Key Features & Benefits

• Exclusive JET Black Coating: Applied to heavy-duty cast iron table surfaces, providing exceptional corrosion resistance, smooth board gliding, and lasting durability under daily shop use.
• 36-Insert Helical Cutterhead: Outperforms traditional straight-knife jointers by delivering smoother, tearout-free cuts on hard and figured woods. Operates more quietly and features individual carbide inserts (0.59” x 0.59” x 0.10”) that rotate easily for low-cost maintenance.
• Wide 8-Inch Capacity: Handles up to an 8-inch cutting width and a full 1/8-inch maximum depth of cut, allowing you to square the wide boards your projects actually require.
• 2 HP Heavy-Duty Induction Motor: Prewired for 230V single-phase power, this industrial motor easily handles heavy startup loads and maintains full cutting speed under load where smaller motors trip.
• Extra-Long 70-7/8” Cast Iron Table: Extended infeed and outfeed tables (34-11/16” each) absorb vibration, resist flex, and keep long, heavy boards securely supported for flat surfaces from end to end.
• Versatile Tilting Fence System: The large 40-1/2” x 5” fence features positive stops at 45° left, 90°, and 45° right (135° total tilt) for fast, repeatable bevel jointing and edge work.
• Shop-Ready Certification: Fully CSA/cUS listed, shipping complete with official certification paperwork for commercial shop compliance and safety officer inspections.
