Excellent Stand - Review written on June 25, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

This stand arrived quickly and in good shape. The instructions were complete and, while not very user friendly, were able to be deciphered with a little effort. The stand is solid, heavy and large enough to do its job well. The packaging was well padded and secure. The only hiccup I experienced was that one nut was missing from the packaging; there were enough but one was the wrong size. I went to a local hardware store to get a replacement and everything went together smoothly.
I would very much recommend getting the Folding Table Extensions,(DW 7351), for this planer as they make the entire unit more stable and eliminate a great deal of the problems associated with snipe.[[ASIN:B0000CCXUA DEWALT DW7351 Folding Table for DW735 Planer]

The Dewalt product is high quality as expected at a good price from Amazon.com. The original product was delivered missing parts due to poor handling by UPS. The item was delivered in a UPS box 4 times the size of the original box and missing parts. Amazon quickly sent me another item with a promise to give me a break on the price in the form of a 20% credit to my account. The second unit arrived in great shape and works well. Thanks Amazon.

I like the way this table allows me to move the planer around my shop as needed. It is sturdy, and the drop down wheels provide just the right amount of lift to let it roll. I can't imagine building one from scratch that would be any better.

I purchased this to be modified to work with the Compucarve CNC wood carving system as a downdraft table. It worked better than I expected. Cut a slot in the MDF top and added a dust collector, attached the machine to the top and that was all there was to it!! Perfect combination. Thanks Dewalt.

Good stand, horrible instructions - Review written on May 04, 2008
* * * *
Rating: 4 out of 5

Heed the advice of numerous other reviews and throw the instructions away! They were written by a technical writer who probably has a hard time with shoe laces. Some of the instructions are simply topologically impossible. Once you figure it out on you own, it goes together fairly quickly. Pieces are milled very accurately and nothing was missing from the hardware package. I might have designed the leg-base attachment differently to be a bit more substantial, but generally it's strong and moves easily around ths shop. But shame on DeWalt for not updating their instructions - a good writer could fix this in a couple hours, including detailed photos.

Even the instructions aren't that bad - at least they are in clear English. I just got the table today, but it seems very sturdy, rolls smoothly, and the parts fit perfectly. If you are putting one together, here are some corrections to the instructions.

1) The packing list says the rubber feet come installed. They don't and you have to figure out how to install them yourself. No big deal once you realize that the parts are in one of the plastic bags and you don't have to go through customer service to get them.
2) They say you need 13mm combination and socket wrenches. You want a 14mm combination and 13mm socket.
3) Take a good look at the orientation of the pre-assembled base in the drawing. Without those feet, it's not obvious which way is up until you start installing the legs.
4) The first time they mention washers (as opposed to lock washers) they really mean lock washers. Trust the part letters, not the text. Everywhere else it was correct.
5) In several places the instructions describe a part as tubular when it is really an angle or "L" shape. It made me wonder if they changed the design to use cheaper but less rigid parts. Still, it seems plenty strong as is.
6) I assembled everything except the lower shelf using the instructions without taking them out of the protective bag. Then it turned out that the shelf was described on a separate sheet which starts with something like "before installing the MDF top". Oops - fortunately, you can fit it in without removing the top.

Still 5 stars - if you can handle a planer you can handle a few instructions flaws. This base will make it possible to get full use from the planer in a shop where I can't afford the space for a permanent location. At one point I intended to keep the planer on a shelf when not in use, but when I realized the weight (almost 100 pounds) I knew that a rolling support was mandatory.

I wanted a heavy-duty stand for my Ryobi AP-10 planer, and later for my new DeWalt DW735 planer, that would be rugged enough for planer operations yet portable enough so I can move it easily around my basement shop. The DeWalt DW7350 more than satisfied my requirements. I'm very pleased with the heavy-duty construction of the legs and cross pieces, and the wheels allow the unit to move only when I want it to. The top, while pre-drilled for the DeWalt planers, easily accommodated my Ryobi planer. All I needed to do was drill four holes and buy four inexpensive hex bolts.

