Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Knives or inserts: DW734: Three-knife. 6552T: Three-blade.
  • Warranty: DW734: 3 Year Limited Warranty. 6552T: two-year warranty.

One-sided rows: only DEWALT's cited pages give voltage and included; only WEN Products' cited pages give depth of cut, feed rate and dust port. A missing figure is not a zero, so the DW734 and 6552T cannot be compared on those rows from these pages.
