## Description

Remember when you needed to smooth out those joists? Plane away chips, splinters, and misshapen edges with the WEN 8-Amp 4-3/8 Inch Electric Hand Planer. Take on 2x4s and 4x4s with the spacious 4-3/8-inch cutterhead. Perfect for fixing stubborn doors and fitting wood. This power planer’s 8-amp motor delivers over 32,000 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 4-3/8 inches and a maximum cutting depth of 1/8 of an inch, you’ll have the perfect companion for fitting and squaring boards. The 16 positive stops go from 0 all the way up to 1/8 of an inch in 1/128 inch intervals. The base plate shoe even includes two v-shaped chamfer grooves for easily flattening sharp post corners. The onboard kickstand protects both the blade and the workpiece by keeping the blade elevated and out of contact from the surface of your project in-between cuts. Finally, the dust adapter combined with the two-way dust port helps users manage loose shavings, keeping your work space clean and sawdust free. The included rabbeting guide helps create rabbets in your boards while the parallel fence bracket keeps your planer traveling perfectly straight. And because this is a WEN Product, your 8-Amp 4-3/8-Inch Corded Hand Planer comes backed by a two-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.

Review: Very good at price. - Very good at price. Quick and undamaged delivery. Used quickly for 4' oak slab edges, cutting shallow. Did great. I have long arms and strong, so could hold heavier pieces firmly and not wobble. Easy to set up, easy to store on shelf when not in use. I especially like the cylinder cutting blades.
Review: A good value for the lazy woodworker - I bought the big version to get a little extra weight and length along the sole for flattening longer boards. The longer the the sole is, of course, the flatter the resulting plane created by the cut. I'm using this as an initial cut on a woodworking bench that I'm making out of multiple 2x4 boards. This helps knock off high spots before going to a hand plane or drum sander where more refined removal is necessary to achieve a truly flat surface. My thinking is that with a $60 tool, I'm saving in expensive drum sander sand paper rolls and more importantly, effort. A couple of caveats: 1.) Don't buy this if you don't have a shop vac with reasonable capacity. Something like this: https://www.desertcart.com/RIDGID-50353-1610RV-Stainless-16-Gallon/dp/B011KF547M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535039347&sr=8-3&keywords=shop+vacuum+rigid 2.) The adapter that comes with the planer is not all that great; fits a bit loose. You may want to get an adapter that fits your shop vac hose to the 2" OD of the bidirectional dust chute outlet on the planer. 3.) Set your wood/workpiece on sawhorses or on a bench so that your planing is done ergonomically and safely. 4.) Apply pressure to the front of the planer as you enter the cut (with no pressure on the back). As the planer works through the middle of the cut, let the weight of the tool apply the pressure. As you exit the cut (likely at the end of a board) retain pressure at the back of the planer (with no pressure on the front). This will ensure a flatter cut. 5.) If, like me, you're working on long boards, it may help to get a straight edge to check your work. You can spend more on more accurate straight edges, but this is probably good enough for government work: https://www.desertcart.com/Swanson-SVE480-Straight-Non-marring-Laser-Etched/dp/B0083SGRT4/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1535039703&sr=1-6&keywords=straight+edge You may also want to use winding sticks to check for warp/twist. Note where the winding sticks rest, ideally on the outer edges if not a flat surface. 6.) Start off taking only small amounts of material, and dial up to a cut that feels comfortable. 7.) Empty your shop vac before using the planer. Then when you (rapidly) fill the shop vac with wood chips, you can save them. Let them dry out for a while. They should make great kindling if you have a fireplace. Alternatively, it could be used for mulch or yard waste. The only con I can mention, and one that WEN should consider adding as a feature, is that it's missing "Hold" button. They probably assessed that this was a safety risk, but when you're planing large sections for long periods of time, your fingers and hand get fatigued from holding the trigger. It would be nice to have a feature that enabled a press-once for "on"--my SKIL belt sander has this and it really makes a difference.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can one get 4 3/8" replacement blades for the wen planer?**
A: WEN 6534B-12 4-3/8-Inch HSS Replacement Planer Blades, 12 pack on amazon. If you click on the actual planer itself you will see this under the buying options as well. The price for the replacement blades is currently $24.62. But you know prices on Amazon are subject to frequent change.

**Q: Does it work for making multiple boards attached together flat**
A: That’s what it is made for.  The answer is yes

**Q: I am only assuming you can use this on boards wider than a 2x4 you would have to make multiple passes correct?**
A: Yeah you can plane wider boards. I have not gotten good results though - either due to my lack of experience or due to the limits of the product itself, not sure. I suggest practicing on some scrap first.

**Q: will it work on resin boards?**
A: Yes, for a little while.  Resin boards will dull the blades pretty quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Planer for the price. But warranty may be questionable!
*by D***L on December 17, 2023*

This is a decent planer for the price. The cost is its biggest attraction. For under $60 you get a good quality tool that compares to hand planer prices, if not lower. Pros: -Price -Decent quality for the price: And no it is not that difficult to adjust the blades. Just use the set screw along with the clamping screws. It's not rocket science, just common sense. -Wide cut: 4-3/8" -Power Cons: -No collection bag -Entry level tool, NOT for commercial use. -The prop foot under the tool does not seem to retract very well. EXPLANATION: If you are starting your cut off of the end of your work piece it is OK. If you are starting a feathered cut in the middle of your work piece you basically have to manually put the foot into its locked and upright position, otherwise it will bind and not retract itself. -FINALLY THE BIG ISSUE: BEWARE of the wrench they send you to adjust the blade clamping screws!!! My first unit came with a wrench that was improperly tooled. It had way too much play and rounded off the screw heads. (BTW, WEN calls the clamping bolts SCREWS, they are actually little bolts.) When I called the company for replacement SCREWS they replied: "I DON'T HAVE ANY AVAILABILITY FOR THOSE SCREWS. THE BEST THING TO DO IS RETURN IT TO AMAZON FOR A REPLACEMENT. THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING WEN PRODUCTS." This is the manufacture that claims their product has a two year warranty!! They have no access to replacing a tiny bolt? WOW!! When I asked them about how they would honor their two year warranty, since they can't even replace a tiny SCREW their answer was this: "YOU ARE FULLY COVERED, IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF ANY PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAVE. ​THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING WEN PRODUCTS" How, If you can't even send a replacement SCREW? My only conclusion would be that you would need to ship your unit to them for warranty work (at your expense, there and back) just to have them replace a 10 cent SCREW. This is how most manufacture's keep you from using their warranties. It costs you more to ship the item both ways than just purchasing a new tool. Not saying that this is WEN's policies but how would you know until something went wrong and you needed to exercise a warranty claim.
