Description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood for an exceptionally smooth finish. The powerful 15-amp motor provides up to 30,000 cuts per minute at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 13 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 2.5-inch and 4-inch dust ports remove chips and sawdust from the workpiece while the depth stop presets help prevent you from planing off too much material. 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 63 pounds and 24 by 28.25 by 20 inches (with a 23 by 15.1-inch footprint), 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.

  • Plane truth, a quality piece! (s'cuse the pun)
Style: Discontinued Pattern Name: Planer
My old Delta was beyond the needed fixes. This looked like what I needed and the price was right. First thing I tackled was an 1X12X8, and I wanted it 1/2 inch. Took it down 1/64th at a time, flipping it each pass. Got it to 17/32's and stopped there to allow for sanding. Cuts were clean, finish smooth. No Sniping, as I used support at each end. Did you guys hear that? Saw a lot of comments on getting snipe. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! I really like the depth gauges, as they are easier to read than the Delta was, especially the input gauge. Also like that fact that the output chute is twice as large as the Delta had. Bottom line, for the money this is a great buy and a well-made tool. So now I am buying a Wen hand belt sander. Will see if the quality extends to that. If so, I will be a Check Wen First buyer for future power tool needs. Month later, and I am so pleased with the quality of this tool I bought the Wen 10-inch band saw. Again, love the quality, workability and top-notch features on this one as well. Set-up took some time, and I had to fine-tune the blade guide adjustments. I think I have done more re-sawing than detailing, making some veneer knife handles. I also noted the space between the legs, so I built that into a cabinet for blades, tools and related stuff. Add two sanders (belt and oscillating) and I have found a new tool company until there is a reason not to use their products. My shop is a happier place now/ Thanks, WEN!! ... show more

  • Great bang for the buck!!!
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
I used a 2 blade delta planer before for lots of hardwood and this blows that one away being a 3 blade. One speed doesn’t hurt either. After I dimensioned the lumber to close specs, I started planing in 1/32” passes and had great results. If I got any chip out I’d would flip direction of planing and would usually stop. Only wish was for the money I should have paid a little more for the helical model. 3 hours of continue use on hard black cherry and still cutting good! ... show more

  • Very easy to use.
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
Easy to set up, instructions easy to follow. I planned new boards and boards that had been out in the weather for several years with marine varnish in them. Results were great on both. I found very little snipe when I kept the boards level as they came through. Only con is, I attached it to my shop vac (not the same brand) but 90% of the saw dust came out the front of the planner. ... show more

  • Excellent benchtop planner at affordable price
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
I’m a remodeling carpenter and I also build cabinetry, so I added this tool to my arsenal recently. Not only is this planer a little lighter weight than the Dewalt equivalent, but it works just as well if not better. The included dust shroud works very well and overall this is a very sturdy and powerful tool. It’s very easy to adjust the settings and the preset thickness depth gauge on the right side is fairly accurate. I especially like the depth gauge on the front which makes it easy to set the beginning cut depth ... show more

  • Does the job
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
Its a nice unit for the price. IF you have the extra money Id say save for a helical head as it does make a huge difference in finish from the 3 blade the Wen offers. Most hobbyists and weekend warriors I think this does the job just fine. Be prepared for some chip out if you run the grain the wrong way or don't do something to prevent your snipping. However, a good snip sled and understanding grain pattern and this will do it all. ... show more

  • Great Planer
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
Wen has really stepped up with this planer. The adjustments are easy and your lumber comes out super smooth. There is a ton of chips that will come out on the front as you feed the wood, even with a shop vac connected to the collection port...but that isn't a big deal and is expected. For the money, it can't be beat. ... show more

  • Looked at other reviews before buying this planer. Thought it would work for my needs. I was right.
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
Ran a bunch of pallet wood through the planer after making certain all nails had been removed first. The planer functioned fine. My wood was already somewhat thin, so I quit when it finished at about 5/16” thickness, some boards were still about 3/8”. The grain on the oak boards was really nice compared to when rough, and most of my wood will be glued up into material for small box making, and some very nice crates. ... show more

  • Lasted a whole 3 weeks.
Style: Benchtop Pattern Name: Planer
I'm so glad I got this off Amazon because it makes returning it so much easier. The planer just stopped working after about 3 weeks and not very much use. I admit I'm a novice so I'm sure I'm making mistakes but the planer should be able to handle variable misuse without this kind of reaction. The manual says to hook it up to a dust collection system if possible, which I don't have so I've been religiously cleaning it after each use (sure does make a mess!) Today after running possibly the 20th (max!) board through the wheels stopped turning, it made a funky grinding noise and flipped the breaker to my house power. I cleaned everything, thinking maybe something got caught or who knows, but this time when I flipped it on, it just flipped the power breaker again immediately. After opening it up, spinning the blade wheel (clean) and checking once more for any stuck items and flipping it on again there was squealing and a burning smell. I've returned it for the DW734 Dewalt. I'll review that one after I've had a chance to use it some, but the lesson learned is that trying to save a buck just isn't always worth it with tools. Something that I know perfectly well but can't seem to stop myself from doing anyway. ... show more
