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 at up to 10,000 RPM. Two-speed operation gives maximum control; choose the 26-feet-per-minute feed rate for quick dimensioning and 833 cuts per inch, or switch to the slower 16-feet-per-minute 1354 CPI option for perfect finishes every time. 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 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 MSA658T 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, a helpful customer support line and a two-year warranty. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN.

WEN Thickness Planer
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
Machine works great the cuts are smooth and even Had a good price

Spectacular for the money
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
For the record, my only point of reference is the WEN 6552t, the 13" 3-blade single-speed. It was serviceable on softwood, not so much on hardwood. Even on pine, it struggled if the board was wider than 8" and the snipe was inevitable. It saw heavy use for 2 years, mostly on cherry, and still works fine. So enter my new upgrade, the 1337, 2-speed spiral cutter, and so far I am very happy. In the first few days, I have been running pine, cherry, oak, and epoxy through it, snipe is VERY minimal (few passes with an RO sander make it disappear), and it handles actual 13' boards with an ease that the old one simply never could. Wood surfaces come out really smooth, and just a little bit of machining lines on epoxy inlays, but nothing compared to what the straight blades did. My only complaint is that dust collection seemed to work much better on the older model for some reason. This one sprays copious amounts of shavings out the feed side. I feel like more is ending up on the floor than in my shop vac or vortex bucket. If this stands the test of time/abuse like the old one did, it is an awesome planer for the price. ... show more

Good, but not perfect
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
I really like this planer for quickly smoothing out my stock. It produces smooth and flat surface, and even works to take out bows and curve. But only a few months and already if fails to feed the stock sometimes. I think the rubber on the feeding wheels is not as sticky as they should be.

Not a helical cutterhead...
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
At first I was thinking I was buying a helical cutter head on this. Turns out it's just spiral. This planer is awesome out of the box. About half as quiet as my old Porter Cable and Dewalt players. Leaves a beautiful finish on wood. Very happy with this powerful thickness planer. Filled up a trash can this morning. ... show more

Good thickness planer at a good price
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
I recently purchased my first products from Wen. I was initially concerned about quality and functionality, when compared to brands that I consider premium…like Dewalt or Makita. No more. This is a very good thickness planer that includes some premium features like input & output tray extensions, a spiral cutting head and decent dust collection port. I was similarly impressed with my recent purchase of a Wen drill press. Seems like Wen is a serious provider of affordable and quality tools! ... show more

Best planer for the money.
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
This is the best planer for the money, made I Taiwan, well built, spiral cutting head is brilliant. Hard and softwoods plane with ease, obviously take smaller biteso the slower feed on aged hardwoods, and you can go more aggressive and or faster feed on softer materials. More and more finding WEN tools amazing value for the money. Especially when seeing more other color tools or brands contracting same manufacturers. Investment groups who buy sell and wreck quality are always looking to pull one over on consumers. Currently WEN cant be beat for the average non commercial user. Thanks WEN ... show more

Great entry level planer with two speeds and excellent price without spending over $1,000.
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
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

Damn good planer
Size: Spiral, 13-Inch, Two Speed
The only thing I would advise is that you get carbide cutters for it . The steel cutting inserts get dull after a while . Although I was running dry ash ( hardwood ) planing around 1/2" off , with multiple passes of around 1/32" . I ran about 3000 board feet before flipping cutters . The dual speed does give a finish that doesn't need to be sanded afterwards . Highly satisfied with this planer . Well built, steel construction. I'm still running the stock cutters after flipping them , and have run cherry as well with unbelievable results. I have nothing bad to say about this unit , only wishing it was wider as I have some 24" cherry live edge slabs and don't want to buy linear rails for flattening 5 slabs . If you're a hobbyist like myself and want premium quality being a perfectionist you can't go wrong with this planer. I purchased carbide cutters and as soon as these are spent they will be changed out , although I don't think I can get a better finish, the carbide cutters should last longer than the steel cutters . ... show more
