Stated differently, not directly comparable

  • Knives or inserts: DW734: Three-knife. 6550T: two high carbon steel double-edged blades (SK5).

Figures cited for one of the two: only DEWALT's cited pages give voltage, speed, included, weight and warranty; only WEN Products' cited pages give depth of cut and feed rate. Ask the other maker before treating the DW734 and 6550T as equal on those points.
