Dewalt Planer 935x is a beast

Dewalt 935x planer, works like a beast, very clean surface hard wood birdseye maple, 95 percent smooth, some minor tool marks. Leveled the tops to same depth removed the hump at the end. The material removal gauge is totally inaccurate. Cuts way too much. Better to use the Depth Adjustment scale on far right. Also better to adjust by turning wheel:

1 full turn = 1/16 inch or 0.0625″
1/2 turn= 1/32″ or .03125″
1/4 turn= 1/64″ or .015625″

Also close to getting the Harbor Freight 70 Gallon 2 HP High Flow High Capacity Dust Collector. I have to rearrange my work area though. Going to move the desk and CNC machine towards window and planer on North wall with the dust collection there.
