Description
The DeWalt DW734 12-1/2 in. Thickness Planer is engineered for precision, durability, and smooth performance on a wide range of hardwoods and softwoods. Powered by a robust 15 Amp motor, it easily handles large, deep cuts — making it ideal for furniture makers, remodelers, and serious woodworkers. Its three-knife cutter head, spinning at 10,000 RPM, produces 96 cuts per inch, delivering an ultra-smooth finish that rivals industrial planers.
The planer features disposable, reversible knives that offer up to 30% longer life and are easy to replace. With extra-long infeed and outfeed tables offering 33-1/2 in. of material support, this benchtop tool reduces snipe and ensures better material stability. A turret depth stop allows users to quickly return to commonly used planing depths, and the four-column carriage lock helps to eliminate movement that causes snipe during operation.
A material removal gauge and oversized thickness scale make it easy to deliver precise, repeatable results on every pass.
