The JET JWP 12 machine is intended for mechanical processing of wood. Through knives performs planing and grinding operations. A portable thicknesser can work on the road and in a small workshop. In practice, this equipment has established itself as a reliable hardy machine.
Despite its small dimensions, it passes through significant amounts of wood material. The machine has no automatic feed system. The operator feeds the workpiece himself and receives a planed tree.
Advantages of the machine
Cabinet makers have a constant need to calibrate a large amount of lumber. In a small workshop, the JET JWP 12 thickness planer is simply irreplaceable. The electric machine has all the necessary parameters for this type of work. The unit evens out the thickness of the wooden blanks, bringing their surface to a perfect smooth state. Along with this, the machine is mobile, it can be easily transported. Two handles are located on the sides of the housing for transfer.
The JET JWP 12 thickness planer is intended only for the processing of wood lumber. In no case should you experiment with other materials - this will lead to damage to the machine.

Design
When creating this model, the manufacturer took into account the operating conditions of the unit in small rooms. The dimensions of the machine allow you to move it to any place. The machine’s construction is equipped with standard components corresponding to the class of this type of equipment. JET JWP 12 nodes include the following:
- a planing unit, consisting of a cutting shaft and feed rubber rollers, is located in the upper part of the housing. For safe operation, claws are installed that block the reverse flow of wood;
- The electric motor is controlled by the processing speed setting system. The control buttons are located on the front of the machine;
- the elevator mechanism controls the depth of the workpiece. By rotating the handle located at the top of the unit, the desired height of the working surface of the cutting shaft is achieved. The scale on the front panel indicates the depth of planing;
- working tables - receiving and feeding planes. Constant monitoring of their horizontal position is required.
Scope of delivery
The package contains: the machine itself, user manual, warranty card, power cord, a funnel for suctioning chips and two spare knives. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not complete the delivery with additional pulling shafts, which quickly become unusable.
