In this video I touch base on how to adjust the height of the leadscrews on the DW735 planer, as well as the preload/anti-backlash system. If you have to do serious maintenance on your planer, taking these screws out may be a necessity and getting them back in and adjusted properly can be a pain.
Not intended for high production value, just hoped to relay the information while the planer was at that point in repair and the info was fresh in my mind.
If anything needs clarification, please comment below.

Thanks for the help Christopher! As far as I can find you are the only video that shows how to retime the screws.

You're very welcome! I love the idea of being able to save somebody 5 -10 hours of their life by just taking what I learned and recording it! Happy holidays, friend.

I had two problems: uneven planing thickness across the width of the bed, and a very hard-turning height adjustment wheel. Of all the videos I found, only this one has any explanation of how to adjust the carriage height. That simple adjustment solved both my problems. Thank you for this video.

Sprocket on one of the posts missing a couple teeth. Any suggestions on removing old sprocket? Thanks!

@MrTheduke504 9 месяцев назад

I'm stuck. Planer squeals when height raised, but quiet when lowering. - have already adjusted the height of 4 corners (without removing bottom screws by just pulling the chain against each sprocket). - Chain appears to have temporary slack when going from lowering to raising chasis but then tightens back up What do i do? - do i remove bottom chassis 6mm hex bolts, drop height and adjust? - do i need dry lube for vertical shafts? - is there a trick to getting the chain tensioned correctly - Is there something else i'm missing?

Try some silicone spray on the posts working them top to bottom.... I just went through mine after not being able to raise or lower the chassis......inside was packed with sawdust......in almost 20 years of owning it I have never had this happen.....Pull the top cover and see if it's loaded with sawdust....if it is clean as much out as you can then pull the cover......mine also squealed as the chassis reached the top but not on the way down.....after I cleaned and lubed the posts all is clean and quiet and works like new......

I bought this planer at home Depot online. I was very disappointed with the condition of the packaging. The box looked like it was just tossed around with no regards of care. When I opened the box, the cast aluminum base was cracked. I also discovered the depth adjustment crank is VERY HARD to raise and lower the cutter head. I hear a popping sound after turning the depth adjustment crank several rotations. Had anyone had this issue with a new out of the box DeWalt 735 planer?

@christopherverkuilen8388 4 года назад

I have not, and this sounds like you should return it for a new item.

Same problem as some have mentioned. Very time consuming trouble shooting,,,,,,,,ESPECIALLY for the price of this planer.

I Christophe I fitted the lower nut with 8 holes and the spring. An adjustment of 5 millimeters, for the 4 corner posts. But when I raise and lower the planer platform the tension is hard. it goes up and down but I have to force it to do it. What should I do to make the height crank easier to turn as I see in your video? Thank you very much for your help, From Quebec, Canada

@christopherverkuilen8388 2 года назад

Check to make sure there is no debris or wood dust on your ball scres first. If your ball screws are an uneven height that could cause the problem also

Thanks for this video. My 735 is brand new (maybe 2 hrs. run time) I've noticed that there is play in the front left side. So when i feed in a board, it raises slightly on that corner. Is there a way to tighten the upper assembly? I took the two bolts out of the lower nut and tightened it one hole, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm assuming i just tightened the spring tension. Thanks in advance for any help.

@christopherverkuilen8388 4 года назад

I'd definitely take it in for service under warranty if at all possible, this can be quite time consuming. Likely you'd want to increase preload by unscrewing the allen screws on the underside of the offending nut, rotate the lower half of that nut 2-3 holes clockwise, then replace the allen screws. If that doesn't work the post may be loose in the base and flipping it over and tightening the bolt on the bottom of the lead screw might help.

@@christopherverkuilen8388 thanks! I took it back to Lowes and exchanged it for a new one. That problem is resoved, but the new on is sniping. Any chance there is a way to remedy this problem?

@christopherverkuilen8388 4 года назад

@@gabedirmeyer692 a few things help: I apply slight upward pressure on the board as it's pulled into and ejected out of the planer. It helps negate gravity pulling the board down and using the roller as a fulcrum point to push the leading/trailing end into the cutter. Also - a board that is warped/twisted can cause this. Jointing the board or using a planer sled can help this. Lastly - use and adjust your infeed/outfeed tables. They're adjusted with eccentric screws to adjust height/angle. Alternatively, longer infeed/outfeed tables could be made and would be desirable. Hope this helps.

If I take my chain off, the main post with the wheel is still hard to turn. Any tips how to fix? Always has been really hard to raise and lower and trying to correct it. This is the only video that talks about adjusting this but I don’t understand most of the description.

Hey there I've got a 735 that wont turn up or down. I took it apart and the gears that the chain rides on wont spin. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Kevin

@christopherverkuilen8388 4 года назад

Have you cleaned the ball screws and re-assembled the backlash-free nuts as displayed in the video?

@CycleTuber 7 месяцев назад

Check the chain for compacted sawdust and the teeth on the sprockets.....I just did this and used one of those stainless steel toothbrushes to clean every sprocket and chain link.....took hours to get it all cleaned up....silicone spray worked wonders on the posts..
