Features

  • Spiral cutterhead utilizes 26 staggered and rotatable HSS blades for a clean, smooth finish
  • Onboard material removal gauge informs users about the cutting depth of each pass
  • 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: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
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

  • This planer is a valuable tool with a good price point.
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
Hardwoods and soft pines are equally cut by this spiral Benchtop Planer. It's performance is the same with knots in soft Pine and in very hard Hickory. The amount of shavings are not adequately controlled thru the exit tube. The cleanup is notable. The wood's surface finish is admirable due to the blade sharpness. The directions indicate a quarter turn of the height position is suggested and the blade and pressure work so well I have done 1/8th turn on fine woods like cherry. The price point is a good entrance value. ... show more

Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
I have used grizzly and I have used DeWalt. I purchased this because most online personal reviews were good. Easy set up today and I ran about 14 boards today. Very powerful. The snipe was very minimal. As far as I can see this thing is built very well. I believe it to be a little heavier than the Dewalt. I wouldn’t go any other way, except for the spiral Cutter. First day of having it and I’m impressed. ... show more

  • Could not be happier with results and value for dollar
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
I agonized over this tool purchase more than any other in my well equipped woodshop. I bounced between this one and the (all hail the Yellow) Dewalt. Ultimately, I could not in my mind justify the considerable (like $700) cost difference assuming a similarly apportioned Dewalt with infeed/outfeed tables and a spherical head, and I have good experience with other Wen power tools, so I decided to take a chance on this. I honestly could not be happier! This is the best planer I've owned to date. Runs smoothly and cleanly and I have yet to experience any snipe using the attached tables. I could start a wood chip business with the large, curly pieces it produces so it's a use-outside-only affair until I get a healthy extraction system, but that's not a big deal as it is relatively portable. Sort of...it does weigh just south of 100 lbs but ergonomically placed handles make it manageable weight. My only concern was the depth-of-cut mechanism indicator is only a round pin in the middle of the planing area as opposed to the full width in the Dewalt, but I have not found it to matter as everything I plane is in the middle of the planing area anyway...go figure. With the cost of even 2/4 wood now it will pay for itself rather quickly as I can turn standard big box store construction lumber into usable woodworking stock easily. ... show more

  • Rock Solid
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
Recent purchases of a WEN Benchtop Belt and Disc Sander (6502T), Spiral Benchtop Jointer (JT630H) and a 13-Inch Spiral Benchtop Thickness Planer (PL1326). I could not be happier with these purchases. Packed for protection during shipping in a heavy-duty cardboard box with molded styrofoam inserts. Easy final assembly. The Planer and Jointer were quieter than expected. The Planer was aligned right out of the box. Finishes after cuts are super smooth on both soft and hardwoods. Belt Sander works very well too. One surprise and a little disappointment, the exhaust ports for chip collection varies on all three machines. I can understand this if using different machine brands but not from the same manufacturer. For this, they lose one star. ... show more

  • Great addition to my shop!!
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
I considered buying Dewalt but price was too high. After much research I bought the Wen planer. It’s amazing and highly recommend buying this one!! I had a minor issue with a cover broken during shipping. I called and spoke directly to the quality department and the issue was immediately addressed and new part sent to me. American made! ... show more

  • Very impressive
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
My first planer so I have nothing to compare it with. Butter smooth finishes, very little sanding needed afterwards. Blades are easy to rotate/change. Also cheap to replace. Went thru a lot of broken down oak pallets before blades needed to be rotated. Filled several garbage bags with sawdust. Seems well made ... show more

  • Great tool!
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Single Speed
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
