A small gloat

A couple of weeks ago, traveled to the Woodworking Show at Orange
County Fairgrounds with a fellow wood worker. We both had Friday off
so thought we would beat the weekend crowd. Having gotten the
Craftsman 100 table saw restored and tuned, thought a planer would be a
nice addition to the shop. Was looking at and lusting after the DeWalt
735, they had a package with stand, dust hood and extra knives that was
about $600. Wandered the show and kept finding my self back at that
display. While standing there wondering how to explain spending the
money to SHMBO, another show visitor said he had a 733 used very little
and would sell it for $150.00 so he could buy the newer model. When he
offered to deliver it, I said bring it home. Looks brand new, planes
like a champ and even had the dust hood attached. Now I find I want to
go stand by bigger tools a lot ;-). David

Ya done good there. The guy that went for the 735 will have to buy new
blades more often. Tom

Nice catch on that set up line, I am laughing so hard I almost can't
type.

Just a quick note: I have a 733 myself and I'm very happy with it. I
don't get out to the shop nearly as often as I'd like, but when I do
I'm prone to run kiln dried white or red oak through it, and it's held
up very well.

I bought the 733 when the 735 came out and I've run a LOT of boards
through it. Now it's time to put on the spare set of knives and get the
originals sharpened, and I can't think of a reason I'd want the 735.

Even if I DID spend a hundred bucks more than you did. You suck.

But I got a DW screwdriver thrown in. I didn't like that driver when I
first used it. Too big for a powered screwdriver, too small for a
drill. It wasn't until I realized I was grabbing it ever time I need to
do deck or fencing that I began to think I might have been a little
hasty.

But you still suck.
Oh, and if you don't have a spare set of knives, get some quick.
They're getting hard to find already. And if that dust hood is plastic,
see if you can get the new model.

I just picked up a "used once" 733 for $200. You did better than I did.
