I have finally got a chance to try out my 735 in finishing mode. When I
change it over I think I should hear a difference in speed. Of course the
motor is still running at the same RPM, but shouldn't I hear a difference in
rotor speed? This is my first planer and I saved up for sometime to buy the
Delta, but then saw the dewalt and waited some more to buy it. In the
dimensioning mode it works great. But was just testing it with pine and soft
wood. I just received some free brazilian cherry (about 20 bf, small gloat)
and really wanted to show off the features. But I don't notice a difference.

I have had mine for some time now. I have never heard a difference in speed. What you want to look for is the speed at which the
work piece travels thru the planer. It moves slower on finishing (setting 1) than on dimensioning (2). Otherwise, the knives run
at the same speed.

The feed rate does change. The cherry does give it a go. Now to find a
project. I just tried a 10" wide piece of oak. I got some from a friend in
Pa. she has a barn and buys her wood from a Amish farmer. She uses the oak
in her barn. It looks great. Now to find a project worthy of the wood.

The feed rate should be noticeably slower though.

On my Delta, the sound does not change, only the feed rate. Does the board
go through slower?
The Brazilian cherry will give the blades a good workout. Tough stuff.

I think the difference is in feet per minute feed rate IIRC

ok, it does do that. And I did notice that hard wood is diiferent compared
to soft. I'm going to try some oak now. I've had some oak (100 bf, free of
course) drying for some time now. And it's ready to work. I'll give it a
try. Thanks again.
