Description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 12.5-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood for an exceptionally smooth finish. The powerful 15-amp motor provides up to 20,000 cuts per minute at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 12.5 inches wide and 6 inches thick with ease. The handy depth adjustment knob varies each pass to take off anywhere from 0 to 1/8 of an inch. The 2-inch dust port removes chips and sawdust from the workpiece while the onboard workpiece return rollers make multiple passes a breeze. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your workpiece during planing. Measuring in at 55.6 pounds and 22 by 23.5 by 18.25 inches (with a 20 by 12.5-inch foot print), this unit can be easily moved around the shop using the onboard rubber-grip handles. If that’s not your style, the predrilled base holes let you easily mount the planer to the work surface or stand of your choice, such as the WEN MSA658T Rolling Planer Stand. And because it’s a WEN product, the WEN Thickness Planer comes backed by a friendly customer support line, a stocked inventory of replacement parts. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN.

    • A great Planner for an awesome price

This planner is just what I needed to complete my workshop. It just does not get any simpler or accurate than this. I've been working with wood for about a year now, so this review comes from someones who is just starting, a planner was on my wishlist but since I have limited space to work, my equipment is stored in a room and every time I'm going to use it, I need to carry it outside. So for starters I need it to be as light as possible and also as compact as possible. I had some planner in mind, including the DeWalt DW734 which is about $120 more expensive and also half and inch less capacity. It may sound like a small difference in capacity, but trust me that that half inch is a huge deal. I cannot be happier with this purchase, the day I got it home, it took me literally 3 minutes to start planning. I am fairly good following instructions but like I said before, I am a woodworking newbie. The results from planning that board on the pictures is a completely smooth surface, practically I don't even need to sand it, although I will cause I want it even smoother but really I could just leave it like that. Also I can confirm that the unit will plane a 13 inch board cause that is the exact size of this board. About the quality of construction, this seems like a very sturdy machine, no rattling or anything of the sort. I also own another WEN machine, a 6524 oscillating belt sander and that unit has not given me any issues after a year from purchase. So I am not worried about that. The way you measure the amount of material to cut is a very intuitive design. you slide the beginning of your board in the machine, the board will push a small button on the machine and that will give you the amount to be removed. You could remove up to 1/8" in a single pass, although I find that taking less material doing more passes is preferable. For me, 1/16" is the perfect amount. On top of the machine there is a crank that you turn to lower and raise the cutter, this crank is very sensitive, a 1/4 turn is what I do after every pass. The dust collection system works well, it is not perfect, there will be chips in your workshop, but overall it is more than adequate. Maybe if I used a more powerful vacuum, that could do the trick. the machine comes with an adaptor that will fit most vacuum hoses. I tested the level of the trays on both sides of the machine and right out of the box they were super squared, no need to fiddle with that. Finally we need to talk about Snipe, that is one issue that did had me worried. Some internet users were stating that the snipe was noticeable while others said it was almost non existent. I am happy to announce that for me that is not noticeable. As you can see from the pictures, there may be a small amount of snipe since that is just the way these benchtop planner work, but for me it is barely noticeable sometimes only. Like I said, weight was one of the most important factors to determine which machine to get, and they don't get any lighter than this one, partly because this machine does not have the granite surface bellow the cutter where the wood slide, this one has a metal plate that it may get scratched more but the weight savings are well worth it. Overall very impressed and very satisfied with this purchase. ... show more

    • which was wonderful. Planed all the lumber for all the cabinets ...
This is my third benchtop planer. 20 years ago, after I built my 24x32 two story shop, I purchased a Delta Planer - which soured me on Delta products! After a couple of months of use, the drive chain came loose, and got into the gear. It never was right after that. In a year, spent more time on repairs than planing. Took it to the dump. I then got a Makita, which was wonderful. Planed all the lumber for all the cabinets in my home (alder, madrone, ash, walnut) Many thousands of lineal passes. Lots of Sugar Pine, redwood, cedar, etc. I have Alaska-milled several large trees, and the Makita just was a trooper. After 18 years, it started crapping out, then bit the dust. Anyone who wants a planer for the long haul, the Makita cannot be beat. Now, all my cabinets are done, my kids don't need any more furniture, so don't need the quality tool. Got the Wen - for the price, looking at reviews, why not? So, have had it three months, and subjected it to hard use. It is a hell of a good buy. Everything came OK, but needed some set up. I saw complaints on the table and outfeed panels. You have to adjust the infeed and outfeed panel, which is easy - assuming one has any mechanical ability at all. The marble table was a little below the outfeed table, so I just removed it and shimmed it until it was perfect. My shims for about everything are the credit card type of hotel room keys. Thanks to Holiday Inn and others, I have a great supply (good for scraping glue, and other odd jobs). I have run quite a bit of lumber through it, including pine and Douglas-fir that has a lot of knots. Did just fine. But when I started making some jewelry boxes, discovered that it was not perfectly set up, and had almost a 1/32 of taper. The instructions were great, and I got the taper out the first shot - less than 20 minutes, including reading the instructions. If one needs to do this, use a full width board. Sure, the planer has nylon gears, but it will last me a long time - and what do you expect for $200? I don't need a long term planer, as I am 78, though I still fall timber (saw has a 32" bar), and Alaska mill much of my wood. The Wen is a excellent too for the price (my wife got me a Japanese hand- forged mortising chisel a few years ago, that cost the price of this tool - its all relative! ... show more
