Description

The JET JWP-208-1 Planer quickly and quietly transforms rough lumber into smooth boards with a full 20" planing width. Its heavy-duty cast iron and steel construction keeps the workpiece steady and supported, while the conveniently located two-speed gear box with automatic chain tensioner allows for quick and easy feed rate adjustments. This machine means business with a powerful 3 HP induction motor. You'll appreciate the sets of three steel infeed and outfeed rollers to help prevent annoying snipe. A large cast-iron table with smooth-as-glass surface makes this planer a beautiful addition to the shop. And since planers kick up a lot of dust, we made dust collection easy with an exclusive angled 4" dust port to keep your hose out of the way. Power and production are what you get with this beauty of a planer from Jet. The 3 horsepower, single-phase, 230-volt motor gives you 5,000 rpm for a total of 20,000 cuts per minute via the four-knife cutterhead, turning raw lumber into smooth, ready-to-work boards in minutes. Professionals will love this planer’s fantastic capacity, with a full 20 inches of width and 6 inches under the cutterhead and a full-width max depth of cut of 3/32-inch. The gear box has two feed speeds, easily set by pulling out or pushing in a lever while the planer is running. There are three rugged steel infeed rollers that grab hold of the stock for you, paired with three rubber outfeed rollers that won’t mar your piece. Anti-kickback fingers operate by gravity, keeping stock from being thrown back at you. A large handwheel makes depth changes an easy task, turning smoothly and moving the table surface is .059" with each complete revolution. Yes, the table surface. Instead of the cutterhead coming down to the work, the work moves up to the stationary cutterhead. It seemed a bit unconventional, but the end result is flawless, so we have no beef with it, except for the fact that it makes difficult the job of building auxiliary feed tables. The depth scale is clear and legible, marked in increments of 1/16-inch. We like the sturdy return rollers mounted on top, giving you a great place to rest the stock and giving your arms and back a break on the trip back to the infeed side. This is a beautifully made machine, with the fit and finish you’d expect in this price category, form the one-piece welded base to the serrated infeed rollers and the glass-like table surface. To keep the tables pristine, you’ll want to apply talcum power with a blackboard eraser once a week – use plenty of elbow grease. The table will stay slick and protected, and your workpieces won’t pick up any discoloration from the powder. This is a dream planer for the home woodworker, and it will be the staple in any professional’s workshop. Well done, Jet.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteWhat's in the Box Includes 24-volt magnetic controls, four high-speed steel knives, dust hood, extension rollers, two-speed gearbox, return rollers, knife-setting gauge, and one-piece welded base P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Manufacturer Powerful 3 hp, 1-phase, 230-volt motor produces 5,000 rpm and 20,000 cuts per minute.

  • Very nice with one little exception.
Style: Planer
Fortunately this beast comes fully assembled except for the infeed and outfeed table and arrived in excellent shape due to the good crating at the factory. It is already setup at the factory and I did not have to make any adjustments. Operation is intuitive and fit and finish on the machine is very nice. The only problem I saw was on my first use. A large chip of wood flew up and hit the outbound chip deflector and broke it because it is made of plastic. Personally I think it should have been made of metal to avoid this problem as I think it will happen again. On the plus side, I called JET and they were very helpful and happy to send the replacement part without any argument. Even with the plastic chip deflector I would highly recommend this machine for several reasons. First, it does a great job as a planer with a full 20" planing width (the blades are a little wider than 20"), second, I find it well assembled and a heavy duty machine, third, obviously great support after the sale, and fourth, I couldn't beat Amazon's price anywhere and you can't get any better deal than free freight especially since we are talking over 700 lbs. ... show more

  • don't buy this unless you hate yourself
Style: Planer
Mine was missing the 4 set screws from the factory that set the bottom rollers. Jet sent me those. Now the machine still does not plane level. No even close. This is a massive disappointment and will never own another jet product. My DeWalt 13 lunch box planer was far more accurate than this. Update jet has now sent me the parts for a new n feed roller and new table rollers I never imagined in the one year I've owned this machine but I've had to make five repairs on it and it's still barely works when all the stars are aligned I would run from this planer run as fast as you can. ... show more

  • Dust Collection Bites
Style: Planer
Planes good but the dust collection sucks. The description states it has a five inch dust port. I purchased a five in to four inch reducer but the five inch dust port is not 5 inches it actually is closer to 5 1/4 OD. None of the three adapters I purchased worked. So have a had to create a make-shift reducer and it don't work very well. The seller was no help at all. Don't buy Jet go with a PowerMatic and buy from someone that offer decent customer service.. ... show more

  • No plug provided, but i still think it is awesome
Style: Planer
First off, I'm not taking a star away, just pointing out, THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A PLUG! It has wires for one, but you'll need to buy a compatible plug and wire it yourself or go the direct wire route. I can't tell you much about this step, as a dear friend of mine did it for me. This is the most expensive machine in my shop, only to soon be slightly surpassed by my future lathe purchase. I'm so glad I went through with it. It comes precisely configured. The only thing you'll really have to do is assemble a handle, attach the roller infeed/outfeed extensions, attach the dust duct, and deal with the plug, which i explained earlier. I have used it a few dozen times now, and have consistently gotten roughly milled lumber down to 1,000th to 100th of an inch variance in height. Practically unnoticeable. That super small variance could have many explanations, but I'm happy with it ^_^. Edit, ived used it for almost 55 hours now. I do notice more variation in the accuracy. Overall though I still love and recommend it. I've used it a lot for getting cutting boards and table tops down to the right height. ... show more

  • A Winner...
Style: Planer
A nice Planer from Jet...Arrives assembled, ready to use within minutes after arrival. Cuts efficiently, I like the top rollers for moving your stock quickly back into feed. We milled Log Slabs one afternoon, taking just a few minutes from "chainsaw cut" down to "ready for final sanding". I have been very pleased with this planer, although it is not a daily use tool for me, I feel it has performed well. The only thing that causes any problem is that the feed table raises and lowers with thickness adjustments (Rather than the cutter assembly)...So I cannot easily build an outfeed table, since it too, would have to move with the planer table. Therefore, it is necessary to have two people planing large pieces. But, a good planer for the price...and free shipping! That makes it tough to beat. ... show more

  • Jet Planer
Style: Planer
Looked for a long time at making this purchase and this was the best price that I had found. The planer was shipped within two days and the driver even put it in my shop for me. Set it up and run some stock through the machine and WOW what a nice planer could not be happier.

Style: Planer
It's done an excellent job plenty of power. I've planned some 20 inch wide cedar boards that were 2 inches thick it handled them with no problem.
