Product description

Are you ready for a jointer that gets the wood flat and straight every time? The JET 708457K JJ-6CSX 6-Inch 1 HP Jointer, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase offers a precision-machined, extra-long cast-iron table to ensure accuracy you can trust. An ideal choice for your shop, this high-performance machine includes an exclusive auto-set quick change knife system to save you time and help increase productivity.

Industrial-Style Hand Wheels for Smooth Adjustments

The JJ-6CSX boasts a unique design that allows you to adjust both of the feed tables simply by rotating industrial-style hand wheels that turn smoothly and easily. This feature allows for easier tapers and enhances user control when taking precise, fine measurements as low as 1/64 of an inch.

Smooth Gliding Fence Offers Multiple Stops

Additionally, the fence glides smoothly throughout its complete range of motion and tilts both ways with the traditional stops at 45 and 90 degrees to handle bevel operations. This also allows you to quickly reproduce multiple cuts at any angle.

Steel Knife Cutter Head for Speed; Cast-Iron Table for Accuracy

One of the most innovative aspects of the JJ-6CSX's design is the triple-bladed, high-speed steel knife cutter head, which delivers rapid cutting and a superior finish for high-quality results. The blades are part of an exclusive auto-set quick-change knife system, which allows you to replace or change all three blades in a fraction of the time other machines take.

Powerful 1 HP Motor and Rabbeting Ledge for Versatility

Equipped with a powerful 1 HP motor, the JJ-6CSX easily handles a wide range of jobs. A built-in rabbeting ledge also lends versatility, while a heavy-duty, one-piece steel closed stand includes mounting tabs for increased stability, so you can easily handle different wood types and sizes.

User-Friendly Controls and Features

Designed to be extremely user-friendly, the JJ-6CSX features industrial push-button controls conveniently placed throughout for easy access. In addition, the center fence controls are conveniently mounted to allow quick adjustments, and a built-in dust chute with four-inch port quickly connects to your collection system for efficient dust and chip disposal.

The JJ-6CSX weighs 215 pounds and comes with a five-year warranty.

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products

Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

The innovative JET JJP-12HH Helical Head 12" Jointer/Planer takes our award-winning jointer/planer combination machine and makes it an ever better investment. With the addition of our quality helical cutter head with indexable carbide inserts, the all-new JJP-12HH sets the standard for creating superior stock in your own workshop.

Combining a jointer and a planer into one machine, Jet's 12-inch JJP-12HH adds a helical cutterhead with indexable carbide inserts for a superior finish and quieter cut. Because it has no protruding knives, the helical cutterhead minimizes the clutter of chips flinging out from the machine--and it also greatly reduces tearout. It requires no tuning of individual knives since the cutterhead is fixed. Additionally, the innovative parallelogram design keeps the table close to the cutterhead, allowing for precise depth-of-cut adjustments.

Versatile Combination Saves Space and Time

Whether building a backyard deck or a commercial structure, the Jet JJP-12HH 12-inch planer/jointer provides all-in-one precision-cut capability to help get your job done quicker. This machine makes a no-tool switch from jointer to planer in just a few quick motions, allowing you the capabilities of both machines without compromising your work space.

Both functions offer a full 12-inch width capacity and 55-inch tables, so no extra ripping process is needed when you switch between modes. And, in addition to its compact bench-top design, a rugged steel stand is included for those times floor positioning is more convenient.

Easy-Handling Adjustments for Maximum Accuracy

The Jet JJP-12HH's oversized hand wheel and knobs fit comfortably in your hand, allowing for extremely fine-tuned adjustments. The wide-spaced handles make it easy to stabilize stock to the heavy-duty, 43-inch-by-6-inch fence. Particularly handy for complex projects, the fence stays in place between function changes and sets easily for bevel cuts up to 45 degrees.

Expert Materials Offer Enhanced Operation

The Jet JJP-12HH runs on a heavy-duty 3-horsepower, 12.5-amp motor, supplying the power you need for a variety of cutting applications. Its table top is precision-flattened to ensure a smooth, even cut. The tough, cast-iron infeed and outfeed tables adjust individually to give the work piece superior support. Cutting is performed by the helical cutterhead with 56 inserts.

