JET JWS-35X3-1 Shaper 3hp, 1PH, 230V - JT9-708323

JET JWS-35X3-1 Shaper 3hp, 1PH, 230V - JT9-708323

The JET JWS-35X Heavy-Duty Shaper brings the accuracy, durability, and power to handle tough jobs with the versatility you need. High quality materials and construction along with a user-friendly array of features makes the JET JWS-35X Heavy-Duty Shaper a high value addition to any shop.

The JET JWS-35X Shaper features a spacious 26-3/4" x 32-1/4" precision-ground cast iron table. Pre-drilled and tapped holes on the rear table corners are ready to mount most s on either side of the cutter. A full-sized 3/4" x 3/8" T-shaped miter slot on the table accepts the included miter gauge. This standard sized slot also accepts common aftermarket tooling and shop-made jigs.

The table has a 7-1/4"-diameter opening for compatibility with the largest of cutter sizes. Inserts are also included to reduce the table opening to 4-7/8" and 2-5/8". Mounted on the all steel base cabinet, the table surface is a comfortable 33-1/4" above the floor. A heavy-duty, screw-in starting pin threads into holes on the left and right of the cutter to help make many hand operations safer.

A large, solid fence system with fully adjustable left and right face halves gives you the stability and control for precision work. The fence faces are infinitely adjustable on their mounts and are each secured with a single finger-operated knob. Both extruded aluminum faces have grooves in them that make attaching wooden faces or the included feather boards easy and secure. The left fence half has a micro adjuster (front to back) for setting up ultra precise jointing operations. A gauge at its adjusting knob helps set the precise amount of offset desired for your jointing operation.

There are four spindle speeds on the JWS-35X: 4000, 6000, 8000, and 10,000RPM. The speeds are generated by a set of precisely machined stepped pulleys on the motor and spindle shaft. The shaper connects the pulleys with a Poly-V-belt, known for smooth power transmission, resistance to slipping and low heat buildup.

The JET JWS-35X comes with a 1-1/4" diameter, 4" tall (under the nut) spindle. The spindle is equipped with a full set of spacers so it can secure shaper cutters of virtually any thickness. The spindle mounts into a large, self-centering tapered seat and is locked in place by a large captured nut and a heavy steel drawbar for security. The spindle has a full 4" vertical travel to accommodate large and small cutters as well as using a portion of a cutters profile.
