DEWALT DW7353 Chip Collection Accessory for DW735 Planer

Customer Reviews

Great Product for the Money

2007-10-11
Used the DW735 without a collector when my shop vac died. Purchased this chip collector the next day after the mess I had to clean up. I bought a large trash can from local store and within 10 minutes, was planing with virtually no dust. Great improvement from trying to use a too small shop vac or certainly better than using nothing at all!!. Great quality, good price. Dewalt should make this accessory a part of a planer "kit". Unless you have a central dust control system, buy this product before the first board goes through the planer.

Chip collection

Item works well for collecting chips, greatly reduces dust and is a great alternative to a dust collection system. I would suggest using a metal garbage can or a 55-gallon drum. Also, secure the hood with a band clamp or ratchet strap, the one provide is not quite strong enough.

Gets 98% of Dust.

This unit is perfect for the DW735. I put it over a trash can and you could here the chips going into the can instead of all over my garage. You will get a small amount of very fine dust but lets face it, you would spend 250 dollars or more on a recovery system and where would you put it. When I am done I tap out the tube and empty the trash can outside. Best value for dollar Dewalt has put out.

works good, it still leaks a little on the saw dust

Dewalt DW 7353 Chip collection Accessory

Excellent solution for collecting chips from planing lumber. To use this system, I purchased a plastic trash can from a local hardware store along with large plastic bags. I insert a plastic bag in the trash can and attached the Dewalt DW 7353 Chip Collection System to the trash can, then to my Dewalt DW 7353 Planer.

When the DW735 Planer is in use, it transfers the chips to the can. Clean up is relatively easy, by removing the Chip Collection bag from trash can and removing the plastic bag full of chips.

The two disadvantages of the system are (1) chip buildup between the rim of the trash can and where the accessory bag attaches to the can and (2) occasionally the accessory bag will break away from the trash can which causes chips to fall on the floor.

Overall, I recommend this system even with the two disadvantages because it save hours of cleanup and it is the cheapest solution to chip collection that I have found.

It Sucks.. Big Time....

Or perhaps I should say..Controls the Dust blows from the Dewalt Thickness Planner. If one makes sure the bag is tight it works well and you guys got it here quicker and more effeciently than ANYTHING else I've ordered from Delta/Porta Cable/Dewalt. Thanks for the attentive service

Must have for those lacking a DC....

I used my DW735 for a couple hundred bdft of lumber before buying this attachment because I couldn't see paying $[...] for a bag with hose attached. Without this or a DC you will have mounds of shavings and dust saturating the air. You also lose a sizable portion of valuable shop space because anything in this area will be COVERED with crap everytime you use the planer. I got a NIB attachment from a WW'ing board for about $[...] and honestly its some of the best $$$ I've spent on WW equipment. Sure it lets out some dust but for what it is, it does an incredible job.

DEWALT DW7353 Chip Collection Accessory for DW735 Planer It works really great, I can use it in my shop, and not have chips all over. You really need to hang the hose as in the directions.
I would reccommend it.

I an not happy with this product. The concept is good, but the bag leaves much to be desired. The planer has more than enough air flow to get the chips to the can, but dust was all over the place. After seeing one of the other reviews with similar comments I will look for a new bag also.

I was not happy with Accessory kit for my planer. It did a terrible job. I ended up buying a bag from another manufacturer that attached to the hose. With this bag, I had more dust outside than inside the container that I was trying to put it into. Look for something else to work with your planer.
