I used to sharpen my own when it had the strait blades. Made a jig similar to these.

The blades can get about 2 or perhaps 3 sharpenings before they are too worn down.

thanks John
I'm not sure I trust myself doing the diy thing
I've just had a thought that Henry Bros may sharpen them,Ill give them a call
but today I found a good deal on a sherwood spiral cutter head so I'm thinking about that as well
anybody done the upgrade to this particular head, if so what did you think of it?
after looking today I've noted that there are a few different ones available with the sherwood being the cheapest, probably down to the amount of cutters
cheers

I fitted a helical head to a friend’s 735; providing your not a complete numpty it’s not difficult. Some heads require you to remove all the cutters first as the cutting diameter is slightly larger than the bearing housings but his didn’t need it; it could be carefully inserted fully assembled. I don’t recall the brand or who sold it; sorry. The performance has been amazing though, he doesn’t regret the outlay.
His cost approx $600 so the Sherwood version appears to be reasonable. I’d go for it.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

I put the sherwood head in mine almost 2 years ago. I watched a couple of how to videos first. I am reasonably pleased with it and have not even looked at a blade since I put it in. As it slips in through the bearing holes with the cutters already on its a smidgen smaller in diameter than the original head so you have to adjust the depth of cut scale after its in. The max cut is a bit less too but since I never took full depth cuts anyhow thats no big deal.

My DW735 is fitted with the undersize CTS cutter head. As orraloon has noted there is a reduced depth of cut, but like him I haven't found that much of a burden. I noticed that the Sherwood head is available on Amazon at the moment for $403.39 - Sherwood Spiral Cutter Head Upgrade Only Suits DeWalt DW735-XE : Amazon.com.au: Home Improvement. Go for it, you'll never regret it.

thanks you guys
I now know a lot more on this topic, interesting you tube video/s , on one of them it seems that the head has 4 rows of cutters compared to the
2 rows from sherwood, I think I've seen one with three rows as well, most are a lot dearer
I thought the amperage would be lower with the spiral cutter but its higher and seems capable of handling harder timbers
Aldav, lucky I didnt buy one last nite they were $429, even more tempting at $403, thanks for the heads up
I get the feeling that the standard blades dont last too long before they lose their edge, I will probably go ahead with the upgrade
cheers

Upgrade complete
I completed the upgrade to the Sherwood spiral head recently
as mentioned, no real drama, followed the instructions, took my time etc
the result is certainly worth the effort, the machine is a lot quieter even when not under load,it doesn't appear to labour much when cutting
as it did with standard blades and the tearout sometimes evident with the standard blades is improved big time by the shearing effect of the spiral head
snipe was evident at first but nearly elliminated by running shorter timber where possible on an angle to the cutter
I'm glad I bought off amazon at $403 when I did, as they are now $500 as are timbecon
thanks for all the input, it was a good move
cheers

$403 is pretty good. I paid $450 two years back and that was a special offer. At the time I went with the thought that 10 sets of strait blades would cover the cost and then home free. If anything those strait blades were the only gripe I had with the 735. They did work well when sharp but they did not stay sharp for long. Anyhow you wont need to worry about sharpening thicknesser blades any more.
