diameter cast iron handwheel with spinner handle drives the height adjustment mechanism. Each full revolution of the handwheel produces just over 1/16” of change to make the ultra fine adjustments necessary to hit a specific thickness easy to achieve. Though unlikely, the lead screws can be adjusted individually should the table ever get out of alignment.

situation.

The table is locked in place by a knob at each end that locks the table to the lead screw at that end. The locking handles can be moved to either side of the JET JWP-15DX and JWP- 15HH to make them more easily accessible if one side has limited access in your

A pair of rollers set into the primary table surface below the cutterhead help maintain smooth movement of rough stock through the JET JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH. The above table height of the rollers is easily adjustable.

We also include a pair of 14”-long by 15 1/2”-wide roller extension tables that increase the overall table surface to 48” in length. The extension tables mount to the primary table with bolts but have set screws below each of them that allow precise alignment of the rollers to the primary table. This is a far more efficient system than trying to shim the extension tables to bring them into alignment with the primary table surface.

Note: The JWP-15HH planer comes with solid cast iron extension tables in place of the roller versions supplied with the JWP-15DX. The cast iron extension tables mount identically to the roller versions.

To make moving the stock from one side of the JET JWP- 15DX and JWP-15HH to the other for repeat cuts easier we added a pair of material rollers to the cutterhead housing. The iron rollers put the often-heavy stock at a comfortable 43 1/2“ above the floor.

If you are considering adding the power, accuracy and durability of a stationary planer to your shop, the value- packed JET JWP-15DX and JET JWP-15HH should be at the top of your must see list!

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.
