About This Product

The WEN 13 in. 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 ft. per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 13 in. W and 6 in. thick with ease. The onboard planning 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 in. to 1/8 in. 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 planning. 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, a helpful customer support line and a 2-year warranty. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods. Remember WEN.

Questions & Answers

what is the difference between an "automatic feed" and a manual feed?
ByJan 28, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

An automatic feed planer uses internal motor-driven rollers to pull the wood through the machine at a steady, consistent speed, whereas a manual feed planer requires you to crank a handle or physically push and guide the board through.

    Difference between a bladed planer and a spiral planer
    ByJul 13, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    A spiral cutter head uses carbide inserts which pass over your workpiece at a high rate, if one is chipped or breaks, the others pass over it so you do not have a nick mark in your work Also a spiral head gives much less snipe (chatter)

        This planer has an adjustable dust port, but it is not reversible. It can accept a 2.5" or 4" hose.

        What is the hight of the out feed table from the base? I will be mounting to the Wen rolling base and using it to plane long lengths of live edge, up to 18 foot. So I need to use my roller table on the out feed.

            Beyond impressed with this planer
            What you get for the money is top notch. Perfectly calibrated out of the box, clear instructions written in plain language (*including* helpful tips that are actually helpful), and a powerful planer that reduced my sanding time by hours. It's also mobile enough to be maneuverable in a shop space! I'd recommend a few readily accessible bolts to pin it to your bench / working surface but otherwise you can heft this planer and store it easily. If you do any amount of DIY involving lumber, this planer will pay for itself over time by allowing you to 1) buy cheaper rough lumber that you can quickly clean up and 2) save hours from your project time. Even better if you catch it on a sale!

              Works great for my DIY needs. It is loud but no more so than others. Dust collection (with a SHOP-VAC) isn't the greatest, but it's better than without. Plenty of power, width, and depth for my projects. Delivery got a one star (should have been zero) because the UPS driver left it out in the rain, behind my mailbox, instead of on the front porch as requested.

              The base was clearly refurbished
              The base was clearly damaged at some point and they just slapped some touch up paint to cover the damage and sold the unit as new. I can’t believe a well known company would do this. The paint on some of the touched up areas is cracked and will definitely cause rust issues in the long run. If this was sold as a refurbished product for a discounted price it would make sense. Taking it back to Home Depot and considering a different brand. Ridiculous!

                I honestly didn't expect much out of it due to the price. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The multiple cutters is very helpful. I ran into possibly a rock chip and I was able to rotate one cutter and I was back to business. Very powerful motor and a nice smooth finish with minimal ripples. I would definitely buy again.

                So much dust even using shield and dust collector
                The tool seems of good enough quality but it really lacks great dust control. I’m using a dust collector with 4-inch hose with good suction yet dust comes out the front and openings in the dust port. My DW735 does have this issue. While the cut quality is there the amount of sawdust pouring out in really unacceptable. Don’t get this unit until they get dust control a LOT BETTER !! See photos.

                  First Planer and will be my last!!
                  I needed a planer for a big project for my daughter and did a lot of research. I picked this WEN. It has not disappointed!! Assembly was easy, read the directions and watched some videos on how to use it, ran some scraps through it and it worked great, and I learned how much to take off at a time and how to run multiple pieces through... No snipe, lower noise than my table saw and the dust collection to my Rigid Vac did the job with little mess. Would Highly recommend!!

                    Given it's price point I had my doubts about this machine. I gave it a try anyway and I've been very pleased so far. I do mostly small wood working projects and it totally fits that bill. If you're looking for a portable planer that gives a great finish and won't break the bank...this is it!

                    Really good but dust flies backwards
                    I really like it. I don't like that there is a fair amount of chips that come back towards the infeed which leaves quite a mess. I'm not using a dust collector. I've tried it with my small whole house vacuum but I don't think it has enough cfm.

                      Love this benchtop thickness planer made by WEN! Very minimal assembly out of the box. Just had to add the fine-tune depth adjustment wheel to the top and add the dust collector to the back. I've attached it to my WEN planer table (sold separately and available on Home Depot website!) and had to use combination of nuts/bolts/washers that were not included. The infeed/outfeed tables fold up providing more compact storage when not in use. A nice feature is that there are two rollers on top of the planer to help pass your work back to the other side. Planing is a breeze with this machine! It can handle boards up to 13 inches wide and 6 inches thick. Use small fine adjustments and several passes to help get that cupping our of your work. Highly recommend this planer!
