Lunchboxes don't carry the Starwars logo any more: Dewalt/Delta?

One issue to remember, and to test in the store, if you plan to be moving the planer, is weight and how it carries. I bought a 734 because the extra weight and less user-friendly physical shape (when carrying it) of the 735 meant it was either not going to be portable the way I wanted it to be OR it was going to cost me a back or other injury. The 734's performance, by the way, is great.

I recently purchased the 735. Have planed about 50 bf of walnut. It performed flawlessly. It is loud and it is heavy. I used the slow speed to work the wood to dimension then the high speed for finish. I don't have it connect to a DC as I have to move it out of storage to use it. Throws chips into a nice little pile. No experience with any other planers except big stuff when I was in the 'business' but this is a great little machine for the money.

Without the hose, I believe it'll throw the chips all over the place.

Thanks for all the info...sounds like 735 might be the winner!
