I unfortunately have 5 planers in my shop due to overuse and possibly poor quality equipment.
-The Jet 16OS literally falls apart when in use... screws come out, infeed/outfeed roll tables do not stay in place, the chain snapped, the spring by the chain snapped.
-Old gray Ryobi died from what I classify as old age.
-The Craftsman bench top flat out stopped running after few passes with white oak. The next craftsman bench top is still working as of today.
-The DW 734 was great for a few years, but then the drive belt snapped and I have had nothing but problems with it since. The biggest concern is that it shakes violently and will bounce from one side of the shop to the other side when running. It is not possible to run it while on a bench top. It is flat out impossible to even attempt to run a board through it. I have not been able to find anyone else having this problem with the DW734.
Has anyone had this issue with the DW734... Or does anyone have a "start here" recommendation as far as diagnosing the specific issue causing it to bounce/shake violently?
Thanks!
