Best Jet 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 (only) 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 motor power is delivered to the cutterhead with a drive belt for smooth, consistent operation. The cutterhead spins at 9000 RPM to give the best overall performance with the various wood species and grain types you may encounter. The motor also powers the feed rollers for the planning function using a chain drive. The entire drive system is enclosed within a housing that keeps you safe while helping to protect the mechanism from dust contamination. The cast aluminum jointing table is 29" long and 8-1/4" wide overall. The table surface 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 extruded aluminum fence is 4-1/8" tall and 21" long. The fence can be used at 90 degrees to the table surface for squaring stock or it can be tilted up to 45-degrees (right) for bevel cuts. The fence is locked in place with an easy-to-use handle on the rear. 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 curre
