Style: Helical Head Planer
Features
Description
The JET JWP-208HH Helical Head Planer quickly and quietly transforms rough lumber into smooth boards with a full 20-inch planing width and 8-inch height. Its heavy-duty cast iron and steel construction keeps the workpiece steady and supported, while the conveniently located two-speed gear box, with an automatic chain tensioner, allows for quick and easy feed rate adjustments. This machine means business with a powerful 5-HP induction motor, combined with a helical insert cutterhead housing 92 staggered carbide knives, for a superior finish and quieter cut. You’ll appreciate the sets of three steel infeed and outfeed rollers to help prevent annoying snipe. A large cast-iron precision-ground table with smooth-as-glass surface makes this planer a beautiful addition to the shop.