The assembly time took me about 45 minutes and the instructions were simple and straight forward. Most importantly, all the small parts were in thick plastic bags so nothing could get lost.

A few weeks later, when I replaced my Ryobi with the DW735 planer, I just set the planer over the pre-drilled holes and used the attachment hardware that came included with the planer stand. Another plus which I neglected to mention earlier is that the planer stand includes a shelf that comes in very handy for storage.

I've always liked DeWalt products (along with those from Bosch & Porter-Cable) and have a variety of bright yellow tools in my workshop. All in all, the DeWalt planer stand is an excellent and especially well made unit. I would recommend this planer stand to anyone who needs a stable, portable, and trouble-free base for their planer or other bench-top tools.

Like most other reviewers, I am really impressed with this product. This is the second DeWalt stand I have purchased - the other was for my DeWalt scroll saw - DW7880 which reflects the same quality as the DW7350. Looks like DeWalt updated the instructions and did away with the reference to 1/2" tools. They now recommend that you use 13mm openend wrench and a 13mm socket. I guess they need to update them again because while all the nuts are indeed 13mm (all 40 of them), the heads of the shoulder and hex bolts are now 14mm (9/16") - at least the ones I got were.

I HIGHLY recommend that anyone puting this stand together find Dean French's Amazon review and follow his suggestion for mounting the pivot wheel on the inside, then turning around the foot petal!
A mobile base with many uses. - Review written on January 16, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

Purchased at a special price, the cart assembled easily, and will make a handy addition to my home workshop. I don't own a Dewalt planer, but the product will lend itself to holding at the ready fixtures and components for my Shopsmith. Some of these components are hard to store on fixed shelving, so by adapting some brackets to the top of the unit, I can have access on all four sides by easily turning the unit. The unit is rigid enough to mount other benchtop type powertools like a small drillpress. The unit also came with a light shelf that isn't pictured but mounts halfway below the top, adding additional storage. Overall, the unit will exceed my expectations, and was easily worth what I paid.
I'm sure it would also work just fine for what it was intended to do!

Very stable table with a good heavy feel. Easy to assemble. The table can be awkward to pull backwards when using the mobile base's jack wheel attached underneath the table. Otherwise, the table moves fine considering the the overall weight of the table, the planer and the optional folding table extensions.

Assembles very easily. However, metric tools are required: 13mm wrench and or socket. Foot pedal is in the way when assembled on the outboard side of the stand. Foot pedal is hard to reach with your foot if assembled on the inboard side of the stand. Use the inboard assembly and change the pedal so that the foot board pivots on the opposite end makes this pedal useful and the stand even better.

This is a great product, and @ $99.99 at Amazon is the best buy out there.
The closest prices any where else I could find were $50.00 more.
Now for the product itself. Contrary to some of the reviews, and to give them credit it's quite possible the instructions have been rewritten, I had no trouble with assembly. All the parts were there and individually bagged, all the holes were drilled, and everything lined up. Like a previous reviewer stated there are no extra nuts & bolts so DON'T LOSE ONE. I assembled it on top of a 2' by 3' scrap piece of 3/4" plywood screwed to 2 2X4's laying across a pair of sawhorses. That got it up to eye level and a comfortable working position. After assembly of all the parts hand tightened only, I went back and tightened with a socket & wrench. I was not at all concerned about the durability of the MDF top because as previously stated, the Planer mounting holes are positioned almost directly above the steel legs of the frame, and the bolts, aided by close to 100 lbs of gravity keep it from wandering. It's not like it's suspended from that piece of MDF, just be aware that anyone with a wrench can tighten a bolt in MDF to the point that it pulls through.
Why not build my own stand? The collapsible third wheel that's why. You just step on the foot lever to raise it off the front support posts and roll it out of the way. When you need it again just roll it out, lower it on the two front feet and you're ready to go. That three wheel assembly is the thing that makes it worth it and it works GREAT!

