WEN 6530 6-Amp Electric Hand Planer, 3-1/4-Inch

WEN 6530 6-Amp Electric Hand Planer, 3-1/4-Inch

Q: I am beginning in wood working and I am curious, If I buy this one will I still need to buy other planers or will this one cover most of what I need?

There are three overall tools in this line you have a need for 1 - Jointer (NOT "Joiner"). You should look up videos on what this is and how to use it, along with why it isn't just a planer. It IS not cheap, and certainly not a trivial purchase. It's for when you get serious about woodworking. I recommend you look at the CuTech 8" when you consider this. Again, not cheap. 2 - Planer -- This is the main tool for making wood consistent. It is moderately expensive part but makes the sides nominally equidistant (this works if the wood is not bowed, twisted, or otherwise uneven -- which is what the joiner helps with. 3 - one of these. It's an intermediate tool which can, with some care, do some of the work of the above two tools. Not all of it, but some. I'd say blow the extra money and get the 4" model, it's probably worth the extra bucks.

Q: Does this give a shave as smooth as a hand held planer? Trying to level off 5 different 2x6's together. Want to make sure this will do the trick.

This is an incredible little planer but will not do as even of a job as say a 12 in fixed planer. I have used both a hand planer and an electric hand planer. I would say the hand planer and electric will do close to the same job. I much prefer the electric one over the hand planer.

Q: Where can i get blades to fit the 6530 planer?

Amazon look up 3.25 blades and it comes up under a number of makes

Q: Does it work with European 220V?

The voltage range in my country 220-240V. Do i need to buy an adaptor to use this planer?
