👉👉 Let me know in the comments if there is another WEN tool you would like to see a review of. If enough people request a review, maybe I can make it happen🤔👍👍
The WEN 3962 10in band saw
Wen is made by Aukey. It's a decent brand. I've called their customer service on an issue and they were very helpful
I have a Wen electric hand planer that was inexpensive and works good.
*This is exactly what I needed for trimming the edge of oak boards **MyBest.Tools** I also used the disk to round edges while building an oak - walnut cabinet.*
I've had this sander for about 18 months. It's worked very well. My experience is consistent with your review. Thanks for posting, and stay safe!
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely fantastic review! I've been happy with WEN tools. Perfect for home gamer. I'll be picking this up next. Thanks!
Thank You, John!
Good review, thanks for taking your time to do it.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice! I have Wen's 13'' planer and 8'' drill press and 4 jawed lathe chuck. Quite pleased with their products.
Good to hear!
Thanks for this review 👍
So far I just have the WEN 3 speed remote air filter system in the garage. Love it. Definitely looking at their other products…drill press and bench top bandsaw.
Great video. I have a wen drill press and scroll saw and no complaints. Seems like another winner. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a bunch!
I recently got the "WEN 6307 Variable Speed Detailing File Sander with 1/2-by-18" Belt" (amazon). I didn't know I needed it, and now I can't live without it.
What’s that file sander useful for?
Great review, I've thought off and on about getting one of these. Used to look primarily at Harbor Freight but I'm looking now at getting something that's made really good and will last.
I have the Wen table top drill press. So far I am very pleased. Only used it a dozen times.
I have the WEN benchtop belt sander and it is a great tool, I love it. I would buy WEN again.
Great review, thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm convinced. I had sen others speak high of WEN and I've heard good reports about some of the the things they make. Thanks for posing.
Good to know! I'm impressed so far!
Thank you for the video I've been wanting a spindle sander just haven't been able to afford one. Now i can start saving up to get this one, it sucks having to be put on disability
Thanks Jim, I will add that one to my wish list. Just got me the belt sander but ac unit is next. Shop gets hot!! Hoping all is well with you and your family
Yes sir! Hot in my shop as well! Let me know how you like it!
I have a WEN 13" planer and am very satisfied with its results. I used it to make cedar face frames, doors and drawer fronts in a kitchen cabinet build.
Good to hear!
I enjoyed this in-depth walk-through - thank you! I am considering the WEN AT6535 Spindle Sander as the table tilts. It would be amazing if you could do a compare and contrast video of the two machines!
I have a Wen power washer, drill press, small 12" lathe and a belt sander. For my purposes they all perform admirably. I am sure that you can nit pick them but they work and are great value for the money.
Thats great to know!!
I have a WEN band saw and drill press and I have been very happy with both. They are not super high end tools but in a head to head test with my father in laws Bosch drill press the WEN out performed it hands down! I use it on steel, wood and aluminium. With good drill bits (good, not great) it cuts thru like butter.
Thanks for sharing! Good to know!!
Me being a 71 year old novice at woodworking i found that the wen products are a very good way to go if your just starting out woodworking . They get the job done and for the price i don`t think you`ll find a better product in it`s price range. So i hope others find Wen to be there go to woodworking tools. Great video and breaking down the product, Thanks it help me in purchasing a spindle sander.
great instructional video
I concur. I bought it and it’s well worth the money
I have one, and for the $$, it's a decent deal. I used it to smooth out the cut-outs on my Paulk-style torsion bench, and it worked great.
Good to know! Thanks
I have a WEN belt sander and that thing is a beast! Really gives you an arm workout. My only complaint is sometimes the belt will wander. After investigation into the problem it was debris on the roller that made it wander. Cleaned it off and made sure to be aware of the issue. Very impressed with this brand for those of us just starting out who cannot afford top notch stuff. Thanks for the review. I believe I will be adding this to my wish list.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your review! Your video convinced me to purchase this along with the dust collection adapter. When the sand paper wears out I’m assuming I can order replacements from Amazon also. Is that correct? Thanks again! I like your review style, subscribed, and thanks again
I have a Wen spindle sander that can swap the spindle shaft out to add a belt sander. It is easy to swap and does a good job. Reasonably priced and works well. I have mine mounted on a flip top cart. The only downside to this is that the spindles and rings fall off when it is inverted. I have a drawer on the cart for part storage and for sandpaper sleeves and belts.
