Jet Tools JWP-15HH, JWP-15DX specs

The all-metal adjustable feed rollers, anti-kickback fingers and adjustable chip breaker make this an exceptionally safe and user-friendly planer.

To enhance operator safety, we added a row of closely spaced anti kickback fingers. These steel fingers are gravity operated and require no adjustment. They automatically engage the wood as it enters the cutterhead and help prevent it from being kicked out.

For the ultimate in dependability, we designed a serrated steel infeed roller and a smooth steel outfeed roller. Both rollers and the chip breaker are precisely set at the factory but have user accessible adjustments that make it easy to keep these planers perfectly tuned in years to come. We also included infeed and outfeed roller spring tension adjusters that are accessible without having to

disassemble the cutterhead housing covers. The operators’ manual included has a full set of illustrated instructions for making these adjustments.

Dual feed rates allow

quick dimensioning of the wood and then slowing the material speed for highly refined finish cuts.

The JET JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH have two material feed rates –20 FPM (Feet Per Minute) used primarily for rough dimensioning and 16 FPM to increase the cuts-per-inch to create a silky-smooth surface. A push/pull knob shifts between the feed rates on the fly. The rollers are driven by a gear and chain drive with an automatic chain tensioner, housed in a cast iron case. The gear section runs in an industrial style oil bath for maximum control over long-term wear.

Because the inserts and the seats into which they fit are so precisely machined, there is no adjustment or “fitting” necessary. Indexing or replacing an insert takes just seconds. Simply loosen the T25 Torx screw (wrench included), turn the insert to its new position and tighten the screw.

The durability of the carbide combined with the low impact, shear cutting action means they have an extremely long life that substantially exceeds that of straight blades. The potential life span of these carbide

Jet Tools has established itself as a prominent name in the woodworking industry, producing high-quality machinery designed for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists. Two of their standout products are the JWP-15DX and the JWP-15HH, both of which are exceptional planers known for their durability and performance.

The Jet JWP-15DX is a powerful 15-inch planer that efficiently handles a wide range of materials. One of its main features is the three-knife cutter head, which ensures a smooth finish and improved chip removal. This design allows for more cutting action with each pass, reducing the workload and time required for projects. Additionally, the JWP-15DX boasts a robust 3-horsepower motor, providing ample power for heavy-duty tasks while maintaining a consistent feed rate that enhances precision.

Another significant characteristic of the JWP-15DX is its adjustable depth control system, allowing woodworkers to make precise adjustments easily. The integrated digital readout provides clear visibility of the settings, ensuring users can effortlessly achieve the desired thickness. Furthermore, this planer features a table extension that provides support for larger workpieces, enhancing stability during operation.

On the other hand, the Jet JWP-15HH comes equipped with a helical cutter head, featuring 40 insert knives that deliver a superior finish and significantly reduce noise levels during operation. This technology allows for a smoother cut and less friction, resulting in extended tool life and reduced maintenance. The JWP-15HH also has a 3-horsepower motor, mirroring the JWP-15DX in power but taking performance a step further with its innovative cutter head design.

Both planers incorporate Jet's signature build quality, intended for long-lasting reliability in demanding environments. The adjustable infeed and outfeed tables enhance user convenience and ensure optimal performance when working with larger materials. Moreover, their dust collection ports allow for efficient debris removal, keeping the workspace cleaner and safer.

Overall, the Jet JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH stand out in their class with advanced features, innovative technologies, and excellent build quality, making them ideal choices for woodworkers looking to achieve professional results in their projects. Whether opting for the efficiency of a three-knife cutter head or the quiet performance of a helical design, both models deliver exceptional reliability and performance.
