this versus the DS734 - is there anything different other than the 1/2" cutting width and the two speeds vs one speed?

This is from another user and it is correct. DW735X 13" vs DW734 12.5" 22 days ago There are several differences. The 734 is a lower end machine that is like the Delta, Ridgid and several other similar models. It does have three cutters versus two for the other ones, which is a plus. It has a capacity that is 1/2 longer, which is a slight plus. It has a more efficient dust removal system which includes a fan to blow out the dust. It is an overall beefier machine that is designed for more of a semi-pro environment. It also has two feed speeds, which is nice for rough work and for finish work. For me, the biggest plus, and the deciding factor, was that I could buy professional quality carbide knives for the 735. Not that I cut so much wood, but carbide lasts forever and just works so much better than the disposable steel blades.

Yes, there are significant differences. The 735 is a sturdier machine and is suitable for more heavy-duty work. The 734 is more of a hobbyist's machine. I had a plane that was similar to the 734, made by Delta and I sold it in favor of the 735. My biggest reason was the cost of blades. You can buy professional quality carbide blades for the 735 and not for the 734. For me, that was a big deal. Also, the 735 has an auxiliary fan that helps to remove the wood chips. The 734 doesn't. I've been splitting cedar boards to make planks for cooking salmon and the 735 planed them beautifully.

The two speed planner will give you a lot smoother cut because of the higher RPM the 735x by far.

Check this ... http://www.synology.com/products/compare_spec.php?lang=enu&compare_list%5B%5D=DS713%2B&compare_list%5B%5D=DS213 The main diff I see is Max. 713 has an Expansion Unit plus other obvious enhancements being a recent model

The dck 592l2 is often referred to as premium kit. I have that one. The dif is in the sawzall which has 4 blade positions vs 1 & the circular saw which is better built. The other tools are the same

As far as I can tell, the only difference is the SB6180 has slightly higher theoretical speeds and couple extra security features. I doubt most people would notice a difference the two of them.

I can't say for sure why the difference in price but I can say that this saw has performed well at every task I've given it. Not so much as a hiccup. Very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps.

It's a powerful saw that works hard, but I don't have any experience to compare it with. It's only my second saw and I use it infrequently. Sorry.

The biggest difference is the variable speed. If you only use small bits then this is not really a value. Besides large bits, the one place being able to slow the router down that is helpful is routing end-grain; helps prevent burning. Also, the 2.25 comes with a spindle lock button so that you only need one wrench to loosen collet. I personally don't use this feature and prefer to use two wrenches all the time. I have both routers. If you were only going to own one go with the variable speed.

The only difference that I noticed is that the NST-530S2 is USB 2.0 only and the NST-530SU is USB 2.0 and eSATA. If you have an eSATA port on your computer then that one would be a better choice as it is faster.

I am very pleased with the sander. I can not comment on the upgrade since I am not familiar with it. The B03710 sands much faster and has less vibration than the one I had before. And I like that it uses 1/3 sheet of paper.I would recommend it. NH

If you are asking something akin to performance with a single 8 gig stick versus two 4 gig sticks, it shouldn't really matter. You could do a general Google search on the subject to see if there are any numbers out there at all, but the only way to know if the DS81 differs in any meaningful way from the average machine would be specific testing. I doubt that any has been done.

Honestly I have no idea. I've never used the old model, so I have no basis for comparison. But, if you can find timing differences, then, go with the faster sticks at that point.

The 740 had a slightly more powerful motor - and is no longer available AFAIK. 730 works just fine for me, and I do some pretty heavy duty chopping and mixing with it.

Yes it is the same as the standard 735. As to the ware on the blades - I've planed over 300bf in the 6 years that I've had this unit. I missed a label staple on the end of a board and now have a 1/32nd hairline strip that shows and I easily clean up with a scraper. I also purchased an extra set of HSS (high speed steel) knives and put the money out ($158 for the set) for carbide edged which I only use on the last phase of the construction. I've got an older 13" planer that I use strictly for rough plane jobs and paint and varnish removal when I recycle older woodwork.

For my own use I prefer the DS-3. It has a safety feature that stops the shredding if you happen to touch the opening where you put the paper in. It has all the power that I need for my use.

I think the 70716 is a newer model. It's depth of cut is 3.25 (versus 2.75) and it's miter angle readout is more legible. I would pick the 70716 for those reasons alone.You might want to check with WEN and specifically ask them about the differences.As for me, I'm very satisfied with my 70711.

There is a significant difference. Run time seems more than double. There seems to be more power. I've drilled a series of 4" deep holes in masonry with a 5/8 in bit and through 3/8" steel with a 3/8" bit. The impact driver runs a large part of a day hanging drywall or steel studs. I have both the older brushed and brushless tools. I would buy more brushless tools as they become available. As I've only used the brushless tools for a year but would assume that fewer moving parts would last longer. About the only repair to an electric motor today is brush replacement.

Correct, DCK492L2 has a slightly better recip. saw in that you have multiple blade settings. The 491L2 recip. saw has no such feature. Other than that, no significant differences.