It is 2 years old and does the job, I would purchase it again.
Thanks for the info
Great video. I'm gittin' one! :-)
I'm blown away that this machine actually comes with a cast table for the cost... currently
I bought two more because I like it so much. I'm gonna make jigs to fit it for various operations.
@@lastingbuild1373 have you drilled finger holes in those plates? That would be totally worth it.
thanks nice revue
Thanks!!
I have several Wen tools (4x36 belt sander & 10” band saw) and they work great. Good quality & seems like they are built to last. My belt sander replaced a 20 year old craftsman and it is of noticeably better quality that the old craftsman line of tools.
I would like to try out that bandsaw!
I have a WEN track saw that I really like just had to put a good blade on it.
It's not a name brand but it breaks down sheet stock very well
Cool! I didn't know they sold so many different tools!
got a bunch of wen tools in my shop. i use them commercially and they are all great.
Was it my imagination, or did your square make it look like the spindle wasn’t 90 degrees to the table? Clearly the sanding work showed it to be square.
I have a WEN drill press and it works great! Reliable for the basics.
Yes you are right, It is slightly off, probably because the sanding drum slightly enlarges to hold the paper on tight.
Love the one I got
The wen company been in business sense 1951. Seems to that I saw the tools 30 years ago and they looked cheaper then the big names. That being said, I think they have improved the tools and such in the last 20 or so years.
I think Home Depot sell the brand now.
Nice to see a company building quality and a decent price. We will see ? I just purchased the
WEN 6510T 3.5 Amp Oscillating Spindle Sander.
The end
I’m impressed with my sander so far!
I have a WEN 12" planer. It's a beast , and the nicest feature is the 1 inch thick granite bed plate. The best $240 spent. My opinion👍.
Earl Ledoux thanks for sharing?
I have the Wen Air Filtration System model 3410 works great, one of the next things I will be getting from them is the bench top variable speed drill press.
I have seen that air filtration system! How often do you change the filter?
I received it on May 20th installed it have not needed to change filter yet, but I do notice when garage door is closed and I am using miter saw or table saw very much there fine saw dust floating around.
I have a Wen 14in band saw and a drill press. I bought the band saw due to the price. I liked it so much I got the drill press for the name. "Remember Wen" tools were made to last? Go no further, "remember Wen".
Band saw is solid? I'm in need for a bigger one than my old delta!
I have a Wen Drill Press. When I received it I grabbed the front of the unit to pull it out and somehow broke a tab on the power switch. A couple of weeks after decided to call and buy a new cover.
I called the manufacturer and got to the right person, in almost no time, I asked if I could buy one. He said that I could not buy one but he would be happy to ship one free of charge.
Im certain the part wasn’t very expensive. But just the way that they handle this situation moves them to the top of my buy list immediately.
Thats great to know!!
All the WEN tools I have are great
Good to know!
Place the smallest drum in, do not install plastic corresponding plate. Instead take each of the plastic plates and slightly hit one edge till appropriate finger slot is made on each. Use as directed after this has been achieved.
Great video! Do you further sand those edges with bigger grit drums? I find the 80 grit really abrasive on my edges.
I use it for rough sanding and shaping then finish with other grits by hand. I'm not sure if other grits are available for the sander.
It's the exact same as my Performax I got from Menards
I got their 6.5” track saw for a bday gift. The mode selector was broken. Couldn’t tell at first. Made some cuts, put it away for a couple months. Came back and saw a tiny spring poking out.
Very low expectations calling customer service. Had a human in 2 minutes, a return label in 5 minutes, and a replacement saw in two days. He apologized profusely and said if anything like this happens for up to two years, you should expect this same service. For a $95 saw, I’m floored.
Not to mention it cuts like a dream with their thin nerf Teflon blades. Got the 56 and 24 tooth blades for $36 total. I’m not a pro by any means so honestly user error is much more a factor than machine precision. It’s outrageous they have such a higher build quality than harbor freight and Ryobi, and throttle both with customer service.
Instead of the wrench and nut do you think a wing nut might be easier,faster and just as effective?
Mine came with 3 washers though the smallest was a lock washer. Is this a new change or did they simply run out of the flat ones. No biggie just askin.
Just put the washer on the storage shaft for the associated spindle before storing the spindle there.
