Amazon.com Review
A 16 amp motor and four post locks make JET's 12-1/2-inch portable planer a high-powered, remarkably sturdy shop tool. JET's planer uses two double-edged knives, which you can also sharpen to make your blades last. A thermal overload switch monitors the tool's motor, automatically shutting it down if the motor heats up more than it should--another nice feature that adds life to a planer. The cutterhead cranks up to handle 6-inch material, or cranks down to clean up veneer as thin as 1/16 inch. The tool weighs 69 pounds, so it has good heft and stability while remaining "portable." When the planer is not in use, the 10-inch extension wings fold up for storage. Two pass-back rollers on top of the planer make it easy for a spotter to slide longer pieces back to the guy feeding the planer; it's not a big deal, perhaps, but it's the sort of attention to detail we've come to expect from JET. Here's another: the on/off switch detaches, so you can lock the planer in the off position when it's not in use, keeping your workshop safe from curious hands. --Jon Groebner


From the Manufacturer
You get added stability and accuracy with the four-post support system on this 12-1/2-inch portable planer. The powerful 16 amp motor powers the cutterhead and feed rollers simultaneously, ensuring optimum planing under various conditions. The high-speed steel knives can be resharpened and easily replaced, and the large hand wheel allows quick and easy adjustment of cutterhead height. Table rollers reduce friction, allowing a smooth feed rate and better finish, while the adjustable extension tables include a roller to assist in feeding stock and virtually eliminate snipe. Your planer purchase includes an adjustable table with rollers, two high-speed, double-edged steel knives, extension tables, UL safety switch, and two steel return rollers.
