Remember WEN?

We've been designing and distributing high-quality and affordable power tools for decades. Founded by Nick Anton back in 1951, WEN originally made its mark by helping bring tools and electricity together (putting the power into power tools). Our research and development team played a vital role in helping to develop a variety of common everyday tools such as the chainsaw, the electric soldering gun, the electric jigsaw, the electric engraver, and the knife and wet wheel sharpeners. WEN even pioneered random orbital technology – the technology seen in most polishers, waxers, and buffers today that gives cars everywhere the streak-free shine they deserve.

Helping you get the job done since 1951.

Since then, our expertise has expanded to encompass a wide variety of products, including drill presses, lathes, bench grinders, nailers, miter saws, hand tools, generators, and cordless power tools, to name a few. By 2001, only 50 years after our humble beginnings, we had already sold over 50 million consumer units. By 2021, we had sold nearly 80 million. Today, WEN's headquarters can be found in West Dundee, Illinois. Our goal is to help woodworkers, DIYers, and artisans across the world execute their wildest imaginations.

29 customers mention9 positive20 negative

Customers are mixed about the noise of the sander. Some mention it's far quieter than the belt sander that it replaced, and complies with OSHA noise limits. However, others say that it'd be extremely noisy, with banging, motor brushes, and grinding noises. The motor can sound a bit taxed at times, and it can squeal and produce a significant amount of chatter on the product being shaved.

"...No big deal when you have a 3D printer though.It's noisier than I had hoped. It has a universal motor, so that's to be expected, I guess...." Read more

"I don’t know how loud these normally are but mine is extremely noisy." Read more

"At first when I started it up it was very noisy , then I found out it was the tilting table where the table comes together at the hinge ...." Read more

34 customers mention3 positive31 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the sander. They mention that the belt oscillates violently, the unit will slide when applying pressure to the workpiece, and the abrasive pad doesn't oscillate up and down fast enough. The bumpy surface makes it hard to hold the work piece steady. The product stopped oscillating in less than a month and WEN will not respond to a warranty request. It also has a tendency to slip.

"...The unit will sometimes slide when I am applying pressure to the word piece against the sanding belt..." Read more

"...It's not super rigid. If you really try to press on it, you can deflect the belt/spindle...." Read more

"...I don't get a smooth surface, I'm thinking maybe the sanding belt doesn't oscillates up and down fast enough which causes this to happen...." Read more

"...jumped around and then settled down but with no up and down oscillation...." Read more

19 customers mention5 positive14 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the adjustability of the sander. They mention that the adjustable table is bowed up in the middle by about 1/4". They also say that it's difficult to get the correct angle and that the table is not perpendicular to the rem.

"...Cons:*Sometimes difficult to get the correct angle..." Read more

"I had a problem with the tilting table on this unit. It was warped...." Read more

"...It wasn't necessary to adjust anything. The tracking device on the belt sander responded and changing belts is a breeze...." Read more

"...Your money would be better spent elsewhere. The table is not square (as many others have mentioned) and the "adjustment" mechanism did not fix it..." Read more

Fantastic investment.

Fantastic investment.
Oh, this is a great value for the price. I recommend buying some extra sanding, drums, and various grit just around it out, but for the money this thing is amazing.Good quality parts with a pretty solid construction at this price point. Naturally, I’m sure there is better out there at higher price points, but for an entry-level machine, this thing is a beastWith the belt sander and the drum sander together in one machine it’s a real space saver, which is nice for my little workshop as every bit of space is important.Pros:*Compact design safe space.*Dust removal port works brilliantly*After many hours of use it has performed reliably, and appears to be pretty rugged.*Great value and better than expected quality for this price point*Built-in storage for accessories is extremely helpful.Cons:*Sometimes difficult to get the correct angle (I carve guitar necks and sometimes I need to get extreme angles to sand, and while the table tilts down it still gets in the way. I’m not sure if this is unique to my needs, but I thought it was worth mentioning)* Easy to lose the little washers that secure the sanding drums.*The unit will sometimes slide when I am applying pressure to the word piece against the sanding belt (the feet could be stickier, but I will probably put a rubber mat underneath it, and that should fix the problem).The pros far outweigh the cons and I realize I’m being pretty nitpicky with those cons but I felt like I had to put something in there to balance it out, I have a fairly well stocked home shop and have been building guitars for several years, semi professionally out of all my tools, there are a handful of machines that are instrumental to building everything from Guitars to furniture to whatever assorted projects I come up with and this is definitely one of them.10/10 would recommend! If you have any questions, I’ll do my best to answer them and I have an unboxing in video on Rumble. I tried to post it here, but it appears it was too large.I hope this was helpful and leave a thumbs up if you found this review useful! Cheers and best of luck to you and your future projects!

Good quality parts with a pretty solid construction at this price point. Naturally, I’m sure there is better out there at higher price points, but for an entry-level machine, this thing is a beast

With the belt sander and the drum sander together in one machine it’s a real space saver, which is nice for my little workshop as every bit of space is important.

Pros:
*Compact design safe space.
*Dust removal port works brilliantly
*After many hours of use it has performed reliably, and appears to be pretty rugged.
*Great value and better than expected quality for this price point
*Built-in storage for accessories is extremely helpful.

Cons:
*Sometimes difficult to get the correct angle (I carve guitar necks and sometimes I need to get extreme angles to sand, and while the table tilts down it still gets in the way. I’m not sure if this is unique to my needs, but I thought it was worth mentioning)
* Easy to lose the little washers that secure the sanding drums.
