Tri-Roller Feeding System & Reversible Blades

The WEN Thickness Planer uses a tri-roller feeding system to help minimize snipe. The three dual-edged blades on the middle roller can be reversed to help elongate their life cycle and ensure sharp cuts.

Fine-Tune Depth Adjustments

Easily adjust the height of your planer with the comfortable rubber-grip adjustment handle. Each quarter rotation adjusts the height of the cutter head 1/64 of an inch for maximum precision during operation.

Infeed and Outfeed Tables

Foldable infeed and outfeed tables add support to longer workpieces traveling through the planer. Both tables can be adjusted to get the perfect angle for smoothly feeding boards for smoothly feeding boards and fighting snipe.

Dust Hose Connection Port

Attach a dust extraction device or a wet/dry vac to the handy 2 inch, 2-1/2 inch, or 4 inch fan-assisted dust port adapter to minimize cleanup. Keep all of the sawdust and shavings in one place instead of all over the workshop floor.

Product Description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 13-inch 3-Blade Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood to give it an exceptionally smooth finish. The powerful 15-amp motor provides over 25,500 cuts per minute at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 13 Inch wide and 6 Inch thick with ease. The onboard planning gage 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 varies each pass to take off anywhere from 0 to 3/32 of an inch. The fan-assisted dust port removes chips and sawdust from the work piece and blasts them out of the way. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your work piece during planning. Easily mount the planer to a work surface or stand using the predrilled base holes. Repurpose old wood or make a set of boards flush with the WEN 13-inch 3-Blade Benchtop Thickness Planer. 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.

Nicely put together.
4 Stars
Nicely put together.
I just unpacked my 13” early Father’s Day gift. 🤠First impression is that it’s well built and sturdy. That 66lbs. that Wen mentions in the description is certainly true! (Lift with your legs, people!)Everything seems to be put together nice and tight. After everything was unpacked and assembled, I powered it up to see just how loud it was. Someone in a review had mentioned that it was only as loud as a table saw at idle. I found this not to be true. Maybe that person has a really loud table saw, but mine purrs pretty quietly. I don’t have a decibel meter, but a rough estimate would be in the 60-70 decibel range. Glad I bought the hearing protection at the same time.One thing I would like to point out - if you’re thinking this model has the nice granite table like the 12 1/2” model - it doesn’t. Just a stamped (but nicely polished) steel table that looks about 1/32” thick. It’s not attached directly to the base, but rather it’s held down by it’s ‘tabs’ locked into steel runners at the sides. Time will tell how well this works out.That’s as far as I got so far. I’ll post more when I run some boards thru it.
Thank you for your feedback
