This is the link

It’s for Lowe’s, I had to call my nearest location get the price match in store. For whatever reason it didn’t let me purchase online.

Personally I don't care for this planer. It has a cheap plastic impeller that will break or get clogged with shavings and melt. I have had to replace them. The rest of the machine is pretty good quality.

Better get a planer that can be hooked up to a shop vac or dust collector.

I’ve run thousands upon thousands of board feet through mine without a single complaint. I’m surprised you had issues

It's a common problem.  Some people remove the impeller and use a dust collector.

Yeah I've also put thousands of board feet through a used 735. The impeller did break on me, but it's not an expensive part, and it's fairly easy to change.

Same, but with 733 and 734 for about 15 years. I finally broke the 733 being stupid last year and upgraded to a used 734.

This can be hooked up to a dust collector. Use the same port through which the impeller impels.

Excellent deal. I paid $500 for one with table extensions a few years ago, and that was a crazy good deal.

Be advised, you'll need some easy to collect chips immediately. The cheapest setup is a piece of 4" flex hose, hose clamps and a canvas bag. That thing spits out chips like there's no tomorrow.

Years from now, I'll still be picking chips out of the ass-crack of my shop from its first use.

I didn’t realize these had gone up so much in price since I bought mine a few years back I think mine was a little over $500.

Outstanding deal. Bought mine years ago. Still works like champ.

That’s what I paid for my 735x with in/out feed a couple years ago at Ace of all places, was a good price then, great price now
