Most helpful customer reviews10 of 10 people found the following review helpful.very useful but bundle itBy Spassdefinitely a *major* improvement over not having one. I remember having a bit of a problem getting the screw holes in the hood to line up with those in the planer, but no hig hammers or powertools were required to overcome this minor hassle.The silliness is that you can't flip up the outfeed with the hood mounted, and unmounting the hood each time isn't rational. My planer is mounted under a workbench, and I just left plenty of clear and in the back.I'd say this ought to be bundled with the planer - which is a great planer by the way - this tool produces *volumes* of chips! some form of dust or chip collection is a requirement, packaging it separately is just a form of gouging.I've never noticed any chip compression pitting as described by another reviewer - either with or without the hood. btw. I'm using a 5.5hp Sears shop vacuum with it.12 of 13 people found the following review helpful.Cut clean-up time in half....By TomThis dust hood works fairly well but I still get chips around the planer knives...leaving dents in the surface of the boards even when using a 2hp dust collector connected using less than 10 feet of hose. The hood also prevents you from folding up the out feed table which is a bit of an hassle for storing the tool when not in use.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Must Have for 733By Walter W. SurrattYou must connect a 733 to a dust collection system. This hood is extremely efficient and the 733 is the best. I've not bothered to permanently attach the hood, it slips on easily and stays in place during operation. I also have experienced some pitting as others have, but only on soft woods when I try to remove too much material. This is easily handled by making a final pass on each face at 1/32" leaving a mar free finish.See all 21 customer reviews...