The JJP-12HH also includes a premium dust collection shroud, which rotates in both settings and has a standard four-inch outlet port, allowing for efficient dust collection that cuts your clean-up time to a minimum.

Top-Notch Features for Safe, Consistent Woodworking

During jointer operation, the bridge-style cutter guard's base-located adjustment knob allows wood to pass evenly beneath the guard, preventing you from pushing down directly over the cutter. The planer function's cutter head prevents kickback with gravity-operated fingers, while its metal infeed roller and rubber-coated outfeed roller maintain a consistent non-marring feed rate.

For both operation modes, the JJP-12HH features self-engaging locks that fall into place when you make the switch between functions for optimal security. For additional safety, the magnetic on/off switch has a built-in limiter to prevent start-up after power outages and while you switch between modes.

The JJP-12HH is backed by a five-year warranty.

User questions & answers

Question:	How close to the wall can I get this? If it’s as close as possible, how far does it stick out
Answer:	The is my second machine (had to return the first one for other reasons), but on both the prior unit and this unit, the fence gets pulled out of square when you tighten the knobs on top. It doesn't seem to matter if the side knobs are loose or tight the when I set the top knobs. For me its pulling the top portion of the fence out of square by what appears to be about a 1/16". Jet is sending out a local tech to assess. I will update this if I have more info.
Question:	How much does it weigh
Answer:	It depend on the color pad
Question:	After the coplaner adjustments have been made will it stay coplaner
Answer:	Yes ,
Question:	Has anyone had trouble with the fence being perpendicular to table
Answer:	This is a high speed burnisher, it is not used for stripping floors.

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:	Is this jointer / planer belt driven
Answer:	Well, your thoughts on who this is designed for seems a bit sarcastic. I ordered this by looking at my height and weight. I am 5'11" and weigh 172 pounds. If you look at the chart, that is a US Medium. It fits surprisingly well. You do not say anything about your weight and height. Therefore, I leave it up to you to decide based on how tall you are and your weight. I have at least SIX of these in this size and I see no variation in quality and fit.
Question:	I have a 20 amp, 120 volt outlets in my garage. I can buy a voltage converter to get 240 volts. Will the machine draw more than 10 amps at 240 volts
Answer:	Yes we have black. Should be back in stock soon. Email Josh @ KafGrooming .com to be added to waitlist.
Question:	Can this run off of a standard grounded 110v outlet? The specs here indicate that it can, but reviews and the manual from JET's website mention 220v
Answer:	It will turn your skin black if you use a lot and get it directly on the skin. With a crew cut it would be hard to not get it directly on this skin.
Question:	Can you upgrade to the segmented cutterhead in the future? If so, where can one be found
Answer:	The product comes out as a cream base. If you have tried out American Select Styling cream it is very similar to this consistency

JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer

A frustrating choice woodworkers often face is whether to get a jointer or a planer first. That choice is made more difficult because these machines compliment each other to dimension, square and smooth the wood. The new JET JJP- 12 Jointer-Planer eliminates that problem and brings both capabilities to your shop in one accurate, durable and economical package.

The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is based on a heavy-duty, fully welded steel base cabinet that houses the motor along with the planer table mechanism. The cabinet also provides solid mounting for the associated controls as well as supporting the jointer table and fence assemblies.

Features:

The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer features a 3HP, 230V, 12.5A, 1Ph TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor that supplies consistent power to the cutterhead that issused for both jointing and planing operations as well as the feed roller system in the planer mode. The belts and feed roller drive chain systems are contained within the cabinet but readily accessible through the large removable panel on the cabinet rear.

To protect the motor – and you – we include a magnetic On/Off switch with a built-in limiter. This switch prevents excessive variances in the electrical power from damaging the motor.

Another benefit of a magnetic switch is that should the power go out and then come back on the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer will not restart on its own. The On button must be pushed after power is restored to start the machine. The limit switch also prevents machine startup while changing modes of operation.

