The Dewalt 734 is NOT the same as the 735!:eek: The 734 is a true lunch box planer - not at all the similar design to the 735.

Here is the 735 for comparison - http://www.factoryauthorizedoutlet.com/ ... laner-1769
At this site, the 735 is actually less expensive than the 734. The 735 is a good buy!

A New Discovery
Just noticed that the crank on the DW735 is stamped with the following information: One turn = 1/16th inch. Somehow I had missed that until today. I did check the manual, and sure enough, it does say that as well. Missed that too, I guess.
Gale's Law: The bigger the woodworking project, the less the mistakes show in any photo taken far enough away to show the entire project!
With that knowledge you can decrease the measure of a piece by 1/32" (half turn) or 1/64" (quarter turn), or something in-between.
I use the wheel to decrease a board, say 3/32" by rotating one and one half turns. Comes in handy when you want a board of a measurement that is not included in the stops. Is of particular use when edge planing stock.
A tip when edge planing - clamp face planed stock together (using a small clamp) and gang plane the boards.
