All three machines are fairly well built and a clear step up from cheaper benchtop planers. These designs have been on the market for a long time (20+ years for the Makita and DeWalt), without any major changes, so they’ve proven their reliability. Although all three share the same basic design, there are some noticeable differences. The Makita is quite a bit lighter and smaller than the other two. It weighs only 27 kg, compared to the 35 kg of the Metabo and the 33.8 kg of the DeWalt. It weighs 85 pounds, making it sturdy and stable without removing the ability to transport it if necessary.

If the tool is faulty within 30 days of buying it, we will arrange for its collection at no cost to you and supply a replacement. The advantages of lunchbox planers are their small size and very small footprint, which combined with relatively low weight allows you to move them around easily. You can also store them away under a workbench, which is nice in a small workshop. Everyone wants to buy these machines because they want to get the perfect result they can’t achieve with hand tools or save their time. That’s why this model features a fast knife change so that you can change the knife within a short time of 10 minutes. However, as you can see from the images, the DW735 has quite a different design. It is engineered more like a stationary planer, built around four threaded rods over which the head moves up and down. Build Quality: DW735 is a real workhorse There are also some downsides to the Makita’s smaller size. It has less width capacity, of only 304 mm (12 inches), compared to the 330 mm (13 inches) for the DH 330 and 317 mm for the DeWalt.

Regularly clean the machine to remove dust and debris buildup. When cleaning the machine, apply paste wax to the table as needed. Despite the compact design, it works well for all types of woods. The quality of the built-in material is excellent, which makes this product reliable and durable. Loaded up with a big 1,800 Watt motor, the blades spin to an impressive 12,000 rpm. This fast-moving planer can take off up to 3 mm of material per pass, and each blade is double-sided, so you get twice the life out of them. The integrated dust collection port is ideally placed too. The machine offers plenty of easy operation and includes only the basics, so it does not bog users down with too many extra features.

We know choosing any one product from the two best options is an arduous task. Without it, you can’t get the product. DeWalt DW733 and Makita 2012NB are both best and famous for their quality and performance. Still, the two of them have distinct features, but DeWalt DW733 wins for it.

Problem 1. The imported DW735 is 120V, & in Europe the standard voltage is 240V!, it is possible to buy a transformer to drop the voltage down to 110V, but as the voltage is slightly lower than USA spec, the DW735 won’t be running at optimum RPM. DeWalt, a famous American company, was founded in 1924. It’s a 97-year-old brand known for its high-quality power tools. This means you can rely on DeWalt tools because of their durability and quality. Another main upgrade of the DW735 compared to the DW733 and DW734. A common complaint about the two lunchbox planers is that the dust collection shoot tends to clog up. The biggest advantage of disposable blades is that they are much easier to set up and replace. You don’t need to manually adjust their process, which can be an extremely tedious process for sharpenable blades. If you’re looking for a machine that can plane 2mm depth, then DeWalt DW733 is for you. Because most of the devices only offer 6mm depth. You can easily use this machine for all small woodpiles.