Capacities

To make the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer as capable as it is versatile, the jointing and planing width capacity is a full 12”. That capacity allows you to work with wider boards without having to rip them down to fit common jointer widths in the 6 to 8” range. Because both the jointer and planer width capacities are the same, you can move between those modes without having to add an additional ripping step to the process.

3-Knife Cutterhead

The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer uses a large 2 ¾”-diameter cutterhead fitted with three high quality knives for both jointing and planing operations. The cutterhead turns at 5500 RPM for all operations. The knives are retained with conventional wedge bars and have jacking screws that make setting their height precisely much easier. Because this cutterhead is used for both jointing and planing, setting the knives one time is all that is required.

Changing Modes

From the beginning, along with accuracy, capacity and durability, developing a fast, easy way to change between jointing and planing modes was high on the design criteria list. The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer sports a very simple, tool-free hinge based system that allows changing between jointing and planing modes very quickly without having to remove any components.

A pair of locking levers on the cabinet sides release the jointing bed which is then rotated up to expose the planer section. Lifting the cast iron jointer bed assembly (moves as one piece) is made easier because of spring-assisted hinges that reduce that effort substantially. A drop in lock at the hinge point secures the jointer bed in the upright position.

The dust collection shroud with its 4”-diameter outlet port is also hinged for use in both the jointing and planing modes. The shroud has an internal, gravity-operated baffle plate that helps direct the collection vacuum for maximum effectiveness. When the jointer bed is up, the dust shroud is rotated up into a very traditional location for planer dust evacuation. The planer section is now ready for use.

To go back to the jointer mode, rotate the dust shroud down, release the jointer table lock, lower the table into position and then engage the two locking levers. The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is ready for jointing operations in seconds.

Jointer Mode

Because both the machine modes use the same 12” cutterhead, the jointer section is capable of face jointing 12”-wide stock. The 55”-long by 12”-wide cast iron infeed and outfeed tables provide plenty of support for the big project pieces.

The infeed and outfeed cast iron tables are individually adjustable for height for the most flexibility. The maximum cut depth is 1/8”. To insure long-term accuracy, we even included full coplanar adjustment capability and complete instructions in the manual for making this adjustment should it become necessary. The 43”-long by 6”-tall extruded aluminum smooth faced fence makes accurate jointing easy.

The fence is fully adjustable for material width using a pair of wide spread levers for maximum stability. The fence face can be set to any angle from 0 to 45-degrees for precise bevel cuts. A handy bevel scale and pointer are included on the fence mount.

Planer Mode

The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is a fully capable thickness planer with a 12”-cut width and handles a whopping 8 ¾” maximum material thickness. The maximum full-width cut depth is 1/8” with 5/32” being the maximum cut on narrower stock. Naturally, lighter cuts put less stress on the wood itself and often produce much better results. The 5500 RPM cutterhead speed means a constant 20 FPM feed rate is a good balance between quick material removal and a clean, smooth surface.

In planer mode the material feed roller system is engaged by moving an exterior handle to the On position. That produces a material feed rate of 20 FPM. (feet per minute) The control lever is moved to the Off position when the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is changed to the jointing mode.

The cutterhead assembly is fixed and includes a row of gravity-operated anti-kickback fingers for safety. A serrated metal feed roller is designed to resist contamination and maintain a consistent material feed rate for the best results. A rubber-covered outfeed roller keeps the stock moving without marring the freshly planed surface. The 21 ¼” by 12” planer table adjusts up and down through a large handwheel (with spinner handle) on the infeed end of the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer while in planer mode.

A scale on the handwheel hub shows the amount of change partial turns create while a full height scale with pointer shows overall cutter to table distance. The planer table is locked with a lever-type handle.

The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer was designed to bring the much needed jointing and planing capabilities to your shop in a single, space-saving 55”-long by 39 ½”-tall (top of fence) and 32”-deep (fence at its widest setting) package. Because of its space saving design and our focus on accuracy, function and durability, the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is as economical as it is versatile.
