WEN 3-1/4" 6 Amp Electric Hand Planer, 6530

For the price you honestly can't beat it, for ones at its same size it had better or same specs. Unless you actually work in construction, there's no need to get anything more than this. If you're doing a whole deck, maybe get a bigger size but if you're just doing boards or a small area, this is literally all you need.

The 6530 Planer is well built and rugged, simple and easy to use and safe as long as the tool is used properly. First used it for 45 minutes non-stop and filled the shop with wood shavings. The depth is controlled by the knob on the front doubling as a handle which if not careful the depth can be adjusted in mid-stride but is not an issue as long as you are careful, overall, it works very well and gets the job done surprisingly well, much better than I expected. Overall, for the money, it is an excellent planer, and I would recommend it.

I wasn't expecting much for such a low price, but boy was I wrong. It arrived quickly and paid for itself the first time I used it. I needed to trim some studs prior to putting up sheetrock. It would have taken a long time with my old hand plane, but I had it done in minutes with my new electric planer. Thanks.

I had concerns about this product, because it is very affordable. I am thoroughly pleased with the product- this planer works very well, as long as you take it slow and don't feed it too fast. Very easy to use, excellent features, and a shockingly great price for a good quality planer.

I was skeptical of this brand when it first appeared a few years ago, but this is my second Wen tool and they're both good solid working tools for the price. This planer was a replacement for my old Bosch 3-1/4 planer. I've given up on Bosch, I've been disappointed with thier products for the last 5 years, they're not the same company from 20 years ago. This Wen planer works at the same level of performance and costs like 1/3rd the price of a new Bosch. I've only had this for about a week, but it feels good and does a good even plane. If it explodes on me before the two year mark I'll do an update.

I just used it today to trim my new solid wood door, it was my very first time to use the planer, surprisingly the result was better than expected, all you have to do is follow instructions. Over all I am pleased with the purchase.

works great but the little dust collection bag fills up extremely fast. you definitely want to connect it to a shop vac or dust collector if you're doing more than a couple of passes

great item works very well for the price and the reviews are very accurate for this item

Nice tool to have. The price was right.

Lack of power on curtting through mdf 3/4, the blades were damaged quickly, cannot compare with my old Bosch. It worth what I've paid for.
