    I don't know but I am glad to know I am not the only one beating my head against the wall with this planner. I anxiously await a response.

    Ah, good. Beat me to it. I was going to post that it seems they have done this for others.

    Since I started this thread, I'll post my experience. I received a new set of blades from DeWalt and installed them in my 735 and they have lasted quite a bit longer than the original blades that were in it. I just changed out that set of blades about a week ago. I don't use the planer that much, since I don't do that much stock preparation, but I'm satisfied with the new DeWalt blades. I'll have to see what service I get on this third set of blades.

    I'd still like to hear anyone's experience with the Infinity blades.

    I did a search on the infinity blades and there's a set for a little under $200 that are supposed to last 10X longer than OEM replacements. I am almost tempted to buy them but can't bring myself to spend that much for blades.

    That set has a (only one) carbide edge and Infinity sells it for $250. They also have a HSS set for about $80.

    You can see both sets here.

    I didn't buy the Infinity blades. I got a new set from DeWalt free and those blades have lasted much longer than the initial set I had in the planer.

    Read post #33 in this thread.

    Mike the ones that didn't last long, where they original?

    I have always wondered if the planer actually shipped with hss knives. I inherited my 735, so I don't have the box it came in, but the owners manual says nothing about hss. The only place I have ever seen "hss" was on the replacement blade package.

    I bought the planer used but the guy I bought it from had hardly used it (he upgraded to a floor model), so I'm pretty sure the knives were original. I talked with him about the knives and he claimed he had not reversed the blades.

    I never thought they might not be HSS - I just figured DeWalt might have had a bad batch of blades and that's why they were so easy in giving a free replacement.

    I really trust the guy I bought the planer from so I don't think he was fibbing. And he had no real reason to misrepresent the situation to me.
