It operates at 20,000 cuts per minute with two reversible SK5 blades, offering precise depth adjustments up to 1/8 inch per pass. Designed for efficiency, it includes dust extraction, adjustable infeed/outfeed tables, and ergonomic handles, making it a top choice for millennial pros seeking smooth, high-quality woodworking results. ## Description Remember when you brought those old jagged boards back to life? The WEN 12.5-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer repurposes rough and worn wood for an exceptionally smooth finish. The powerful 15-amp motor provides up to 20,000 cuts per minute at a 26 feet per minute feed rate. Plane boards up to 12.5 inches wide and 6 inches thick with ease. The handy depth adjustment knob varies each pass to take off anywhere from 0 to 1/8 of an inch. The 2-inch dust port removes chips and sawdust from the workpiece while the onboard workpiece return rollers make multiple passes a breeze. This package also includes height-adjustable infeed and outfeed tables to limit snipe while providing extra support to your workpiece during planing. Measuring in at 55.6 pounds and 22 by 23.5 by 18.25 inches (with a 20 by 12.5-inch foot print), this unit can be easily moved around the shop using the onboard rubber-grip handles. If that’s not your style, the predrilled base holes let you easily mount the planer to the work surface or stand of your choice, such as the WEN MSA658T Rolling Planer Stand. And because it’s a WEN product, the WEN Thickness Planer comes backed by a friendly customer support line, a stocked inventory of replacement parts. Remember when your planer could handle even the hardest of woods? Remember WEN. Review: The best plainer for the money!! - Works nicely! It is loud, but I have never seen a machine that does this hard of a job this quickly or smoothly that it doesn't make a lot of noise. It draws the wood easily into and through the machine, the finish it leaves is remarkably smooth. The width is sufficient for many of my projects for wider ones I do it is sections and join them together after. All in all, a very nice machine that does a very good job! Review: Great Planer for the Price - Planing within 5 minutes of unboxing. Lots of warnings not to run end-grain boards through. Noted, but...I bought this to plane end-grain cutting boards. Was able to plane down 6 cutting boards in less than an hour. Couple things that worked for me - go very slow with the cutting - like, quarter turns for each pass so that it's just taking a very small amount of wood each time. Also I watched a tube video that suggested you bevel the back edge of the board to a 45-degree to help with chipping. that worked really well. Overall very happy with the purchase and quality. ## Features - Plane boards up to 6 inches thick and 12.5 inches wide - 15A motor generates 20,000 cuts per minute at a 26 feet per minute feed rate - Includes two reversible 12.5-inch SK5 blades (model BP122K) - Adjust the depth of anywhere from 0 to 1/8 of an inch with each pass ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09486BBLJ | | Amperage | 15 A | | Base Material | Cast Iron | | Best Sellers Rank | #119,660 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #7 in Power Benchtop Planers | | Brand | WEN | | Brand Name | WEN | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 524 Reviews | | Cutting Depth | 0.09 inches | | Cutting width | 12.5 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00044459012528 | | Included Components | Benchtop Planer | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.5"L x 12.5"W x 18.25"H | | Item Type Name | 15-Amp 12.5-Inch Two-Blade Benchtop Thickness Planer | | Item Weight | 29.03 kg | | Manufacturer | WEN | | Manufacturer Part Number | PL1252 | | Material | Cast Iron | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 20000 rpm | | Model Number | PL1252 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 12.5"L x 12.5"W x 18.25"H | | Style | 12.5-Inch 2-Blade Planer | | Style Name | 12.5-Inch 2-Blade Planer | | UPC | 044459012528 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WEN - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 29.03 Kilograms - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Product Dimensions:** 12.5"L x 12.5"W x 18.25"H ## Images ![PL1252 15-Amp 12.5-Inch Two-Blade Benchtop Thickness Planer , Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+Y-IhDKBS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the differences that really count between the two Wen planets - 12-1/2" & 13"?** A: The product description pics answer this question pretty well. - 12 1/2” model doesn’t have a top cover. - 13” model has a stamped (but nicely polished) steel table, and not the nice granite table like the 12 1/2”. **Q: The wen website says this is a 12 amp planer why is it advertised here as a 15a?** A: The planer itself says 12 amp, and the manual also confirms 12 amp. Not sure why the title says otherwise. **Q: New blade obtainability?** A: http://www.wenproducts.com/store/6552-043-Replacement-Blades-Set-of-3 **Q: What does this machine do?** A: It creates more snipe than you can shake a stick at. Unless you are prepared to loose five inches off both ends of every board buy a different machine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best plainer for the money!! *by V***7 on October 2, 2025* Works nicely!
