Stand Shelf

You can make an extra shelf that rests between the legs if you wish, see Figure 3. It will be useful for storing lathe accessories, or adding sand bags for some extra weight. The two 2x4’s should be 55-3/4” long. The plywood should be ripped into two equal pieces 27-13/16”L x 17”W so that it can be assembled between the legs. Use screws to attach the plywood to the 2x4 supports.

The Jet Tools 708358 is a powerful and reliable 15-Inch Planer, designed for both professional woodworkers and serious DIY enthusiasts. This robust machine combines advanced features with efficient performance, making it a valuable addition to any workshop.

One of the key highlights of the Jet 708358 is its powerful 3 HP motor, which operates at a 230V power supply. This motor provides the necessary torque to handle dense hardwoods and ensures consistent performance across a variety of applications. The combination of this motor and high-quality components makes it an excellent choice for those looking to achieve precision and speed in their woodworking tasks.

The Jet 708358 features a massive 15-inch cutting width, allowing users to tackle larger workpieces with ease.

Additionally, the Jet 708358 is equipped with a user-friendly control panel, featuring easy-to-read depth adjustment levers and a convenient on/off switch. The sturdy, cast-iron frame ensures stability and reduces vibration, contributing to the accuracy and quality of every cut.
