delta also sell a 650 CFM(model AP400). I think it won't be enough.

    Mario,
    I have run the DW735 with and without the Delta DC hooked up (as shown in my review); and can not notice a change in rpm of the planer. The 4"-diameter connector that came with it would seem like a goofy thing to include if it was not to be hooked to a dust collector. As a mater of fact, making a planer that can't be hooked to a dust collector would be very strange.
    I have heard from many people using the DW735 and no one has had any trouble with the dust collection, or anything else really.

    Thumbs up

    I have my DC hooked up to my 735 and it works fine [for about a year now].

    That's what I told to the technical support of DeWalt.

    I'll copy you my conversation with them.

    We do not recommend doing so because the vacs will fill-up in no time due to the efficiency of the DW735 (95-98% of chips) versus other planers with dust extraction via a vac adapter and vacuum. That's why we recommend that you not use it. It was a major source of frustration for our testers who found that they loved the product with a DW7353.

    Thank you

You option bag doesn't work fine for me. Selling a planer that can't be connect to a dust collector is something I can' t understand. Next time I'll plan to buy a planer, I'll think twice before choosing a planer with a blower (whether it is a dewalt or not.). I really need to know how many CFm it blow because I want to choose a dust collector that have more cfm than the planer.

    Thanks

    We do not have a CFM rating available for this unit as we do not recommend using this unit with any sort of dust collector.

    Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve you. If your question remains unresolved or if you require additional information please update this incident.

    Sincerely,

    Jeff

    Mario,

    I can understand not using the planer with a vac, because it will fill up very, very quickly. However, I am baffled by Dewalt recommending not using a dust collector.

    Could it be that the bozo didn't know the difference?

    I have a Delta 50-850 hooked to my Dewalt 735 and have absolutely no problems. Like the previous poster I have tried with and without and there is no difference.
