JET JJP-8BT 8" Jointer/Planer Combo
Designed with the space limitations faced by many of today’s woodworkers, the JET 8" Jointer/Planer packs the capabilities of the jointer and planer into a single, space-saving footprint. Combining the jointer and planer, two of the most-used core woodworking machines also saves money.
The JET 8" Jointer/Planer is powered by a 13A, 120V motor. A paddle-style switch controls the motor. This switch has a removable “key” that helps prevent usage of the machine when you are not present. A push button next to the paddle switch resets the automatic thermal protection circuit.
The precision machined, all-steel cutterhead is equipped with two high-quality knives. The knives are made from premium steel so they take and hold a sharp edge. The knives are retained with tried and true wedge blocks and gib screws. A jackscrew is located at each end of the knives to make setting critical heights easier and more accurate. A knife setting gauge is also provided to make setting the knives fast and easy.
A 29” x 8-1/4” cast aluminum jointing table is precisely machined to be flat and smooth. The JET 8" Jointer/Planer is capable of a maximum cut depth of 1/8" with the cut adjusted using a single knob at the end of the infeed table. A handy cut depth gauge is provided at the front edge of the infeed table. The infeed table is locked in position with a pair of finger-operated knobs.
The planer table surface is 17-1/2" long (with the included extension table) by 8-1/2" wide. The table is raised and lowered with a hand crank that plugs into the top of the JET 8" Jointer/Planer. A handy scale next to the planer infeed opening shows the current table to knife distance and makes setup fast and easy. The planer table moves up and down on four lead screws, one in each corner of the main cabinet for maximum stability. The table is secured for making cuts with a single locking handle.
The JET 8" Jointer/Planer comes with a single dust shroud assembly that can be installed for either jointing or planer functions. This chute is attached using finger-operated knobs that make installation fast and tool free. The dust shroud is also designed as a safety interlock for the jointer-planer. This means the machine will not operate unless the dust shroud is installed in either the jointing or planning mode.
