I'm a bit of a gadget/mod nut, so I was attracted to the idea of a DRO on my new DW735 planer. Also, like many I know, I don't use the planer every day, so I have it on the bottom of a rolling cart with another tool on top (in general, I see a lot of people with this planer set up considerably below eye level). With the planer low to the ground, it is sometimes difficult to get the first setup correct as the built in depth gauge isn't very accurate and is difficult to read unless you view it head-on. This changes everything. The display faces up and I can very easily get a very accurate setup without having to crouch way down to the ground. Frankly, I'd be happy if this got me in the ballpark but the thing seems really pretty accurate. Checking against a caliper I'm within .005" (usually even better) to the DRO reading on typical thickness boards (i.e. 3/4", 1", etc). I haven't planed any super thick stock but see no reason why this wouldn't be accurate across the entire range of the planer. Only a couple of downsides. The manual sucks. Keep it handy for reference, but when you are ready to install, search YouTube for this DRO and watch a couple of the several videos there on setup. None are great cinema, but there is some really useful info there. Once you see it, it all makes sense. The only other criticism I'd have is the way the controls work. Honestly, once you set it up you really don't have to touch anything unless you want to change units but a couple of times I've hit the wrong button as they aren't clearly marked as to whether the text refers to the button above or below the text at first glance (I just realized looking at the picture on the Amazon listing that my text is printed differently than in the picture - mine has the text below the button, no "hold to cal" lettering and no "brackets" indicating which button the text belongs to). A couple of times I've held the On/Off button to turn it off (just muscle memory from other devices) and it goes into calibrate mode (I'm glad they seem to have added "hold to cal"). Regardless the DRO works great and is a great timesaver and just makes it easier to get the result you are after. If they have updated the display buttons like in the listing picture since I bought mine (December, 2021) even better.

I love it! This is far more useful and easier to zero out than I expected. I thought it just told me the height setting absolute or with incremental changes. Little did I know that I could also take a piece of wood freshly planed, lift up the gauge and get an absolute measurement of the board's thickness too. Which then answered my question about how to zero it out. Just hit the button with that board in place and it is zeroed. The instructions are horrible and there's different pieces in there to accommodate different types of planers. I was a bit anxious at first, but In the end it was easy and I only had to drill 2 small holes, and reused 2 which were already there. Here is what worked for me. Secure the Main Back Bracket over the old ruler: 1. I took the spring off the gauge, pulled the ruler and the gauge off the back mounting plate. It makes it easier to install since you can clearly see the holes and stuff. 2. Take the red thickness gauge marker off the DW735 and keep the 2 screws. 3. I clamped a straight edge across the infeed table. This lets you have hands free for the next 2 steps! 4. I took the mounting bracket/back plate, held it up over the old ruler on the right and lifted it till the foot was touching the bottom of my straight edge. This was you know the bottom of the Wixey will register with the surface of your infeed table. 5. After you are comfortable, take the backing off the 2 adhesives, reline it up with the gauge and centered on the old ruler and press it in place. 6. Since the adhesive won't hold forever, secure it using 2 screws. The bracket has screw holes in it so you just need to drill through the metal the Dewalt ruler is on. They include the drill bit for you, but I found it easier to first punch through with a smaller bit of my own, and then use theirs to finish the hole. Then, find 2 of the 4mm screws with the hex head and screw them in to hold the bracket in place. Hard part is done... Now, Mount the lifting bracket and the Wixey gauge in the old screw holes: 7. Figure out the bracket you need... This would be easier with a picture, but look at their drawing of the DW735. It's a L shaped bracket of sorts which can fit over the screw holes the original red height marker was in. There are two included, but the smaller one is a custome one for Delta. This initially confused me since I didn't realize there were excess pieces in the bags... 8. Lightly screw it in. You will want to use the double washer to span the thing and use the original 2 screws. The metal part that sticks out will be to the left (away from the gauge). 9. Attached the long thin bracket piece to the left side of the actual gauge with the single screw. Hold it up to where it will go and you will see which side the tab has to go on... 10. Put the gauge and the ruler part which were disassembled in step 1 back on, but leave the spring off. I found it makes adjusting easier. 11. Now use a nut and bolt to secure the L bracket in step 8 to the thin mounting bracket in step 9. Check fit, tighten and add spring back in: 12. Set the planer to the 1/8 tickness, slide the gauge to be in line with 1/8 on the ruler (ignore the digital display for now, that gets taken care of later). 13. Make sure everything slides easily. I had to adjust the L bracket in step 8 in a little, bend another over a little, etc. Again, I found this easier to do without the spring in the mechanism at first since I could lift the gauge and it would stay out of my way, but that was just me. 14. Reattach the spring from step one (pull the ruler piece out, put the spring on the back bracket, slide the rule thing back in and through the gauge till it contacts the foot, then attached the spring at the top). 15. Make sure you can pull the ruler piece up, let go and it snaps back down without binding. If it does, loosen and play with alignment of the brackets. Easier to do than describe really, you'll see! Finally, calibrate the digital part for the first time (this is what I did not understand at first): 16. Plane a piece of wood till it cuts the full width.... then don't change the height 17. Lift the Wixey gauge up (the rule part), put the wood on the foot, drop the ruler. Now, it is measuring the thickness of the freshly planed wood. 18. Hold the calibrate button for 3 seconds and it zeros out. 19. Pull the wood out, the ruler drops and now it reads the actual height the planer is running at 20. You're done! Once I did it, this last part about calibrating off a fresh cut piece of wood made total sense! During installation I thought I'd have to somehow calibrate to the actual height and then never touch it, but truth is, calibration is super easy in case I ever accidentally reset it.... now it is neat to understand I can walk up to the planer and use it to measure a piece of wood too, so I don't need a separate gauge laying around! I didn't realize it did this when I bought it, but it makes sense how it is needed to then calibrate so easily. Ok, long winded and it would be so much easier to show via video. I wish I had done one. I am typing this from memory. I just did it an hour ago. Took me less than 30 minutes. Hopefully these notes help someone since Wixey's docs are so horrible!

I added an melamine table that spans the length of the machine and extends a couple of feet to either side almost as soon as I setup my planer. The slick table makes for a great surface to plane one, but adding 3/4" of thickness made the built-in scale worthless. I added the Wixey so that I could once again dial in a specific thickness. Installation: The Wixey gauge looked easy to mount in the pictures, impossible in the included directions, and came together alright once I laid everything out and walked through it step-by-step at the machine. It took about 20 minutes. I did have to drill two holes in my existing gauge to mount the Wixey, so it's not entirely reversible. The instructions aren't the worse I've ever used(good English at least), but they could definitely use a re-write. They mention a few different machines, and hop back and forth, so it's not always clear which step is applicable. Calibration/Accuracy: Calibration was the easiest part of the setup. The method doesn't entirely make sense until it's done, but then it's chrystal clear and easy to repeat if needed. In a few hours of use, the measurements were consistently accurate and repeatable. Pros: Accurate, easy to read, works well with my DW735 Cons: Instructions aren't clear, and I'm concerned that half-dozen or so machine screws in the setup might wiggle loose over time and cause inaccuracies, but have no way to know if they will or not. I'd definitely buy this again, but do wish that Dewalt manufactured something like this, that was a more integral part of the machine.
