Smooth as glass, fairly easy to set up and use for this amateur furniture maker
20 of 20 found this helpful So far I've used the 735x on Douglas Fir and Hard Maple. I'm impressed by the glass-like smooth surface it produces. I built a custom stand for it before it arrived and bolted it down. My planer now resides under my workbench and I roll it out when I need it. A future upgrade will be a five or six foot long sled that I know is perfectly flat to enable me to plane flat longer uneven boards. I have a glue gun, and I like the suggestion of using wedges and the glue gun to keep the workpiece in place on the sled. I've noticed a minor amount of snipe, but I reduced this by continuously feeding the machine with multiple boards of the same type. This way the rollers really only settle at the end of the planing session. I'm making furniture for personal/family use, this planer is the kind of shop upgrade I needed.
