New Toy

What, it doesn't come with those handy magnetic knife-setting gauges? That's
it, I stickin' to my 733, which was easily re-bladed. Check out "The Care and
Maintenance of Shop Tools" by John White. Tom>

Someday, it'll all be over....

Try www.dewalt.com and set up an account (its free) which will allow you
into the technical area where they have the manuals, troubleshooting
sections and alignment / repair procedures. I just used it a couple of
weeks ago and they even have videos you can view on-line. They had my
planer (DW733) but I don't know if they have the 734 or 735 on-line as yet.
