How to cut the corners on coving
If your referring to crown molding at the top of the ceiling, , one way is just to cut them at a 45deg, but you need a chop saw
that has a back plate 6inches high, the molding must rest against the bottom plate and the back plate at 45 deg, then you turn the saw at 45deg and cut, take a piece and do some test cutting so you know which way for inside and outside corners.
The other way is to coping them, you cut them the same, and take a pencil and color the very edge and cut out the back at 45deg by hand,
this is hard to do.
I posted a video that you make hubby watch.

How to set up replacement blades in a DeWalt DW677
I have a Hitachi planer that came with an unlikely looking fixture for setting the blades. Perhaps your DeWalt came with one of these too. Looking at the thing you would wonder what the heck it was. If no such fixture was included, you might try a "Jointer Pal" This is a magnetic device that is designed for use with a jointer, but would probably work on your planer.

Have a craftsman tool chest cannot figure how to
Is this a stack of metal tool cabinets? Once you have released it in front, perhaps you just lift it up. I think the tabs in the back just keep it in vertical alignment. Gravity does the rest. I have one of these, and it's been a while since I assembled it, so I'm not certain.
