Does anyone know the difference between the DW733 and the DW734 - looks like the 734 is the new model and I think uses different blades but I have not been able to confirm that yet.
Amazon has the 734 priced at $276 (after $40 rebate) and I looked at a 733 yesterday used here in Raleigh for $150. Anyone know what the differences are? They look the same but must have been some reason for the model change.

The DW734 has a three cutter head rather than the 2 cutters on the DW733. The blades are dual sided and disposable, but cannot be resharpened. It is a little lighter in weight, too. Otherwise, the two models are very similar.

Also has automatic carriage lock to avoid snipe and is 13" wide.

So does anyone know if there is a review of the small planers on the market? Is the DW735 worth the extra money? I've also heard good things about the Makita and Ridgid planers - be great to see a review by one of the major publications. Anyone seen a comparison?

I did a lot of reaearch before I bought my 735 and it pretty much came top in all the reviews, but I am afraid I can't point you at one in particular.
If you are in my area you are very welcome to come and try it out.

Workbech magazine (April 2006) did a review of the Dewalt 735 along with a host of others, including the Ridgid, Delta, Hitachi, Jet, Woodtek etc.. The 735 won the Best Quality award and the Ridgid won Top Value.
If you like, I can scan and PM you a copy later this evening.
HTH,
Wayne
