Not sponsored 13" benchtop planer review and comparison between the DeWALT 735x 3 blade planer and the WEN PL1326 spiral planer. This video explores features, capabilities and quality of cut from multiple perspectives, and discuss and summarize pros and cons of each planer.

I bought the WEN planer over a year ago, use it all the time, and really like it. My good friend and fellow woodworker really likes his DeWALT 735x, and so I borrowed his to do a head-to-head comparison.
