I recently bought the DeWalt® 735 13” (33 cm) planer. I have wanted one for a long time and have been saving up over the last few years. It’s a beautiful machine and is one of the most popular planers ever made. And - for good reason! With a larger capacity, 4 support posts, 3 knife head, assisted fan chip ejection system, robust construction, and easy-to-access controls, the DeWalt® 735 has become the de facto “bridge” machine between smaller “breadbox” type planers and larger stationary commercial machines.

With the accessories available for the DeWalt® 735, this machine is even better. Add the infeed and outfeed tables, stand, and even a digital thickness gauge and a helix cutter head, and WOW! In other episodes, we’ll show you the setup of the machine and we’ll put it through the paces and let you see how well it performs. We’ve also purchased a Byrd Tools Shelix cutter head, and in another video, we’ll show you the installation of the head and the difference in sound levels between the standard and helical heads.

For today, we’ll show you the unboxing and assembly of the DeWalt® DW7350 Mobile Planer Stand as well as give you the dimensions of the stand, including the space under the top that could be used to install a shop-made drawer set. We’ll also show you the installation of the planer onto the stand.

To complete the assembly of this unit, you’ll need a 13 mm open-end wrench, a 13 mm socket and ratchet, a medium crosshead screwdriver, and safety glasses. To assure you don’t scratch the pieces as you assemble them, you can place a packing blanket on your work surface. Additionally, you can use a silver marking pen to designate the top and bottom surfaces of the pieces, as we as having a mechanic’s magnetic bowl on hand to keep bolts, washers, and nuts together as you use them. There are NO spares supplied with the unit, so be careful not to lose any of the fasteners as you proceed with assembly.

The DeWalt® DW7350 mobile stand has the top pre-drilled to allow installation of 3 different DeWalt® planers: DW733, DW734, and DW735.

STAND DIMENSIONS

The dimensions of the stand are 27-¼” (69 cm) deep, 21-¼” (54 cm) wide, and 29-¼” (74 cm) tall. The wheels add a bit of width to the base, with the dimension from the outer wheel to the opposite outer wheel being 25-¼” (64 cm). The top itself is 24” (61 cm) deep by 21”(53 cm) wide.

How you install the pivot wheel assembly also affects the “footprint” of the unit. If you assemble it the way we did, the pedal doesn’t extend outside the bottom frame of the unit. This reduces the risk of a trip or a stubbed toe, but it does make it a bit more inconvenient to raise and lower the unit for rolling around or making the unit stationary. That’s because the pedal can’t be easily reached directly “head-on”, but rather from the side.

As it turned out when the stand was put to use, and a home for the tool was set in the shop, we changed the pedal to be outside the bottom frame. It is much easier to use, and it didn't turn out to be in the aisle.

Here’s another feature you may like about this mobile stand. There is a medium gauge shelf about 10” below the under edges of the top frame rails. This can be used as open storage as is or could be further utilized with a shop-made drawer or toolbox setup. The opening to place it all in is 24” (61 cm) deep, 10-½” (27 cm) high, and 14-¾” (37 cm) wide.
