The jet jointer planer is 3 hp cast iron and can change from one technique to another in less than a minute. Combination machines have been the norm in europe for decades but they re becoming more popular stateside. One of the biggest problem faced by hobbyists diyer s and even some professional woodworkers is a limited workshop or working space. Using a combo tool helps you create boards and sheets that are perfectly smooth as well as even and level.

If you re thinking about getting one for use in your woodworking shop then you should read this guide. Combination jointer planers have shorter beds than stand alone jointers so working with boards longer than 6 on the 12 machines and 4 on the 10 model can be cumbersome. It s a machine that converts from a jointer to a planer and it uses a single cutter head for both operations. The primary difference between jointer and planer tools is that a jointer shores up the edges on a piece of wood while a planer removes a portion of the thickness from that wood.

And for good reason beyond just saving space.
