It planes boards up to 13 inches wide and 6 inches thick with adjustable depth control up to 1/8 inch per pass. Designed for professional and hobbyist woodworkers alike, it includes dust ports for clean operation, height-adjustable tables to reduce snipe, and ergonomic handles for easy transport or mounting. Highly rated for delivering smooth finishes quickly and efficiently, it offers exceptional value for precision woodworking.

## Description

Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood for an exceptionally smooth finish. The powerful 15-amp motor provides up to 30,000 cuts per minute at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 13 inches wide and 6 inches thick with ease. The handy depth adjustment knob varies each pass to take off anywhere from 0 to 1/8 of an inch. The 2.5-inch and 4-inch dust ports remove chips and sawdust from the workpiece while the depth stop presets help prevent you from planing off too much material. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your workpiece during planing. Measuring in at 63 pounds and 24 by 28.25 by 20 inches (with a 23 by 15.1-inch footprint), this unit can be easily moved around the shop using the onboard rubber-grip handles. If that’s not your style, the predrilled base holes let you easily mount the planer to the work surface or stand of your choice, such as the WEN MSA658T Rolling Planer Stand. And because it’s a WEN product, the WEN Thickness Planer comes backed by a friendly customer support line, a stocked inventory of replacement parts. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN.

Review: Shockingly Good - I'm a retired professional with a Felder 741 combination slider, planer and shaper. If you know Felder, then I don't have to tell you they are one of the industry standards for accuracy. However, I'm sick of building a piece of fine furniture, only to discover that one last piece is too thick, or whatever. That means raising the jointer bed, cranking up the planer head, and in the process losing whatever was setup on the saw. Also, I've wanted a spiral cutter for the planer, but $1,000+ makes no sense when the Felder knives already do a superb job, and of course I would still have the changeover problem. I'v thought about a bench top planer, but that's also around a grand, so not happening. Anyway, I saw some reviews on the Wen 13" with a segmented cutter head. Odd looking cutter head, and the inserts are HSS instead of carbide, but at $400 for the one speed I decided to take a risk. I just unpacked and plugged in this morning. Connected to my 3hp Onida Gorilla using a 4" hose. I then ran a test using 1.5" air dried red oak. Results were a surprise, to say the least. Beautiful finish on both sides, even at the one speed, which is quite fast. No sign of of any cutters out of alignment. Almost no snipe - I did not adjust the tables. Dust collector gets most, but not all, chips. ( I also tried connecting a shop vac which was not that great, so I'd recommend a dust collector). Segmented cutter heads are supposed to be quiet, but brush motor noise makes it about as loud as a knife machine, at least in my opinion. Hearing muffs required. This is not a complaint. For $400 you can't have everything. Bottom line, I'm glad I bought this thing. Once the four sided cutters are dull I might upgrade to carbide, but we'll see. Sometimes HHS produces a better finish than carbide, so I might just buy another set of those, depending on how long the originals last. The question now is longevity. Machine seems solid and weighs 80 pounds, so for my needs it will probably be OK. We will see. Bottom line, doe a great job for less than half the price of a name brand. The machine turned out to be a pleasant surprise, producing an excellent finish.
Review: The best plainer for the money!! - Works nicely! It is loud, but I have never seen a machine that does this hard of a job this quickly or smoothly that it doesn't make a lot of noise. It draws the wood easily into and through the machine, the finish it leaves is remarkably smooth. The width is sufficient for many of my projects for wider ones I do it is sections and join them together after. All in all, a very nice machine that does a very good job!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long do the knives / blades generally last?**
A: Knives aren't the problem, the plastic gears on the bottom go out quickly. I threw it away and got a porter cable. The gears are metal. Trust me, get metal gears.

**Q: Where can I buy replacement blades for wen 6552 planer**
A: You can buy them from the wen website. Just search for 6552-043.  That is the part number. For some reason if you just type in blades for 13 inch planer they don't show up, but if you look up the 13-inch planer and look under the tab for parts it is listed under there

**Q: How often do the blades need replacing? i have seen complaints with dewalt planers dulling out after 50 bf. how does wen compare?**
A: I have had this for about a year, and have planed cedar, cypress, oak (the hardest), pine, even a few pressure treated , estimated total linear board feet to be in the neighborhood of about 1000' thus far, and i have only pulled them to inspect, clean and reinstall, and they keep going, but, i know, the next maintenance interval, i will need to sharpen them or replace them.

**Q: Will this plane a 3/16 board down to 1/8?**
A: You would probably have to make two passes to do a good job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spiracle head at an affordable price. Works great!
*by P***B on November 21, 2025*

Very easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised with the finish. I was glad I went with the 13 inch spiracle cutter. It does have some snipe on the end after feeding through as many planets do, but by gently holding the wood up as it finished, I was able to pretty much eliminate it. Very happy with my purchase. In the two pics are a before and after of some Philippine Acacia I ran through. 2 different pieces from the same board.
