DeWalt DW735 / DW735X Dimensions, Weight and Storage Footprint

Here are the DeWalt DW735 dimensions in short: the 13-in thickness planer measures about 24 x 22 in (61 x 56 cm) at the base and stands about 18–19 in (46–48 cm) tall without its stand, and it weighs about 92 lb (42 kg). The DW735X is the same planer bundled with folding infeed/outfeed tables and a spare set of knives, so its footprint grows only when the tables are down. Sources disagree on the exact height and on how much support the tables add. The table below shows each figure and where it came from, checked on 13 Nov 2026.

DW735 / DW735X specifications

Sources: DeWalt DW735 instruction manual, DeWalt DW735X product page, Home Depot DW735, Tractor Supply DW735X.

DeWalt’s own pages list capacities but, as of our check, no overall dimensions or weight. That’s why the size and weight rows come from retailers.

Where the sources disagree

Height: 18.1 vs. 18.75 vs. 21.75 in. The 18.1 and 18.75 figures are for the bare DW735. The 21.75-in figure is for the DW735X, and the most likely reason for the difference is the folded tables standing up on the sides, but no source says so. If height matters (for example, storing it under a bench), measure your own unit with the crank handle and tables in their storage position.

Weight: 92 lb vs. 80 lb. A widely copied product description says the planer “weighs 80 pounds” and has a “width capacity of 12-1/2 inches.” Those numbers match DeWalt’s smaller DW734 (12-1/2 in), not the DW735 (13 in), so treat any DW735 listing that says 80 lb with suspicion. Retailer spec tables consistently list about 92 lb.

Table support: “33-1/2 in.” The same copied description says the infeed and outfeed tables give “33-1/2 inches of material support.” That figure also appears in a 2026 trade catalog for the DW734’s table length. DeWalt’s DW735X page doesn’t state a figure. One answer in the Home Depot Q&A describes the tables as 9 x 13 in flip-ups; if that’s right and the base is 19-3/4 in in the feed direction, total support would be roughly 38 in. Neither number is confirmed by DeWalt. Measure before you plan a tight space around it.

Width vs. depth. Retailers list 22 in “wide” and 24 in “deep” without saying which axis is the feed direction. DeWalt describes a 19-3/4 in base but doesn’t say which way it’s measured. Plan for about 24 in in both directions and you won’t be caught out.

Storage footprint vs. working footprint

A planer has two footprints, and in a shared garage the second one is the problem.

Storage mode: about 24 x 22 in (61 x 56 cm) of shelf or cart, 18–22 in (46–56 cm) tall depending on version, and 92 lb on whatever holds it. Tables folded, crank handle in its stored position.

Working mode: the planer plus the board in front of it and the board behind it. DeWalt’s manual says to always place the planer with proper clearance on the outfeed side so the workpiece can’t pinch or bind against an obstacle. For a 6-ft (183 cm) board, that means roughly 6 ft of clear space on each side of the planer, so a lane about 14–15 ft (4.3–4.6 m) long. With 8-ft stock, about 18–19 ft. Roller stands or a bench at table height on the outfeed side help with long boards.

Two other details from the manual matter for small shops:

• Mounting: DeWalt says to always mount the planer firmly, and for portability it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2 in (12.7 mm) or thicker plywood, then clamped down. That’s a common small-shop setup: planer on a plywood base, base clamped to a bench when in use.
• Dust: the manual doesn’t recommend connecting a shop vacuum to the DW735, because most vacuums can’t keep up with the volume of chips and the hose can clog. Plan for a dust collector, a chip separator, or at least a lot of sweeping. In a garage with a car, chips go everywhere.

The manual also warns against planing very short pieces (it cites 12 in / 305 mm), so you’ll have to cut parts to length after planing, not before.

The DeWalt DW7350 mobile planer stand

DeWalt’s own stand for the DW733, DW734 and DW735 has an integrated mobile base: a foot pedal lifts it onto its wheels to roll, and drops it onto its feet to work.

Sources: DeWalt DW7350 manual, Home Depot DW7350, The Power Tool Store, Tractor Supply.

One discrepancy worth knowing: the DW7350 manual says the stand supports up to 300 lb, while answers posted as “DewaltProductExpert” on the Home Depot listing say about 92 lb. The manual is the primary source; the Q&A answer may simply be quoting the planer’s weight. Either way, a DW735 at about 92 lb is within the manual’s rating.

Height check: the planer’s bed sits a few inches above its own base, so on a 29-1/2 to 30 in stand the bed lands somewhat above 30 in. We couldn’t find a published figure for the bed height, so measure your setup before you build a bench or roller stand to match it.

The manual also cautions that the stand can tip if the wheels stop suddenly while it’s rolling, and that you should lower it onto its feet before planing.

Will a DW735 fit under a workbench?

Often, yes, if you store it on a low cart rather than on the floor. A 36-in (91 cm) bench with a 1-3/4 in top has about 34 in under it, minus any rails or shelf. The planer is 18–22 in tall, so a cart up to about 10–12 in high still fits. Getting 92 lb out from under a bench every session is the hard part, which is why many owners use a rolling cart or a flip-top stand instead. We compare those options in planer stands and flip-top carts.

Planning checklist

1. Measure your own planer with tables folded and the crank stored. Note the tallest point. Our guide to measuring equipment covers the method.
2. Decide where it lives: shelf, cart, under-bench, or the DW7350.
3. Measure the feed lane: board length in front and behind, plus outfeed support.
4. Plan chip collection; the manual advises against a shop vacuum.
5. Check how you’ll lift it. At 92 lb, two people or a cart at working height.
6. Check the lane against your garage and car with our garage workshop planner.
