You don't have to choose between buying a jointer or a planer--with the JPJ-12B, you can have both. Leave it to JET to design a machine that allows quick changeover between jointing and planing functions. This versatile machine features an extra-large aluminum extruded fence with centered controls for quick adjustments, a built-in dust chute capable of handling both planing and jointing operations, and a powerful 3-horsepower motor that can handle the toughest lumber. A heavy-duty, fully welded steel base cabinet houses the motor and the planer table mechanism, while providing solid mounting for the associated controls and support for the jointer table and fence assemblies. Best of all, the fence can stay put when changing over functions.
42 four-sided carbide insert cutterhead provides rapid cutting and a superior finish

Quick changeover between jointing and planing functions (Fence does not need to be removed)
Parallelogram design keeps the table close to the cutterhead and allows for precise depth of cut adjustments
