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.

  • WEN products are equal to the name brands we are familiar with.
Size: 3-Blade, 13-Inch, Single Speed
WEN products are truly fine machines. I have a number of them. Recently I purchased the WEN planer. It performed as expected, superb results. After a few weeks the feed thickness guage, made of hard plastic, broke away. I was stunned that a WEN produc would do this. One phone call to WEN and the issue resolved with a new guage sent to me. It was just of those things. WEN proved they also are completely committed to the customer. Thank you ... show more

  • So far so good
Size: 3-Blade, 13-Inch, Single Speed
Seems to be a decent value , but I do not use it enough to really know how good or durable it is. Not gonna give something five stars , because it works good for a couple months on a few projects. I hope it lasts a good long time.But only time can tell.

  • Measurements!
Size: 3-Blade, 13-Inch, Single Speed
Only had it a day, but I did some quick measurements… - Depth stops accurate to 1/32 inch, but can adjusted - Finish is like sanding with 150 or 180 grit paper, very smooth no bumps - Planer head is level to the table at least according to my calibers, any variation would be in the thousandths of an inch - Snipe is present at 2 1/4” inches from each end -Dust collection is pretty good with shop vac, but I woodwork outside, so that is a low priority Excellent performance. I will not adjust the depth stop, as that is more than suitable. Most projects will likely need light sanding starting at about 120 or 150 grit. Perhaps I will just water pop first and then sand? This finish excels. Recommendations… -For woodworking, only buy a planer with depth stops -Three knife is a better finish than spiral cutter -Spiral cutters can be swapped for carbide for 10x service life and can be replaced quickly if knicked -Spiral head and helical head are NOT the same -Wen uses a four screw design that doesn’t require a carriage lock! ... show more

  • Easy to use
Size: 3-Blade, 13-Inch, Single Speed
I just ran 17 12 inch wide by 10 ft long boards from a saw mill. This Planer went right threw them like nothing. When I started they were 1 inch thick and I set the stop on the side of the planer and they all came out three quarter inch thick and no stipe marks. Great planer.

  • Lasted a whole 3 weeks.
Size: 3-Blade, 13-Inch, Single Speed
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
