Got 46 frames built today... ONLY about 100 more to go on this run

Picked up this nice little DW735x today for $400! And, it's a type 1, not 12, so Taiwanese and not Chinese built. Like new, with the stand. This will make truing up some lumber a lot easier and thusly assembly more enjoyable, and improve quality.

Cleaned and waxed the tables, and adjusted them. No snipe. Rock solid unit!

Congratulations on a great score!

Does it have knives or the carbide cutters?

All the best,

Peter

Three knife head, two feed speeds, auto carriage lock, came with a new set of blades. There is a helical available, but that is down the road

Going to flip the blades today and clean the rollers. I don't think the previous owner did anything aside from plug it in

Check out this pollen

Flipped the blades on the planer, cleaned the rollers with mineral spirits, and adjusted the table a little more. Wow, those blades were dull! Sounds and cuts so much better!

Specifically, why would bees store pollen? Thought honey was the primary food storage...
