WEN PL1326 15-Amp 13-Inch Spiral Benchtop Thickness Planer — Smooth Finish & Precise Depth Control

Overview

Remember the moment you turn rough boards into smooth stock? The WEN PL1326 15-Amp 13-Inch Spiral Benchtop Thickness Planer helps you achieve that result with a blend of power, control, and practical shop features designed for real world woodworking.

The spiral cutterhead uses 26 staggered HSS blades to deliver a consistently clean finish on both hard and soft woods. The 15-amp motor spins the cutterhead up to 10,000 RPM, feeding material at up to 26 feet per minute for efficient stock removal.

Handling boards up to 13 inches wide and 6 inches thick, this planer is built to accommodate common project stock, from cabinet faces to tabletops. An onboard planing gauge keeps you informed about material removal during each pass, so you can plan your next cut with confidence.

Solid construction and stable planing

The heavy duty cast iron base keeps the unit steady, reducing movement during operation and helping you maintain straight, even passes. A depth stop helps you reach precise final thickness, while the adjustable dust port keeps chips and dust out of the way.

Smart adjustments for better control

Take off just the right amount with a depth adjustment knob that ranges from 0 to 1/8 inch per pass. The included height adjustable infeed and outfeed tables help limit snipe and provide extra support to the workpiece, improving finish quality on longer boards.

Easy setup and accessories

Predrilled base holes let you mount the planer to a bench or compatible stand. It is also compatible with replacement blades BP510H, making maintenance straightforward and affordable.
