Jet Planer JWP-15B, 15'' Straight Knife

For projects that require board thickness to be beyond exact, the Jet 15'' Straight Knife planer gets the job done with ease. This sweet machine features a monster 3-horsepower motor with a two-speed gear box so you can adjust the feed rate for optimal finish quality. The innovative Precision Air Strut System (PASS™) provides consistent upward pressure on the cutterhead, reducing the chance of board snipe. Its rock-solid table is constructed of cast iron and features steel infeed and outfeed tables that conveniently fold out of the way. And because even the coolest power planer is one of the messiest machines on the planet, Jet's angled 4'' dust port allows easy connection to your shop’s dust collection system.
