WEN 6528 3.8-Amp Electric Hand Planer, 2-3/8-Inch

This WEN electric hand planer is easy to use, lightweight, and powerful enough for woodworking projects. The depth adjustment is simple, and it leaves a smooth, clean finish. It offers great value for the price and works well for DIY projects and home improvements.

I just finished using the WEN 6528 3.8-Amp Electric Hand Planer, 2-3/8-Inch on an outdoor deck to shave several rain-swollen boards down to a usable thickness again. The WEN 6528 was, frankly, a surprise. It is inexpensive, solid, rugged and lightweight. I was able to plane though this very awkward project in record time. The smooth, powerful operation stripped off layer after layer of wood on several boards and, although they highly recommend you DON'T, I was even able to lightly run it diagonally and across the grain on boards that were solidly attached to the deck. This is probably a little lightweight for a professional contractor, but if you are a regular person with an annoying, difficult project, the WEN 6528 really earns its five stars.

Great tool. Worked perfect. Easy to use. I just can't find the right sized vacuum tube/attachment to fit the dust collector hole. My shop vac hose is too big and too small. My house vac didn't fit either. I even purchased the "WEN 5-Step Modular Dust Hose Reducer and Adapter Set (DCA014)" and none of those fit just right. Seems like that should be universal size 1.25" outside diameter.

Amazing price ..Worked very well ..great buy

Works better than expected. I was very suppressed and how accurate this thing is for leveling doors. Especially old solid core pine doors. Works great. Very smooth.

This is a great little tool for the price. Simple and easy to use and very effective in removing wood quickly. It kicks out a lot of very fine shavings so an after market containment system would be a useful addition. I also have a Wen pneumatic roofing nailer and I really like that as well. I put over 3,000 nails through it no problem. For the planer, integrating some sort of grip on the front end would be useful. You can use the depth adjustment knob but it’s not designed for that and not comfortable. Overall, definitely worth it and for the cost, it pays for itself after just a few uses. Definitely beats a manual hand planer or sander.

Our family has been using Wen products for years. They're sturdy, well-built, function exactly as expected and have an OUTSTANDING user manual that is well written, easy to understand and amply illustrated. (The big guys could take notice - it's so much easier to follow than the tiny phone fonts.) This planer has been amazing - lightly removed the irregularities from a door that got caught in a flood. Now we can decide whether to refinish or cover with a kickplate.

Cheap but effective. I use it for simple things like doors and it runs and cuts. Not perfect but for basic needs at the price can't beat it.

I purchased this electric planner to make old door fit into existing frames. The planner needs some fine tuning which unfortunately the instructions do not instruct you on how to tune it. As others in the reviewd have pointed out, there are youtube tutorials on how to do this. It requires some minor filing and adjustment and then you will be good to go. Once its tuned, I found the planner cuts straight and accurately. I wish it came with a bag attachment as the filings go everywhere. These can be bought seperately but it would have been nice to have included. Otherwise, this is a great tool for the price point.

It's a great product and works well but it did not come with a dust bag. This is disappointing as it is very messy and shoots the shavings everywhere!

Was a great price and works great
