This thing is awesome!
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.

Great addition to my planer
So far so good. Haven’t really put it through the paces but what bit I have used the gauge it has been dead on. Makes sizing boards a breeze. Install was very easy on my DeWalt 734. A couple things to watch out for during install. I aligned the edge of the gauge with the edge of the yellow plastic shroud around the planer. I also used the screws along with the sticky pads to attach the gauge. Aligning with the edge caused a couple issues. First the top screw that holds the should on interferes with lifting the gauge bar to calibrate a board. Second the infeed table when folded up just barely rubs on the bracket screw of the gauge. Had I moved the gauge over just 1/8 inch both of these issues would be eliminated. I drilled a new hole for the shroud screw moving it over about an inch. The screw rubbing on the infeed table should not cause a problem. I do fold up my tables quite often as my planer and miter saw are on a flip table.

Good upgrade for Dewalt DW735
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 DW735Cons: 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.

Combine this with Katya Ironworks DRO Mount for an EPIC planing setup!!!
TL-DR: Buy it, BUT, do yourself a favor, and order this with the Katya Ironworks DRO Mount upgrade to get full benefits. They really go well together.Professional woodworker, I make custom music studio desks. I use a lot of expensive hardwoods and I need a fit/finish that must be perfect. Initially I was frustrated with this DRO because its mounts are so thin. Ugh! A DRO is only as precise as the rigidity of their mount. WR510 comes with thin sheet metal brackets. If you are planning hardwoords it will bend from the body and you will not get the ultimate precision. And waste money. Then I found this little gadget from Katya Ironworks DRO Mount – and wow!!! EPIC results! It is a machined mount and it is very thick, over 6 mm of solud metal. It holds like a tank. (Look for it on katyaironworks.com, or on eBay). Make sure you get the one for Dewalt DW735 (they make it for other machines too, so make sure to order the correct one) The Katya Ironworks CNC machined billet aluminum mount securely holds onto the machine casting with M5 steel socket bolts. It creates a perfectly true face-milled surface for you to mount the DRO. It is very well machined and feels granite solid. I am able to plane chasing thousandths! Unbelieveable levels of precision for wood.Long story short: Dewalt DW735 + Wixey WR510 + katyaironworks.com DRO Mount = brilliant. Results that compete with a 500 lb 240 volt woodshop floor planer.

Relatively easy to install and calibrate. Adds a lot of accuracy and repeatability to planing. Instructions are a bit cryptic but there are plenty of good YouTube instructional videos out there to guide your installation.

Love this little unit so far. I’ve installed it on a DeWalt DW735 planer and it has performed flawlessly since I installed it. I love the ability to know how much further I have to go until I reach my desired thickness as well as knowing how much I am taking off per pass and exactly how thick the board is when done. I’ve been procrastinating on buying this for a while but if I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased it ages ago. One thing to note is that the thickness scale on my DW735 had an offset to it which made the supplied hardware unusable for mounting the new scale to the planer. (it was too short) Nothing to worry about because a 1/2″X#8 self tapping screw corrected that problem quickly. Love this little product.

Excellent device, easy to fit and calibrate, the many youtube videos help but the written instructions are adequate. It certainly beats a tape measure for measuring board thickness.

It was very easy to install and calibrate. The instructions are easy to follow. After use it shows to be very accurate when comparing to the results using a calliper. Would recommend.
