Features

  • Spiral cutterhead utilizes 26 staggered and rotatable HSS blades for a clean, smooth finish

  • Plane boards up to 6 inches thick and 13 inches wide
  • 15A motor generates 10,000 RPM at a 26 feet per minute feed rate

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 over 10,000 RPM at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. 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 cast iron 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 MSA658 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. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN.

  • Shockingly Good
Size: Single Speed, Spiral Blade
I'm a retired professional with a Felder 741 combination slider, planer and shaper. If you know Felder, then I don't have to tell you they are one of the industry standards for accuracy. However, I'm sick of building a piece of fine furniture, only to discover that one last piece is too thick, or whatever. That means raising the jointer bed, cranking up the planer head, and in the process losing whatever was setup on the saw. Also, I've wanted a spiral cutter for the planer, but $1,000+ makes no sense when the Felder knives already do a superb job, and of course I would still have the changeover problem. I'v thought about a bench top planer, but that's also around a grand, so not happening. Anyway, I saw some reviews on the Wen 13" with a segmented cutter head. Odd looking cutter head, and the inserts are HSS instead of carbide, but at $400 for the one speed I decided to take a risk. I just unpacked and plugged in this morning. Connected to my 3hp Onida Gorilla using a 4" hose. I then ran a test using 1.5" air dried red oak. Results were a surprise, to say the least. Beautiful finish on both sides, even at the one speed, which is quite fast. No sign of of any cutters out of alignment. Almost no snipe - I did not adjust the tables. Dust collector gets most, but not all, chips. ( I also tried connecting a shop vac which was not that great, so I'd recommend a dust collector). Segmented cutter heads are supposed to be quiet, but brush motor noise makes it about as loud as a knife machine, at least in my opinion. Hearing muffs required. This is not a complaint. For $400 you can't have everything. Bottom line, I'm glad I bought this thing. Once the four sided cutters are dull I might upgrade to carbide, but we'll see. Sometimes HHS produces a better finish than carbide, so I might just buy another set of those, depending on how long the originals last. The question now is longevity. Machine seems solid and weighs 80 pounds, so for my needs it will probably be OK. We will see. Bottom line, doe a great job for less than half the price of a name brand. The machine turned out to be a pleasant surprise, producing an excellent finish. ... show more

  • Wen stood behind their promise to support their customers, and products
Size: Two Speed, Spiral Blade
i have not got to use this tool yet. in process of moving. but, what i am angry about is missing the top handle screw. i called about a week and a half ago, and i was told i would have another one, 3 to 5 days. nope. didnt even get the confirmation email i was told to be on the lookout for. i bought many wen tools. table saw, planer, miter saw, power hand planer, trim router, biscuit jointer, hand grinder, sander, etc.... now, its not like i lost the screw. their qc failed me. is it too much to ask to get what i paid for? i will call monday and try again. if they fail to make this right, i will never buy another wen item. i will switch to dewalt. i am not happy being lied to, wen. as your booklets say, i WILL remember wen....... ok, wen made their mistake right. they sent my missing part to me like they promised they would. and i didn't even have to call for a follow up. thank you, Wen. you restored my trust and belief in you. like i said, i now have a ton of Wen tools. i have barely got to use so few of them at this time because of moving. but so far, the table saw and the miter saw is perfection and got stellar reviews from me. so, i am expecting this planer to perform just as great as the previous tools i have used so far. i might as well as make a sign that says: this shop powered by Wen... lol... and, i am still proud that i took a leap of faith in believing in them, not knowing much about them. and, as their catch phrase says: i will remember Wen..... ... show more

  • Compact, and works great.
Size: Two Speed, Spiral Blade
First day out of the box, and I already love this planer. I had a product that was being made from rough cut lumber, and includes planing an 8 foot 2 x 12, which is pretty heavy. It ran right through just as smoothly as the smaller pieces.

  • Great entry level planer with two speeds and excellent price without spending over $1,000.
Size: Two Speed, Spiral Blade
For an entry level planer, I was quite impressed with the functionality and build quality of this unit. I have not seen WEN with two speeds, so that was a very welcomed addition to the planer when purchasing. It is heavy, so it's best to mount it to a mobile cart to move it about the shop. The cutter head being a spiral cut is a step up from the stock Dewalt's and others that ship with straight blades. The 13" cut is also another great feature to it for planing cutting boards or other material of varying sizes. It says in the manual that the wings are adjusted from the factory, but I had to adjust them after receiving the unit to remove snipe. After doing a very slight adjustment, leveling the infeed and outfeeds to being level instead of the "v" adjustment, I have had no issues. Dust collection on the unit could be better as the shroud does not seal very well and blows a lot of the chips/dust out onto the feed table and around it. Great size unit for 13 inch and very competitive with the more expensive brands. ... show more

  • Great tool!
Size: Single Speed, Spiral Blade
My wife and I recently bought a CNC woodworking router and have started a part time business with it. We bought a lot of pine slab wood from an Amish saw mill and were using a heavy duty sander to finish the boards. This planer has made that job SO much easier. It leaves very little effort and leaves the wood very smooth so it takes very little finish sanding. You do get snipe near both ends of the wood, so either have to leave the boards long enough to cut the snipe off or use scrap boards of the same thickness in front and behind so the snipe is left on those boards. The directions say you can adjust the feed trays to stop this but I haven't really tried that. There is also a lot of sawdust scrap, so it really must be hooked up to a shop vac, which works very well. This planer is a little wider than a lot of them and even though 13 inches is kind of limiting, wider planers are MUCH more expensive. We've used it quite a bit over the last few months and it's still going as strong as when we got it without having to change blades yet. Very happy with it. ... show more
