## 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.

Review: Purchase was a Wen Win for me!!!!!!!!! - This is my third Wen product to purchase to date. I have a drill press and a belt sander that I purchased some time back. As usual I ordered this planer because it was not expensive and I was hoping it would be a decent product. Like their other products I got a beast of a termite that spits wood like it hates it. This angry little machine planes wood like it cannot get enough. Its a little heavy but it is a planer so the weight works well. A small learning curve keeping it balanced but I planed a 5 foot slab and by the end I was in love. Planes a good wide path that spews wood out faster than prune juice through an old lady. Left a nice flat level finish that was smooth and nice to the touch. Took off a little at a time but this thing can plane much deeper and takes no time to make a pass. I used it outside of my shop because it throws wood as fast as my last girlfriend tossing my clothes out of her house. Wen products so far have very strong motors and seem to take a lot of punishment and keep going. Happy to buy this product again without hesitation.
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.

## 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.
