Description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood to give it an exceptionally smooth finish. Our spiral cutterhead utilizes 26 staggered HSS blades to provide a perfect finish to hard and soft woods alike. The powerful 15-amp motor rotates the cutterhead at up to 10,000 RPM. Two-speed operation gives maximum control; choose the 26-feet-per-minute feed rate for quick dimensioning and 833 cuts per inch, or switch to the slower 16-feet-per-minute 1354 CPI option for perfect finishes every time. Plane boards up to 13 inches wide and 6 inches thick with ease. The onboard planing gauge helps inform users about the amount of material being removed during each pass. Combine that with the heavy-duty base for a sturdy planer that does not walk or wobble during operation. The handy depth adjustment knob makes it easy to take off anywhere from 0 to 1/8 of an inch per pass. The adjustable dust port removes chips and sawdust from the workpiece and blasts them out of the way. The onboard depth stop allows users to achieve an exact workpiece thickness with maximum precision. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your workpiece during planing. Easily mount the planer to a work surface or stand (such as the WEN MSA658T Planer Stand) using the predrilled base holes. Compatible with the WEN BP510H Replacement Spiral Blades. And because it’s a WEN product, this planer comes backed by a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, a helpful customer support line and a two-year warranty. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN.

  • Works Well
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
This Wen planer is my first experience with a feed through planer. Since smooth cedar boards are expensive and I wanted to build a horizontal cedar fence the overall cost would have been prohibitive. Buying rough cut cedar is an order of magnitude less expensive than the smooth variety so I took a flyer on using a planer. Wow, I’m glad I did. Operation is straight forward and after a few test pieces I began planing the 4x4 cedar posts and a quantity of 6”x1”x96” boards. The high speed steel cutter blades lasted for about 10 or so boards (planed both sides), rotated them and did 10 more. Then I replaced the cutters (easy but takes time) with carbide blades and went on my way. I like how the necessary tools are attached right to the machine. Operation of the Wen planer is straight forward and self explanatory so even a newbie can start putting out good results. I also purchased two roller stands and spent some time making sure the boards went through straight, level and true. Result was no snipe which surprised me since many YT videos are how to prevent snipe. Setting up measurement and adjustment is straight forward and little effort. About 1/16” is most I would remove at one time and this worked out well for me. I also purchased the Wen planer stand which gives a solid base for the planer. As the photo shows the results were satisfying with only one pass. What was a collection of rough cut cedar boards and posts became a really attractive set of lumber that looks great. Well worth the money, even for this one project, and I recommend this planer. There will be more projects now that I see how great the results were. Now to get as excited to dig the post holes. ... show more

  • a really great machine
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
In my job experiences there were many opportunities to run commercial planers and they were work horses and so is this one! It is smaller but with the spiral cutter head it will plane wood and hardly slow down! There was some Ipe wood left over from another job this wood is Brazil hardwood and so hard you can't drive a nail in it! At taking off 1/32 at a time it never slowed down and came out smooth as glass! it had a little snipe until the infeed and outfeed tables were adjusted up a taste and now no snipe! The tricks to keeping a great planer is be patient and take real small bites, clean dirty boards with a wire brush,vacuum it out after each use and do maintenance according to the manual and it will last a long time!The evac system works great with a shop vac also! There was a lot of shopping done before this one was chosen and turns out you get a lot for the money! Am very happy ! Go ahead pull the trigger on it you want be sorry! ... show more

  • Well worth the money
Style: Two-Speed Pattern Name: TOOLS
I like the spiral cutting edge. I think overall it planes wood so much better in comparison to a two or three blade straight cut machine. It was easy to set up and the 13 in planing surface is a big plus. I have a few other WEN products and have been happy with the performance of each.

  • Good machine, poor service !!!!!3/17/2024 EDIT!!!!
Style: Single Speed Pattern Name: TOOLS
I got the WEN PL1326 15-Amp 13-Inch Spiral Benchtop Thickness Planer two weeks ago, (Feb8th). During my initial trial and set up I first noticed that the depth indicator on the side is off by 1/32nd of an inch. I have maxed out the adjustment in the direction that it needs to go and it is still off. I can account for that. After running about 12-15 small cutoffs of 2"x4"s I heard a small "clunk". After that it started leaving a gouge in the pieces. After taking off the dust cover I found that one of the blades was out of alignment and there were some nicks in the cutting head. I could not properly re-seat the blade. There were no nails, screws or other obstructions in the wood as they were unused cutoffs. I think the blade was not attached correctly and now can not be aligned with the rest of the blades. I immediately contacted WEN. They got back to me in a day with an automated email asking for more detail and pictures. I responded. That was 10 days ago. This is very disappointing. The planer has good power and is easy to use. But 1/3 of the width is not usable because of the damaged head. I did not want to give a poor review on Amazon, but WEN has been lax about solving my issue. I/WEN need to get this sorted out ASAP. ********EDIT***********EDIT**********EDIT************* It took a couple of back and forth emails, then eventually a call to a real person at WEN, but I am happy to say that I was taken care of. I got a replacement unit. Phil, from WEN was a big help. He even said that if Amazon did not get it taken care of, he would. From my initial purchase, to getting the replacement was 4 1/2 weeks. The new unit seems to be operating in the same strong fashion as the original. Even the depth gauge is off by the same amount! I am very pleased with this planer. I would recommend. ... show more

  • Clean cutting
Style: Two-Speed Pattern Name: TOOLS
Very pleased with planner. Really like how quite the unit is when planning. Leaves a allmost sanded finnish on planned harder woods. Do need a good shop vac to collect discarged chips. Having hard time finding a discarge adapter to 1 3/4 " hose.

  • Outstanding Thickness Planer
Style: One Speed Pattern Name: 13-Inch Spiral Blade Planer
This planer is amazing for the price. It is relatively quiet. The spiral heads cut extremely smooth with minimal Skype. The dust collector chute works very well with the 4" hose. I have not tried the 2.5" hose, but I am sure that it is adequate. It is very user friendly and well built. I cannot see how any other planer in the bench top category can beat this unit. I have several WEN products, ie; thickness planer, air purifier, drill press, oscillating/belt planer, circular saw and 12" disc sander. All of them have performed well and their quality matches or exceeds competition. What little service support I have needed has been courteous, professional and supportive. ... show more
