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.

    • The best plainer for the money!!
Size: 2-Blade, 12.5-Inch, Single Speed
Works nicely! It is loud, but I have never seen a machine that does this hard of a job this quickly or smoothly that it doesn't make a lot of noise. It draws the wood easily into and through the machine, the finish it leaves is remarkably smooth. The width is sufficient for many of my projects for wider ones I do it is sections and join them together after. All in all, a very nice machine that does a very good job! ... show more

    • Great Planer for the Price Great Planer for the Price

Planing within 5 minutes of unboxing. Lots of warnings not to run end-grain boards through. Noted, but...I bought this to plane end-grain cutting boards. Was able to plane down 6 cutting boards in less than an hour. Couple things that worked for me - go very slow with the cutting - like, quarter turns for each pass so that it's just taking a very small amount of wood each time. Also I watched a tube video that suggested you bevel the back edge of the board to a 45-degree to help with chipping. that worked really well. Overall very happy with the purchase and quality. ... show more

    • Great planer
Size: 2-Blade, 12.5-Inch, Single Speed

    • For the price, this is very functional benchtop thickness planer.
Size: 2-Blade, 12.5-Inch, Single Speed
I don't have much room in my garage for standing equipment, so I need benchtop equipment that is easy to move and store. So far, this thickness planer works well for me. But it does have a flaw that I can't adjust out - snipe! I get 2" of snipe on the infeed and 2" of snipe on the outfeed no matter how I adjust the feed tables. I solved this problem by simply hot gluing thin 1/4" sacrificial runners that extend 2.5" in front and behind the start and ending piece of whatever piece of wood that I am working - the runners take the snipe and my material runs through just fine. For the price of this machine, the added time to hot glue up some runners is not a problem for me - the finished thickness plane is perfect and true. ... show more

    • I needed a thickness planer and this one is great.
Size: 2-Blade, 12.5-Inch, Single Speed
I was looking for a budget friendly thickness planer to clean up some wood that has been sitting around and has a lot of surface weathering. Very low learning curve and was playing with it and learning the best way to use it in less than a half hour or taking it out of the box and setting it up. More than I wanted to spend but money well spent. ... show more

    • Smooth finish
Size: 2-Blade, 12.5-Inch, Single Speed
This is my first bench planer. Came with blade changing tools and a port for a dust collector / vacuum. I processed some de-nailed pallet boards through it and was impressed with the finished product. Some of the boards had gouges so it took a few passes while lowering the cutting height. Once finished, the planer produced very a uniform and smooth finish. Seems to have adequate power and doesnt bog down. However I was careful to plane small sections with each pass not forcing it to cut too much at a time. For the money it seems like a very solid unit. I feel itll be perfect for me to learn on. Additionally I feel if one takes care of it and doesnt abuse the planer, itll provide many years of service. ... show more

    • Very good product for the cost!
Size: 2-Blade, 12.5-Inch, Single Speed
Out of the box, it worked fine. Did everything I needed to do. I played with it for a little bit making some passes until I could get used to how it operates, but it’s very smooth. It does a great job. It’s a good goodbye for the money.
