708358 specifications

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. Its precise depth adjustment mechanism enables users to set the depth of cut from 1/16 inch up to a maximum of 1/8 inch. This feature is particularly useful when working with materials of different thicknesses, ensuring versatile operation without sacrificing accuracy.

Another notable technology integrated into the Jet 708358 is its helical cutter head. Unlike traditional straight blades, the helical design features multiple, staggered cutting edges that significantly reduce noise and provide a smoother finish on the workpiece. This cutter head also increases the lifespan of the knives, requiring less frequent replacements and maintenance.

The built-in dust collection system is another standout characteristic, featuring a 4-inch port that effectively removes wood shavings and debris from the work area. This not only keeps the workspace clean but also enhances visibility and safety during operation.

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.

Overall, the Jet Tools 708358 offers a combination of power, technology, and features that make it a top choice for woodworkers seeking reliable and high-quality performance in their planing tasks. With its exceptional cutting capabilities and user-oriented design, it stands as a trusted workhorse in any woodworking environment.
