WEN 厚さプレーナー 2スピード 13インチ スパイラルブレード ベンチトップ (PL1337)

👍

Machine works great the cuts are smooth and even Had a good price

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.

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.

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
