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

For $31, this is an incredible little planer. Its light enough to run it with an extended arm, and powerful enough to cut fast. Its very solid. I like the little adjustment knob to set the infeed depth. This will be a tool that I turn to for all kinds of things. I can scribe a line on a board that needs a slight angle and just trim it down to follow the line, with a nice clean edge. I give it a 5 because of the outstanding value. I highly recommend this planer! It could be improved by making the trigger safety button ambidextrous. When using left handed, its impossible to pull the trigger because the button is only on one side. I pushed the button in and added a small screw to keep the safety button in at all times, so I can run it left handed sometimes.

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.

This was a pretty good purchase, I grabbed it on the idea that if it did the one job that I really needed to do I would be happy with it. it's got enough power, it's only two blades and you have to buy more of them cuz you're not supposed to sharpen them (although I have touched them up after clipping a nail)

Used it today!! Great machine that works great and really easy to use! Great deal for sure!!

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.

Five stars for the value factor of this planer. I needed to trim down a few doors that were sticking in our second home, and didn't want to spend a ton of money for this one project. For under 30 bucks I ordered this one based on the pretty good reviews. It arrived quickly and I was immediately impressed with eth build quality at that price point. The size and relative light weight of this planer made it perfect for this project. Plenty of power and sharp blades out of the box made the job easy. Too easy on one door as I took off a bit more than needed, but that was all my fault. Now I'm looking for other jobs that need doing so I can break this planer out again. It certainly is not a high end woodworking tool, but for simple quick and dirty jobs like this it is perfect and won't break the bank.

Works Well for the Price Overall, this electric hand planer works great for the price and does what I need it to do. I’ve used it for several woodworking projects, and it has performed well and gets the job done without spending a fortune. There are a couple of things I’m not a huge fan of. The kickstand on the rear is designed to keep the blades from touching the ground when you set the planer down, which is a nice idea, but I find that it sometimes gets in the way while using the planer. I also don’t really care for the set-screw system for adjusting the blade height. I’ve never been able to get the blades back to what I would consider the factory setting after making adjustments, so getting the depth dialed in can take some trial and error. That said, it works well for what I need it for, and considering the price, I’m happy with it. It’s a good option for someone looking for an affordable hand planer for DIY and woodworking projects.

Got this to trim a cutting board to fit in my camper sink and make extra counter top space. Worked perfectly and was way cheaper than me adding a a new tool to my ridgid lineup is never use. Would definitely recommend.

Me gustó mucho, funciona muy bien. Es mucho, mucho más rápido que usar una lijadora y deja un mejor acabado, aunque se necesita práctica para dejar la superficie totalmente plana y pareja. Lo único que no me gustó es que no trae bolsa para los residuos, tal vez porque seleccione la versión más económico pero me deje llevar por otros comentarios que decían que si la traía.

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!

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.
