WEN Planer and Stand Try out! 👀 

Had some time now to use the planer & stand. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve got a small garage shop, CNC , table saw etc. The planer work ex@Carly as I had hoped. My only minor gripe is the dust and chip collection could be better on the front side. Heed their advice about using gloves when cleaning the cutter head. The blades are very sharp, I have a new box of band aids in the shop now.

When its hot I don't think to put on shoes. Lol. Thanks for watching.

Glad I was able to help! Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. I have a couple WEN tools and although I haven't had them for a many years I see quality with their products.

I had the same problem. I enjoy good tools "mostly Dewalt" and I just couldn't get myself to spend $500 on just a Planer. This works great for the few times that I do use it. Hope you get what you want! Thanks for watching!

I have a couple WEN tools. They have held up so far, although, I haven't had them that long. Enjoy your new toy! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! When I do use them it is great to have a stand! Hope they are what you want!

Glad it was helpful!

Right on!

That's correct. It will cause some extra snipe. I have done some adjusting to find a sweeter spot. This is the 3 blade model.

I will do better with my future projects. Thank you.

Your comment made me realize how old this video is. I was specifically looking for reviews on the stand and this is the only one I could find. It's weird it's been around for this long and It's hard to find reviews for it. It seems like the perfect fit for a small shop when it comes to planers and miter saws. I was considering buying two of them.

Lol. The stand is worth the money to house and to use the planer. Arms are a must for longer pieces of wood especially the out feed arms. Good luck .. Thanks for watching!

I haven't taken them out to look at them, but running boards through it, they still turn out good!

Thank you for watching!

There will be some adjustment depending of the weight of the material you put on the bars. They, however, are pretty sturdy!. Thanks for watching.

I don’t believe that you could fit the planer on the bottom shelf. It is to tall and wide. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I just used it the other day. Works great still. I have never owned one before so there is some learning curve but I enjoy it. Thanks for watching.

You would need a push board with pieces only 6" long. 12" is about what you would need to be "safe" without needing a feed board or getting your hands close to the blades.

@@littleaboutalot7478 Thank you I was hoping that would be the range. I’d like to run some scrap wood thru and some pierces are hovering in that 6”-12” ballpark.

I believe you can buy either a 3 blade or spiral blade. The spiral is a better blade but mine has the 3 blades. Thanks for watching!

I haven't tried 12" boards yet. I have put 2- (2x6) boards through at the same time. As long as you aren't taking a bunch of material off at one time it does fine. There is some snipe depending on how you insert the wood in the planer but you can work with it and figure it out to make less of a snipe. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip

Totally agree, I need a jointer. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

@@littleaboutalot7478 Your table saw is your jointer. I bought the Dewalt 734 planer. Its was worth the $150 extra to me. I do a lot of planning so I bit the bullet, also had a $50.00 gift card so I only paid $400.00 for it. The lock down head really eliminates the snipe completely. The Wen is a good buy and a good planner. Nice buy

Just one of those things I do. Would rather walk bare foot than put shoes on. Thanks for watching!