I don't have any Wen tools but there's a "supposed" new in the box Wen oscillating spindle sander just like yours in our town on Marketplace for $65. That's a great deal 👍
I'm curious why they don't recommend using any paint thinner or mineral spirits to remove the coating on the top 🤔
Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me unless they're trying to keep something strong from running down and removing paint from the side or getting on the plastic base and damaging it. It has me scratching my head.
I'm curious if it had a smell when you used it the first time?
Привет, давай познакомимся меня зовут Иван я из России. Я часто смотрю твои видео. Я сделаю замечание! В твоих предыдущих роликах качество изображения было лучше, мне кажется ты добавил много яркого света. Поэтому создается впечатление, что съемка осуществляется на старую видеокамеру...
Is there an option to spin only and not oscillate up and down?
sweepbeef can u sharpen lawn mower blades with that contration
Can you sand carbon fiber sheet on this? 5mm
I payed..... something-and-88 cents..... Groundhog Day ;-)
What's the best tool for the opposite situation: I have a bunch of 1.5" thick circles I need to sand the round faces of?
If I understand your question correctly, I think a disk or belt sander would be the tool!
Ideally a bench disc sander would be best for rounding outside corners. however, I am pretty sure you could achieve similar results on a spindal sander as well by rotating wood against spindle.
I know this is a weird question, but is there anyway to have it not go up and down and just spin instead? This tool would be perfect for my hat making but only if I could have it not go up and down. If that is not possible is there a similar type of tool that would just spin upright like this tool but not go up and down? Thanks in advance for your help.
No it does that to avoid deep scratches in the wood and use more of the sandpaper. You could use a sanding bit in your drill press for your needs! Thanks for the Q!
The Wen 6510T are now going for under $80. I don't know if that's good or bad. But anyways I just got one. Thanks for the video
Where you find it for $80.00?
@@gavrilteudan8759 I think I got it on Amazon
Whether you could, or couldn't . . you are not supposed to cut right at your line when using a bandsaw. So sanding or filing is expected when getting a part to the correct dimension.
Make a small hook from a paper clip to remove orange sizers.
Thanks for a good review. My main issue with the sander is that the amount of vertical travel seems small. Can it be adjusted so that more of the sanding disc gets used?
Not that I know of. I have been using it almost daily, still like it as much as when I did this review.
After using a spindle for a while, just remove it and turn it upside down to use the other end of the sandpaper.
Outstanding review. 4 out of 5 stars for the footage though. You barely showed the actual sanding action on the tool!? Still, more than adequate to convince me that it’s worth the $. Amazon affiliate link?
Thanks for the feedback! Link in description.
Anyone know if there good for metal work
Would be nice if I felt like it was a quality tool but if you look at them online there are several different companies selling the same exact machine but each has a different color based on the brand and I own one sold by harbor freight tools and I've had for about two or three years but have hardly used it and as of a week ago I'm seeing blue sparks flying out of it and smells like the wire insulation is melting so I stopped using it and it still looks brand new. I checked several reviews on all of the sanders that have the same look as wen, triton, grizzly, harbor freight, and I think fox and they all have the 3.5 amp moter and almost all of the bad reviews are for the motor burning up and in some cases it burned up the same day or week that it was bought. I'm thankful that many years ago I built a spindle sander and I had to pull it out of storage and trust me when I say it has many, many hours on it and still runs like a champ it just doesn't oscillate and its made from and old moter I bought at a garage sale. I want to buy another one but am having cold feet over this style of machine and varies substantially in price and I'm willing to bet that they are all made in the same place in China but the simplicity of the machine makes it fairly easy to fix if I could find a place that sells a replacement motor. Do you have any suggestions?🤔
I can't see any information on the motor itself giving any specs as to where I might track one down
my concern is how loud it is,,what do you think
It is fairly loud! I agree!
It is fairly loud! I agree!
A cast iron top for $128... that’s impressive.
Looks exactly like my Grizzly g0739
its probably made the same place, lol!
@@lastingbuild1373 No Doubt!!
High of sleeves for replacement
bought mine from lowes for the same price
Where are you buying this on Amazon for 80.00? Cheapest I see is over 200-300
None of my dust hose adapters fit the wen port... Disappointing.
Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.

On your throat plate just sand with your from piece a finger slot. Just 30 seconds or less . Problem solved
