For projects that require board thickness to be beyond exact, the JET 15-Inch Straight Knife Planer gets the job done with ease. This sweet machine features a three-horsepower motor with two-speed gear box to adjust your feed rate for a better finished surface. The innovative Precision Air Strut System (PASS) provides consistent upward pressure on the cutterhead, reducing the chance of board snipe. The rock-solid table is constructed of cast iron and features steel infeed/outfeed table extensions that conveniently fold out of the way. Finally, because even the coolest power planer is one of the messiest machines on the planet, JET’s angled 4-inch dust port keeps your dust hose out of the way for easy hookup to your shop’s dust collection system.
