Cynthia well done and welcome to the DW735 club.
I would unpack that baby rather quickly and check it has no transportation damage.
I cannot remember who had a case of his just recently on our forum so check it out underneath for cracks etc very carefully and take pictures.
Did you get the tables for infeed and outfeed?
What are your plans for the chip exit ? Not sure if it was standard of what but mine came with a flex hose connected to a piece of material that allows it to be tied to a garbage can. Just ensures that the chips are deposited into the garbage can. Its no dust prevention device. But its better than nothing because the chips are sprayed out of this unit by the internal fan. Unlike say a jointer where they use gravity and it just falls out of the lower chute.
Cynthia, I built one that is the same size as the planer, that way it doesn't become a collecting point 4 other stuff.
As been said, Welcome to the Club!!!
You'll like that planer for sure.
If you want a genuine 735 planer stand let me know, I'm going to be getting rid of mine. It's really a nice stand, but I need to put mine on a flip top so I can store it under a cabinet I've built. I'll even make you a great deal on it...
A little bored are we Darren
Apparently he knows something about this planer that I don't? Perhaps he's picturing the chips flying in all directions and me in my jammies with pink bunny slippers?
cynthia, this was my use what I had at the time, and it collected all the chips as long as I kept a few clamps holding that lid on tight.
Its going to be quite an experience to run through a very rough piece of lumber and get a beautiful smooth board out of it.
