User questions & answers

Question:	Can this jointer be attached to a 2 1/2 vac
Answer:	yes with a reducing adapter on your 2 1/2 vac
Question:	What is the recommended maximum board length that should be used with this jointer
Answer:	Maximum board length will depend on the strength of the operator and if/how well the jointer is anchored. I would think 8’ would be doable by most. Comes down to how well you can hold the workpiece down flat on roughly 16” of table before the blade.
Question:	What is the difference betwee the pc160jt and the pc160jtr
Answer:	Hello Kimberly, there is no difference. The actual model number is PC160JT. The JTR is a typo on Amazon. Porter Cable does not make a PC160JTR. Best Wishes!Tomboysupply.com
Question:	What material are the fence and table made out of
Answer:	I am 99% certan that the tables are cast aluminum, and the fence is aluminum. The weight, color and feel make this pretty evident. If it were cast iron it would weigh twice as much and be prone to rust. This jointer is as good functionally as any other. But because of its light weight it must be secured to a stable heavy base. It also needs a bit more tuning than other models. But if you are going to own any precision tools that is something you should become capable of.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of the Jointer itself, not the package dimensions
Answer:	The saw can easily cut the full width of a 12" board when making a 90 degree straight or bevel cut. Angle cuts will reduce the maximum span of the cut.
Question:	How long is it from end to end of the in- and out-feed tables
Answer:	No.but I am surprised at the quality for the price.
Question:	how much does it weigh
Answer:	Maximum speed (rpm) 5000 RPM Arbor size 5/8 in. According to the tech specs in the description
Question:	how wide is the cut
Answer:	In theory it should be able to cut boards up to 12" wide, however the quality was so poor, it was literally falling apart out of the box and I never powered it up and returned it out of safety concerns.

User questions & answers

Question:	I realize the table is only 30” long but after developing some experience using this jointer, how long could a board be that you flatten
Answer:	Hope this helps... A jointer or in some configurations, a jointer-planer is a woodworking machine used to produce a flat surface along a board's length. As a jointer, the machine operates on the narrow edge of boards, preparing them for use as butt joints or gluing into panels. A planer-jointer setup has the width that enables smoothing ' and leveling the faces of boards small enough to fit the tables.
Question:	can the HSS cutters be replaced with carbide cutters
Answer:	The scale is on the top right corner
Question:	What is the base made of
Answer:	Yes, this has a 7/16" x 20 internally threaded drawbar end for Bridgeport type milling machines.
Question:	Is this jt630h have a case iron base
Answer:	The head on this fly cutter is 2 1/2 inches. There is not a factory spec on this holder. I would expect it to be around 2 3/4 inches.
