Remember when you needed to smooth out those joists? Plane away chips, splinters and misshapen edges with the WEN 6 Amp 3-1/4 Inch Electric Hand Planer. Perfect for fixing stubborn doors and fitting wood. This power planer’s 6-Amp motor delivers over 34,000 cuts per minute to your workpiece, slicing away any irregularities until the surface of your boards are aligned and smooth. With a cutting width of 3-1/4 inches and a maximum cutting depth of 1/8 inch, you’ll have the perfect companion for fitting and squaring boards. The 16 positive stops increase in increments of 1/128 inch anywhere from 0 all the way up to 1/8 inches. The base plate shoe even includes a v-shaped groove for easily flattening sharp post corners. Aside from the power planer, this package also includes a dust bag, a rabbeting guide, a kickstand and a parallel fence bracket. The included rabbeting guide adjusts anywhere from 0 to 7/10 inches to allow for rabbets up to an inch deep in size. The parallel fence provides an accurate and straight cut by making sure your strokes are directly parallel to the edge of the wood (a must have for planing door edges, wood trim and boards). The kickstand protects both the blade and the workpiece in between uses by keeping the blade elevated and out of contact from the surface of your project. Finally, the dust bag collects all of your loose shavings to keep your work space clean and sawdust free. The bag attaches to both the left or right hand side of the planer to fit whatever your preference may be. And because this is a WEN Product, your 6 Amp 3-1/4 Inch Electric Hand Planer comes backed by a 2-year warranty, a friendly customer help line, and a nationwide network of skilled service technicians. Remember when you had a reliable planer that lasted for years? Remember WEN.

Great at this price point, but...

I needed a planer to level a small cheap butcher block countertop I'm making. How cheap? It's made of ripped down 2x4s. This planer honestly did pretty good after a little set up , after which it did a decent job of leveling the panel. The cuts were nice and smooth and even enough once I figured out what I was doing. However, there are several caveats you should be aware of, the first of which is that it required quite a bit of fiddling to level the blades with the rear shoe. Also, while the blades were sharp, they were not perfectly straight but slightly curved so that the edges gouged out more than the middle. If anything planer blades should be curved the other way so that they carve slightly more from the middle than the edges. I could have removed the blades entirely and spent some time leveling them on my diamond plates. I personally don't think that's unreasonable, especially for the amount of money you pay for this thing and I certainly would have done so if not for the final nail in the coffin: The front shoe was not parallel with the rear shoe in either direction which caused a lot of snipe no matter how careful I was. And unfortunately that's something I could not adjust and decided to return this unit. I could just exchange this for another one but I've now learned that I like electric hand planers enough that I want a higher quality one. So in summary, at this price point, this is a really good tool. However, if it were priced much higher it would probably not deserve more than one or two stars. Don't expect a more than a moderate level of precision and be prepared to spend some quality time with it getting it set up and adjusted properly. If all you need is some quick and dirty leveling or something like trimming down some door edges or lumber, this thing would be perfect.

Pretty slick little tool.

This is my first time using an electric planer and I'm really liking it for my purpose. I'm using it on old fence slats and it creates a smooth finish for my wood art projects. The multi level choices are great. I'm doing five foot lengths so the dust bag really isn't big enough for my use. I'm doing my work outside now not using the bag and just sweeping up. For the price this tool is working great for me. It's opened up a new look for my art and it's already paid for itself.

What not to do.

This is a good tool for the price but do not continue to run if chip exhaust clogs. The tool uses the chip exhaust to cool the motor. This is fine but if clogged and run aggressively it will over heat and diej.

This planer is awesome!

This planet is an excellent value! The blades are plenty sharp, it cut with ease and very even cuts. Excellent value compared to the big name brands that costs twice as much or more! Buy this!

Great tool

I originally ordered the smaller Wen planer but returned it to get this one. I’m very happy with this tool. I hook the bag up to the far side and use my shop vac’s straight tube in the near side dust port. It slides into it. I wrap the tube to the port with aluminum tape so that it’s in far enough to stay there. The tube can still be removed from the port after use and reused with the same aluminum tape. Just squeeze the tape against the tube. Take time to watch “The shipwright’s” YouTube on setting up a Ryobi planer. I notched the blades as he advises when I saw that the blade extending from the edges of the shoes cut a groove in the board I was working on. I used a diamond burr in my rotary tool to cut 45 degree notches at all four corners of each blade. I aligned the blades first by backing off on the hex head set screws till they were flush with the back of the blade housing then turned each 21/2 turns. Then I sighted down the back shoe and adjusted each blade so that it was level. I took his advice and threw away the wrench that came with the planer and used a 5/16 wrench on the blades. I forgot to say that the reason I put the dust bag on the opposite (closed) side is because you still get shavings out that side when in use. Even with that a small amount of shavings still come out that side. I haven’t removed the shoe as the shipwright does nor have I balanced the blades. I have some work to do to get up to speed on this tool. Im gouging the board at the beginning of the cut and am not keeping it square on the edges so I put the fence on the tool. Don’t be too aggressive. The vac tube can be removed from the dust port without having to remove the aluminum tape so if you don’t crimp it, it’s reusable. It also serves as a handle. Enjoy!

Great for the price

I use this to 2x 4 and Joist construction. Does an outstanding job. Lots of plastic parts so it may not last long but the price is too good to pass up.

Works great

I used this plane down some bowed floor joists before hardwood install and it worked great, just attach to a shop vac to avoid a huge mess.

Broken Wen Planer

The media could not be loaded. Purchased the planer on sale. It showed up packaged and covered in sawdust. Battery had a full charge. Attached it to the planer and squeezed the trigger. Click nothing happens. Read some reviews on the planer and one gentlemen had the same issue after he used it for a 3/4 pass on some lumber. I’m thinking this is the planer I received. Disappointing and a 1 star review is justified.

Problems after first pass.

Went about 3/4 of a pass on a 4 foot pine board and quit. The motor made a ticking sound and that's all the use I got out of it. I do have a replacement coming so we will see how it performs.
