JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer
A frustrating choice
woodworkers often face
is whether to get a jointer
or a planer first. That
choice is made more
difficult because these
machines compliment
each other to dimension,
square and smooth the
wood. The new JET JJP-
12 Jointer-Planer
eliminates that problem
and brings both
capabilities to your shop
in one accurate, durable and economical package.
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer brings two crucial woodworking processes,
jointing (left) and planing (right) to the shop in one space and money saving
package.
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is based on a heavy-duty, fully welded steel base cabinet
that houses the motor along with the planer table mechanism. The cabinet also provides
solid mounting for the associated controls as well as supporting the jointer table and
fence assemblies.
Power
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer features a 3HP, 230V,
12.5A, 1Ph TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor
that supplies consistent power to the cutterhead that is
used for both jointing and planing operations as well as
the feed roller system in the planer mode. The belts and
feed roller drive chain systems are contained within the
cabinet but readily accessible through the large
removable panel on the cabinet rear.
To protect the motor – and you – we include a
magnetic On/Off switch with a built-in limiter. This
switch prevents excessive variances in the electrical power from damaging the motor.
Another benefit of a magnetic switch is that should the power go out and then come back
on the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer will not restart on its own. The On button must be
pushed after power is restored to start the machine. The limit switch also prevents
machine startup while changing modes of operation.
The 3 HP motor and drives are contained
in the cabinet but accessible through a
removable rear panel.