This stand makes my planer a joy to use. I bought the 735 and for a month I used my Black and Decker Workmate as a stand. However moving the planer on/off the stand or just dragging the whole stand around when the planer was clamped to it quickly became a chore. I broke down and bought this stand and have not regretted it since.

I bought mine about three weeks ago. Assembly is not hard. The base comes pre-assembled. The rest of the components: swivel caster, legs, top rails, mid-rails, MDF top, and mid-shelf you have to assemble. I did not find the instructions difficult. I read through them, dry-fit what I could and had the stand assembled in about 40 minutes. All bolts and nuts were included and I don't believe I had any left over. The longest part was deciding if I wanted to mount the swivel caster towards the center or out. Eventually I choose to mount it facing out. It sticks out a bit and I suppose it could be a trip hazard, but it seemed as if mounting it in would make it too cumbersome to raise and lower the stand. It is not shown in the picture, but there is a metal shelf included as others have mentioned that sits about mid-way between the legs.

Once assembled I attached my 735. The stand comes with the bolts, washers, and nuts needed for this. The top was pre-drilled for it as well as the 734 (maybe the 733 too) and it is was simply a matter of lining everything up. Once everything was assembled and the planer mounted I took it for a spin around my garage floor. It rolled smoothly and easily passed over the seams in the floor. It is easy to raise and lower with the foot pedal and more important, easy to control as it is lowered so that it doesn't slam down uncontrollably. The two feet can be adjusted for level if needed.

I like this stand so much that I am considering buying another or two for some of my other tools to mount them on. It moves effortlessly and it is so nice to be able to move my planer around to where I need it. It makes me want to use the planer more now that the inconvenience of setup and tear down has been taken away.

Like other readers, I was hesitant about spending the money on this stand but after seeing how heavy my Delta 13" planer was and how much it would cost later to get a stand + wheels, I decided to buy this one. This stand is solid! I don't have much room in my shop so the wheels are perfect to move it out of the way. The only drawback is the wheel you use to set it down or up (to move it). It's easier to install it on the outside but then it's easy for you to trip on it if you are not careful. This, however, is also a problem in many other mobile bases.

After looking at several different stands and tables for Thickness Planers, I chose the DeWalt DW7350. I preferred this one over the Delta offerings even though the thickness planer I purchased was the 13 inch Delta. The package arrived in good shape, with the assembly instructions quite easy to follow. It took about 45 Minutes to assemble. The stand moves easily, is very sturdy, and is very solid when the planer is being used.

Since the mounting holes on the table surface are for DeWalt planers, I had to locate and drill New Mounting holes in the table to accept the mounting locations for my Delta Planer.

This is a very good product.

This table is a perfect fit for the DeWalt "DW735" 13-inch planer... which it should be, since it's sold as THE table for it. All too often though, you buy something that's advertised as the perfect companion for object X - and it isn't even close. No such problem with this item.

Table comes disassembled, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Husband had it together in about 30 minutes and ready to bolt the planer to it. Has pre-drilled mounting holes for the DW735 planer as well as the DW734 (12 1/2-inch planer).

The stand moves VERY smoothly with the planer bolted to the top. You can mount the moveable caster either inside the stand frame, or outside of it. Inside it would definitely be out of the way, but is harder to get to... He mounted it facing out and hasn't had any problem with it getting in his way.

His woodshop is our 2-car garage, so all his tools need to be very mobile. This table definitely fills the bill for moving the planer around easily. In fact, now he wants one for a benchtop spindle sander!

Very solid stand which comes with a middle shelf not shown in the picture. Easy to assemble and has pre-drilled holes for mounting various planers. I like the three wheel design that lets you lift the stand up with a push of your foot. When you get the planer where you want it, you let the stand down again and it stays put.
