What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Great planner. Works very well. Build seems sturdy and turret stop is great. Easy to use, easy to mount.
Tools for maintenance are included and fit neatly in the machine. Very accurate dial for precious cuts. Great quality tool for an excellent price on amazon.

I called for warranty and was shuffled off to another place who then shuffled me off to another place about 30 km away who then... Read More
Some time later i got a message from b&d who kindly sent replacement blades.
Packaging/appearance
Although extremely well packaged the courier still managed to damage the shipping box and broke the blower adapter.
It would appear the box was dropped from a significant height on the corner where the adapter was, there is no way that they we... Read More
All the packages are either tables with extra blades or tables with the stand.
Competitiveness
And much of the time you can buy at same price as the 735.
No, they don't come with helical cutters, but i couldn't care less, as the dewalt does fine work with traditional blades.
