Description

Remember when you needed to smooth out those joists? Plane away chips, splinters and misshapen edges with the WEN 6 Amp 3-1/4 Inch Electric Hand Planer. Perfect for fixing stubborn doors and fitting wood. This power planer’s 6-Amp motor delivers over 34,000 cuts per minute to your workpiece, slicing away any irregularities until the surface of your boards are aligned and smooth. With a cutting width of 3-1/4 inches and a maximum cutting depth of 1/8 inch, you’ll have the perfect companion for fitting and squaring boards. The 16 positive stops increase in increments of 1/128 inch anywhere from 0 all the way up to 1/8 inches. The base plate shoe even includes a v-shaped groove for easily flattening sharp post corners. Aside from the power planer, this package also includes a dust bag, a rabbeting guide, a kickstand and a parallel fence bracket. The included rabbeting guide adjusts anywhere from 0 to 7/10 inches to allow for rabbets up to an inch deep in size. The parallel fence provides an accurate and straight cut by making sure your strokes are directly parallel to the edge of the wood (a must have for planing door edges, wood trim and boards). The kickstand protects both the blade and the workpiece in between uses by keeping the blade elevated and out of contact from the surface of your project. Finally, the dust bag collects all of your loose shavings to keep your work space clean and sawdust free. The bag attaches to both the left or right hand side of the planer to fit whatever your preference may be. And because this is a WEN Product, your 6 Amp 3-1/4 Inch Electric Hand Planer comes backed by a 2-year warranty, a friendly customer help line, and a nationwide network of skilled service technicians. Remember when you had a reliable planer that lasted for years? Remember WEN.

    • It’s a Plastic Light Duty Planer but Decent for the Price

I just completely my first project with this planer. It took me a few practice cut to get my cut motion right (see the huge snipe on the left side of my 2x6) but once I got a few test cuts under my belt I was able to get smooth consistent cuts (see right side of the 2x6). Even at 1/64” it smooths the board nicely, it is a lot quicker than sanding these rough boards. The tool itself is all plastic. It feels solid enough for a small jobs using softwoods but it doesn’t feel like it can handle really demanding jobs or hardwoods. One other note: the bag extends pretty far, make sure you have cleared the track before starting a cut ... show more

    • Planes Quickly, But Fills Super Fast
Size: Corded Hand Planer
I'll update this review when I've had more time with it, but for now, this is what I have seen. This planer is actually really good at chewing through wood. I'm admittedly new at this, but I'm a tinkerer, so I can figure things out pretty quickly. I just got this planer and started on a scrap piece of wood. It did very well, but I found that it starts out with divots, so I'm guessing it's probably how I'm using it. I can keep at it until I figure out that it's just me or this planer. I only docked 1 star, because the bag fills so quickly you really can't make but a few passes even at the lowest setting before the bag has to be emptied. If I could see it filling up, that would have been more helpful to know when to stop. I found it was best to empty it by pulling the long plastic sheath at the bottom and opening the bottom of the bag where it is widest. Trying to do this through the little whole near the top of the bag is MUCH harder and doesn't work as well. It would have been better to simply have a plastic container than a bag whereby it's easy to dump out the debris and you can see how quickly it fills. Either supply a plastic container or provide an adapter for the standard sized shop vac....I don't know. The container would be more of a must, but an adapter would have been a great addition. For the price...can I really complain? No...I can get an adapter. Having said that, it's filling quickly because it's actually working. It did a very nice job of mostly leveling out an edge of a board, then I did a second piece and then placed them together to see places where they don't lie flush. What I found was two things: 1) The fact that I didn't have the wood on clamps on a level surface (simply freehanding this) caused me to cut at more of an angle...so I recommend clamping the wood before doing this and going as level as possible 2) The edges of the first board I did bowed out from the second I placed next to it, implying I had to trim out the middle of the first one a bit, since the second board looked pretty level. Of course, you should actually use a level to ensure your faces are flat, but I was just messing around with this The build quality is nice, the weight is heavy enough not to lose control of it, but light enough to keep your arms from getting tired. You'll know when the bag fills up when the chips start flying out the other side, so they really needed to put in a plastic container, instead. All the knobs and features are great, but the directions are mediocre at best. I couldn't tell how to put the rabbet guide or the plane guide on without going to the commercial for the product. They need to include that in the manual. Overall, I can see how this will make quick work out of getting boards flush together, along with a sander. As with anything...planning your work out, along with practice will go a long way to ensuring a project goes well. ... show more

What a surprise... a great tool for $40?? I'd been using a manual hand plane on my deck for a week trying to level it out - bought this and in 10 minutes, had it done. Even after I hit a nail, the thing kept right on keeping on

Like most WEN tools I’ve tried this is a great value for the price paid. It’s good quality and performs as well as the much more expensive brands. Perfect for those needing this tool for occasional projects.

