Don't get me wrong! I love my DW735 thickness planer.
I do, however, have one minor complaint.
The table extensions that you attach to the front and back of the planer are not level with the table under the cutting blades. 

I know, I should use a sled -- and will. But, for the price they charge for this thing (even though I got mine at a gloat-worthy price) you would think that either they could do a better job of machining the part so they are much closer to being in alignment or provide some kind of a leveling mechanism. For example, if the screws by which you attach the table were excentric, some measure of adjustment would be possible. Another possibility would be a screw mechanism to raise and lower the extension tables.
Thanks for letting me rant - - and I will still fight you for my planer.
Regards, Steve
