JET JWP-15DX & JWP-15HH, 15” Planers
The ability to create accurately dimensioned wood with
parallel faces is crucial to virtually any woodworking task.
Producing an ultra smooth, tear out free surface at the same
time is a welcomed bonus. The JET JWP-15DX and JWP-
15HH have been designed to handle these tasks with the
accuracy, durability and repeatability you want. Robust
construction, a powerful motor, a rock solid table and a user-
friendly knife changing system gives these planers the
durability and value you need.
Built around a fully enclosed, welded steel base cabinet, the
JET JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH use several precisely
machined iron castings to insure durability and precise,
repeatable operation. A heavy-duty caster system built into
the base makes moving the 517-lb JET JWP-15DX around the shop easy. A foot-operated
brake locks the casters to keep it stationary during use.
The JET JWP-15DX is designed
to be accurate, easy to use,
durable and economical.
Should lifting be necessary, four pull-out rods are built into
the cast iron base. These rods provide safe lifting points for
straps or forklift arms.
Motor power is delivered
through a gang of three v-belts
running in precisely machined
pulleys.
A powerful 3HP, (continuous duty rating) 1PH, 230V TEFC
(totally enclosed fan cooled) motor is mounted within the base
cabinet. Power is transmitted to the fixed cast iron cutterhead
housing by three v-belts that turn precision-machined pulleys.
A full-length belt cover is easily removed for maintenance by
spinning off a pair of finger-operated knobs. The motor is
operated and protected by a true magnetic switch mounted on
the head assembly within easy reach.
Quick-Change Knife System
The JWP-15DX features 3 knives and our "Quick change knife system". The
knives each have 2 cutting edges so that they can be flipped when one side becomes
damaged or dull. The savings in time and money this feature brings is obvious, but there
is more.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
Summary
An important feature of the JET JWP-15DX is how easily the knives are changed and set. A specially designed mounting and alignment system eliminates one of the most frustrating aspects of using many planers - changing and aligning its knives. When a knife becomes dull or damaged all one has to do is...
While the JET JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH are capable of 3/16”-deep cuts on most stock widths, a limiter plate at the center of the cutterhead that limits full-width cuts to 1/8” or less. Controlling full-width cut depth avoids applying excessive strain to the machine but also prevents damaging the wood. ...
diameter cast iron handwheel with spinner handle drives the height adjustment mechanism. Each full revolution of the handwheel produces just over 1/16” of change to make the ultra fine adjustments necessary to hit a specific thickness easy to achieve. Though unlikely, the lead screws can be adjusted...
