Dewalt DW733S Planer/Thicknesser - Accessories

[paulrockliffe]

I've just bought a DH733s on Gumtree, it's in great condition and works very well so really please with it, but it's missing a couple of bits. Dewalt are normally pretty good for spares, so I took a gamble.

The cutter guard arm is £7.99, an easy find. However, it's also missing the dust extraction mouth, this was an optional accessory rather than a spare part, it isn't mentioned in the instructions, apart from a picture, doesn't have an obvious part number and isn't shown on the spares page. It's not on the accessories page either, there's not much listed there at all.

Does anyone know where I could get one, if one would fit from a more current model, or worse case how I go about making one? I can't see exactly how it attaches or where it needs to go from the instructions!

Also, there's a mortising accessory available; how do they work and are they any good?

Cheers!

have you seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrdNp3VQUd4

can't help you on the dust mouth, i imagine that an el may fit, but finding one may be no easier than the dewalt

There's a type 1, and 2 apparently, I know nothing about them but the part you are interested in may well be this one,

They have exploded parts diagram for you're model(s) and can supply most parts.

PS, Part number 179 for the hood, and 171, for the reducer.

Hmm, looks like there are two DW733s machines.

The one you've linked to is a lunch-box type machine, I presume the modern version. Mine is the older full planer-thicknesser machine that goes by the same name. There's a Type 1 and Type 2 for both version, I'm not sure what the difference is but wondered if one was 110v and the other 240v. Functionally they appear identical anyway.

i suspect that one was an earlier model.

It is confusing with the dust box and the model names/numbers but I think that it will look something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elektra-Becku ... true&rt=nc

somebody must have one and be able to confirm- it was a popular model.

you could also try this seller- he says "other parts available". You never know...

Sorry for posting details on the DW733s, which is in the title, then the text in the first post was for a DH 733s,
Which still comes up as a lunch box thicknesser on this computer.
What model is it that you have? or post a pic.

No worries, I appreciate your help, it's Dewalt's fault, not yours!

I can't add pics from work, but a google image search will show you that they've used the model name twice, for two quite different machines.

marcros, the manual shows the extractor is clsoer to a letter-box in shape than the EB one you've linked to, I know roughly what I'm looking for, just not exactly where it fits and whether I can steal one from a different model. The second link is for the lunch-box machine too I think, it looks liek the top of that one and nothing like anything on my machine.

Looks like I might have to make my own up if I can get hold of some dimensions and work out where it needs to seal up against.

Afternoon all,

The DeWalt looks the same as the other clones from SIP, Elektra Beckum, Metabo etc.
I've bought parts from http://www.mtmc.co.uk/Metabo-COMBINED-P ... 61434.aspx
before, and they all seem to fit each other.

HTH

It looks similar, but there are quite a few differences. I've found mine here:

You can see the dust extraction is different to the Metabo type system in the pictures.
