  Your two videos are outstanding. Very little in the way of other serious videos on this planer while there are 1,000s on the DW735. Great explanations, demonstrations and presentation. I am planning a smaller shop in about a year and this video sealed my decision on choice of thickness planer. Oliver should send you $78,000. Thanks.

  Just got mine. Love it. Two complaints (minor) No instructions how to use the material removal gauge on the front of the cutting base. The dust chute must be removed to fold it up for storage. The thumb screws aren't a huge imposition and I think can rig up a quick connect system (maybe magnets) but I think that could be better for the price.

  @frankvucolo624921 күн бұрын

  Good for you, William. It is a joy to use. I did notice that about the dust port (after the review) and it is inconvenient taking it off if you need to fold it up to store (as I do.) I swapped out the thumb screws for hex head cap screws. I keep a dedicated ball driver with the planer now for fast swap out of the port. Not ideal, for sure. But manageable.

  I have the DeWalt 735 and respect it tho it’s super loud with the knives. Your sharing of info on the oliver made the case for me and I perhaps got fortunate at Woodcraft as it had one. I am enjoying it immensely. The DRO did not work and they promptly sent me a new one (Oliver) with no hassle. Just a tip for anyone having to change their DRO, take the metal stem off the planer to insert the new one. Feed the top of the stem through the bottom of the Wixey as it is difficult to put the DRO on from the stem bottom while still attached to the planer. I called Oliver for advice as I did not want to force it on. I think they should include that advice, especially when replacing that part. I should sell the 735 but I do like that planer as well. Thanks again for both reviews.

  The technique of joining the two bookmatched sections was great to watch. I wonder how much longer it would take to cut the sides off neatly - it looks as if your 3/8" will be barely enough in the bottom left corner where the veneer has torn along the edge....

  I use 99% isopropyl alcohol, which also dissolves shellac well. I crushed all the shellac flakes by a rolling pin before adding alcohol and keep stirring when I add alcohol. I found orange / garnet shellac harder to dissolve and the color is a bit uneven. I have to filter them before use.

  Thank you so much for this informative video. It's got me feeling inspired. Quick question for you. Would this method be suitable for veneering a 10" radius with raw quarter sawn oak? Also what would you recommend for thickness of veneer? I'm making the veneer myself;).

• 
  @frankvucolo62494 ай бұрын

  Great question, and the answer is yes. That said, I have not personally done a radius of that size. I have done a radius of around 18” and larger (think bow front tables.) so the challenge would be to get good enough adhesion on the first part as you wrap the substrate and before the glue on the rest of the surface dries. You may have to refresh/reheat the glue a couple of times as you work around to re-liquify it (just brush on more hot glue like I did when I refreshed the seam.) This method was around since the time when all veneers had to be cut by hand. So thick veneer is no problem. That said, thicker veneer will have more spring back as you wrap your substrate and will be harder to get down. I’d shoot for no more than 1/32” if you can. If you can get some commercially available quarter sawn oak veneer, it would be around 1/50” and might be your best option. Don’t know how much you need, but it would be fairly inexpensive. Hope this is helpful. Good luck with your project!

  After about a year of considering on planer choice, this is the video that did it for me. It's finally time to stop going into work for their planer! Excellent review. I would consider cutting the bass frequencies and some sort of a volume limiter if that's something within your production toolset. The bass was a bit boomy/farty/whatever the kids are calling it. Additionally, when you were running the planer with the dust collection the volume level broke one of the cats and had me needing to make a volume adjustment. Not a big deal, if not, as broken cats are always funny. Thanks for this video.

  I've had my (wheeled) HSS724 for 7 years now and I love it. Good as new. Just keep the chute & cables lubed / protected and they'll never fail. Oil change & spark plug change once a year. Biggest tip I can give you is install an impeller kit, which closes the gap between impeller end and impeller housing, eliminating clogs. I made my own kit from bailer belting (Tractor Supply) bolted through the 3 impeller ends. I don't think Honda power equipment can be beaten. I live in the country and rely on this stuff and they've never ler me down. Pricey but dependable. Perhaps the biggest tip is to make sure to run the engine out of fuel by turning the fuel lever to 'off' after each session. Running the carb dry prevents any kind of fuel gunk build up. I learnt this one the hard way but since I've done this I've never had any issues with any of my Honda power equip[ment in over 10 years.Enjoy your work of art!

  Ran into this nightmare when residing house. Company that we hired did not care and were not primarily siding. We have several different sized intrusions in house. Lights, outlets, different air vents, garden water hoses spigots, air conditioning, and external electric boxes for power and internet. They did a garbage job and I had to go through and redo. I looked at neighbors houses to see what best looking solutions were. Like you I disliked the plastic box plate things. I just used blocks of wood and painted to seal them from elements.

In the spring, I plan to go around and do dryer vent, range hood vent, outlet boxes and gas pipe, too.