    • Amazing reno project opportunity
Size: Corded Hand Planer
Review Image by #AskMissPatience
During a reno of a vintage 1900s property struggled about the trim. Back in the day the varnish used had the lead. The next coat was an oil-based paint in I'm guessing the 1960’s possibly. But, it's the thick lead hide paint that disgusts me. You include the decorative top trim is removed in most of the house. Plus, some of the wood is damaged. Trim is an exceptionally expensive change. One, protect from lead. And, how to improve the paint or replace it. Until now felt stuck for a few years. Bought this planer for me for Christmas. After a door debacle thought this would solve the straight surface issue easy peasy. Upon pulling off a piece of trim along the floor. Yea know, the seven inch high with a curve at the top. Typically including a separate decorative trim piece above. Looking at the back of the trim noticed a 1/16 of an inch plane one inch from the bottom and top perfectly through the middle along the entire board. Suddenly, this idea. If I plane those two areas then buff the entire board I’ll have the original wood. It's never been touched by varnish. If I cut the top curved inch off could add a new piece of trim to the top for decorative reasons. Like, in the movie Moster in law the living room has 1x2 inch painted black trim tacked on above the bottom wider trim tracing everything from the base board to around the door. Or, I could leave the dip to keep the board a full seven inches wide and still add a topper trim piece. The dip in the back could be helpful for cords that run along the wall sometimes for older homes. Instead of buying those plastic paintable holders. Anyway, with this planer, I can restore all the trim in the house. Making the projects go exponentially faster. Rather than use a heat gun and deal with all that. I’ll do a hand rub poly to bring out the wood. There are so many products today that weren't invented back then to help accentuate wood. It’s weird there is a gap in the back. Could have been for airflow perhaps. I didn't research the reason of why they took time to plane each board through the middle. Anyway, restoring boards from the late 1890’s to be used for one of the oldest houses in this neighborhood is like one of the coolest things ever, too me. I’m redoing the office for the practice first, so I should see the results by next week when I get to the trim. Super happy to have this planer and help to transform projects like the trim into works of art ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯 ... show more

    • Great at this price point, but...
Size: Corded Hand Planer
I needed a planer to level a small cheap butcher block countertop I'm making. How cheap? It's made of ripped down 2x4s. This planer honestly did pretty good after a little set up , after which it did a decent job of leveling the panel. The cuts were nice and smooth and even enough once I figured out what I was doing. However, there are several caveats you should be aware of, the first of which is that it required quite a bit of fiddling to level the blades with the rear shoe. Also, while the blades were sharp, they were not perfectly straight but slightly curved so that the edges gouged out more than the middle. If anything planer blades should be curved the other way so that they carve slightly more from the middle than the edges. I could have removed the blades entirely and spent some time leveling them on my diamond plates. I personally don't think that's unreasonable, especially for the amount of money you pay for this thing and I certainly would have done so if not for the final nail in the coffin: The front shoe was not parallel with the rear shoe in either direction which caused a lot of snipe no matter how careful I was. And unfortunately that's something I could not adjust and decided to return this unit. I could just exchange this for another one but I've now learned that I like electric hand planers enough that I want a higher quality one. So in summary, at this price point, this is a really good tool. However, if it were priced much higher it would probably not deserve more than one or two stars. Don't expect a more than a moderate level of precision and be prepared to spend some quality time with it getting it set up and adjusted properly. If all you need is some quick and dirty leveling or something like trimming down some door edges or lumber, this thing would be perfect. ... show more

    • Inexpensive and works great.

I used this to smooth out furring strips (ripped 2x4s) in a shower I was remodeling. Very happy with the amount of wood taken off per pass. I just let the sawdust fall where it may and vacuumed it up later. I don't like the bags on any of my tools.
