DeWalt 735X Planer
The DeWalt 735X produced two faces perfectly parallel to one another, with surfaces far superior to what the other machines produced, thanks to its two feed speeds. At high speed, the planer works fast and leaves a smooth surface. But the slower, finish speed produces an almost glass-smooth surface. Knife changes are easy, with spacious access to the cutterhead from the top and a gib screw wrench that doubles as a magnetic lift to remove the knives. The 735X also has great dust collection, thanks to an internal blower that helps evacuate chips. The port has a 2-1/2-in.-dia. opening, but has a built-in adapter for 4-in.-dia. hoses. My only complaint is the location of the dust port. It’s on the outfeed side of the machine, and exits straight back. If you don’t pull the hose to the side, it interferes with material as it leaves the machine. The top is large and flat, so it’s a great place to set material in between passes through the machine.

Don't smoke, exercise, and watch your diet.
My ordinary saw blades do smoke on occasion - cherry is a favourite but sometimes the maple or oak. The smoke alarm goes daft and I have to put the fan on full blast whilst opening the garage door.
Those blades (all four of 'em) get plenty of exercise dismembering tree parts. I feed them lots but always they are hungry for more.
How does one put a saw blade on a proper diet? I suppose we must avoid the hardened aluminiums and also the steel things inside some planks. Some lads give them MDF. That can't be good for them.

As to the diamond saw blades - best to put them in a Large Safe where burglars can't easily filch them. Using them seems a bad idea too. I suppose one might make a nice crown, when someone discovers you are descended from royalty and so deserving of a glittery hat.

PS What else does Sandeep have to tell us? What of the ruby encrusted router bits, for example? Or the gold dovetail saws?
