It is an authentic replacement component which is supplied by the original manufacturer for use with Dewalt planers. This is the cover for the chain that drives the roller, its purpose is to protect it from the dust and other debris. This high-quality part is made of durable plastic and it is sold individually, please note the hardware to secure it is sold separately.
Removed the crank, cover/shroud, chain guard, out-feed table.
Turned machine onto side. Gears up.
Removed split rings on three gears.
Pulled gear/chains from the three shafts: Motor /infeed roller/ outfeed roller
Once exposed to view, it was apparent that the REAR bearing block holes were egg shaped instead of r
... Read moreound. Here was the reason for the intermittent feed through.
Removed 4 screws holding retaining clips/bearing blocks/outfeed roller. (Watch out for roller tensioning springs behind bearing blocks.)
Checked the outfeed roller shaft for run-out. A few thousandths out. Decided to keep it, thinking the rubber coating probably absorbs some eccentricity; will replace later if it gets too noisy, or the smell of burnt rubber.
Ordered parts from diagram on web. (Note my model 733 had two generations. I mistakenly ordered replacement bearing blocks for the second generation, which do not fit. It would be better if the web page forced you to search by model number AND serial number. Eventually figured it out, re-ordered correct parts from the first generation parts list.)
Re-assembly was reverse of disassembly.
Fired it up. Ran several board feet of cherry through it. Behold: a fully functional, 25 year old DeWalt 733 planer. Repaired for pocket change.
BTW: I replaced the plastic chain cover because I broke the mounting tab when I took it off. Careful there. Replaced the 4 screws out of habit.
Eventually I\'ll get around to returning the wrong bearing blocks, but I suspect that if shipping is on me, then it will probably be more than the cost of the part. Souvenir then.
Remove retaining rings take off both sprockets on one chain. I then put both back on at same time. Then put retaining rings on and cover.
