20 Most Recent Dewalt DW734 Heavy Duty 12 12" thickness planer Questions & Answers

Installing a New Belt NOTE: No tools are necessary to install a belt. The use of a screwdriver or other tool to pry or stretch a belt may cause damage to the pulleys and ultimately destroy the new belt. 1. Remove the crank handle. 2. Remove the two hex screws from the top, right side of the planer. 3. Remove the two, small cross head screws securing the side panels to the top of the planer. 4. Lift the side panel up out of the slot in the base and remove the panel from the machine. Notice the grooves inside the belt. 5. Start the belt on the top pulley (P) with 3 grooves on the pulley, as shown in Figure 22. 6. Guide the belt between the lower pulley and the height adjustment screw (Q), as shown in Figure 23. 7. With three grooves engaged on the large pulley, rotate the pulley clockwise. Keep pressure on the edge of the belt to keep the grooves engaged on the small pulley. 8. Continue pressure on the side of the belt and rotate the large pulley while hopping the belt further onto the pulleys, as shown in Figure 24. 9. All of the belt grooves should be engaged in the final position and the pulleys should rotate smoothly. 10. Reinstall the side cover and the screws. Do not overtighten the self-tapping screws.

You might of either pinched or knock a wire loose.. I would open it back up and check for a loose wire. Start with where the cord comes into the machine and go from there. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jay_17408fb1a2cad107

This will allow you to download the manual and exploded art for base, cutterhead and motor. You may also want to check the position of the turret stop. First of all, make sure the cutterhead lockdown lever is disengaged. Here is from the manual:

Your planer is equipped with a turret stop (M), shown in

Figure 11, for repetitive planing of pre-set depths. Stops are

set at 0", 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4". Use the 0" setting when planing

between 1/8" and 1/4".

TO SET A PLANING DEPTH

1. Be sure the carriage is set above 1-1/4" before trying to

set the turret stop.

2. Turn the turret stop until the desired measurement

shows (Fig. 11).

3. Unlock the head lock lever (Fig. 8). Turn the depth

adjustment crank, lowering the carriage by the desired

increments, until it contacts the turret stop.

NOTE: DO NOT USE FORCE TO CRANK THE CARRIAGE

BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE TURRET STOP INDICATES.

PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEIGHT

ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM ON YOUR PLANER WILL

RESULT.

NOTE: The 3/4" turret stop can be adjusted for other planing

thicknesses. Adjusting the 3/4" turret stop does not affect the

other turret stop settings.

TO ADJUST THE 3/4" STOP FOR OTHER

THICKNESSES

1. Unlock the head lock lever (Fig. 8) and turn the adjustment

handle counterclockwise to raise the cutter head.

2. From the back of the tool, locate the turret adjustment

bolt (N) shown in Figure 11. This bolt is set for a 3/4"

depth of cut at the factory. Use the crescent wrench provided

to loosen the jam nut. Adjust the bolt up or down to
reach the desired planing depth.

3. Turn the depth adjustment crank, lowering the carriage by
the desired increments, until it contacts the turret stop.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like the belt broke or the drive gears have an obstruction preventing them from turning.

the only other possibility is that you are trying to take too big a bite at a time but I would check the drive mechanism.

I answer questions for free.
Your model planer might be different than mine.
My 12" planer has a red reset button on the motor.
There could be a loose wire in the receptacle.
Check the receptacle for power.

Your product manual should have an illustration of the reset button.
The power tool companies do not have manuals for every model number, but they have service centers.

Use a backing board, such as high grade 3/4 inch plywood under the board you are planing, and you should be able to get down to 1/16, depending on the stability of the board you are planing. Take light cuts and flip it over to cut on both sides. Sounds like you might be making a guitar? Good luck.

Well, I opened a DW077 today as it didn't wanted to turn on. It was brought to me by a neighbor and he hadn't a clue what made it stop working. I removed the outside screws and rubber feet using a Torx T10 with a hole in the middle. Be careful not to remove the screws arranged in a square pattern as these hold the steppers in place. You don't want to mess with calibration ! Also be gentle with the rubber around the rotating head. You need to remove the metal ring on the outside to detach the rubber grommet.. Once open, there is not much to be found inside. There is one pcb, two steppers and some other plastic stuff. Measuring over the big cap indicated 0.9v and over the small cap I had a unstable low voltage. After desoldering some wires, the underside of the PCB can be inspected (all components are on the underside). What I found there was that the main capacitor (1000µF 50v 105°C) of the 5v voltage regulator circuit was blown and leaking electrolyte. Not only was the capacitor gone, it also took an SI4532A mosfet array with it. The 3A fast chip fuse was still intact. The circuit pulled +- 10mA at rest and it went up to 20ma when depressing the power button. That SI4532A chip consists of a P and N mosfet in an SOIC 8pin package. The N side had a hole and the pins were blackened. My guess is that this controls the power on-power off signal that goes to the LM2596-5 buck regulator. I have made some pictures of the damage. So this is a route to research. Hope it helps someone

Lasers do not bend, per se. If you have some sort of distortion of the beam, then the reflector is faulty or damaged. If the beam is slanted then the gimble assembly is not hanging straight.

In either case these are throw away units. Go back to the retailer and see if they have a solution. Or call Black and Decker and see if they will replace it for you.

clean it if its not in a long time otherwise it can be a problem by a fall Was perhaps fallen during a transport? and therefore is little or slightly bent. inspect it.

Are there spareparts in US for this DW087 ? In Europe there are spareparts for to get ! Its for Milwaukee in Europe that there are little Milwaukee tools where nothing is to get but in australia all parts and may be in the states to. All based on marketing technical decisions and differences.

What model laser is it
