Any woodworker, whether building a backyard deck or a commercial structure, will appreciate the Jet JJP-12's all-in-one, precision-cut capability. This machine makes a no-tool switch from jointer to planer in just a few quick motions, allowing you the capabilities of both machines without compromising your work space.
Both functions offer a full 12-inch width capacity and 55-inch tables, so no extra ripping process is needed when you switch between modes. And, in addition to its compact bench-top design, a rugged steel stand is included for those times floor positioning is more convenient.
Easy-Handling Adjustments for Maximum Accuracy
The Jet JJP-12's oversized handwheel and knobs fit comfortably in your hand, allowing for extremely fine-tuned adjustments. The wide-spaced handles make it easy to stabilize stock to the heavy-duty, 43-by-6-inch fence. Particularly handy for complex projects, the fence stays in place between function changes and sets easily for bevel cuts up to 45 degrees.
Expert Materials Offer Enhanced Operation
The Jet JJP-12 runs on a heavy-duty 13 Amp motor, supplying the power you need for a variety of cutting applications. Its table top is precision-flattened to ensure a smooth, even cut. The tough, cast-iron infeed and outfeed tables adjust individually to give the work piece superior support. Cutting is performed with three top-quality knives, which are fitted to the high-speed steel cutter head.
The JJP-12 also includes a premium dust collection shroud, which rotates in both settings and has a standard four-inch outlet port, allowing for efficient dust collection that cuts your clean-up time to a minimum.
Top-Notch Features for Safe, Consistent Woodworking
During jointer operation, the bridge-style cutter guard's base-located adjustment knob allows wood to pass evenly beneath the guard, preventing you from pushing down directly over the cutter. The planer function's cutter head prevents kickback with gravity-operated fingers, while its metal infeed roller and rubber-coated outfeed roller maintain a consistent non-marring feed rate.
For both operation modes, security is a no-brainer, thanks to the self-engaging locks that fall into place when you make the switch between functions. For your additional safety, the magnetic on/off switch has a built-in limiter to prevent start-up after power outages and while you switch between modes.
The JJP-12 is backed by a five year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of JET JJP-12 12-Inch Jointer Planer
Customer Review: I like it more each time I use it.
Summary: 5 Stars
This item was delivered to my house a few days before the estimated time of arrival which made me happy. The shipping crate had an interesting "tilt" indicator which showed the crate had not been dropped or laid on a side. The only thing I did not initially like about this machine was the crudely finished surfaces on that jointer table. As noted by another reviewer the table surface has a wavy grooved texture. I found some areas of this to be so rough it pulled the fibers out of the cleaning cloth I was using to remove the protective coating. The distal end of the table seemed to have a rough bur on it that made it harder to push boards across. I finally took my sander and file and went over the entire surface. After that and a couple coats of wax the jointer surface is almost as nice as my more polished table saw surface. Due to the rough finish of table surfaces I was going to give this machine only 4 stars, but that was over a month ago and I've been using it so much I had almost forgotten my initial reaction to it. I'm giving the machine 5 stars now based on how it works and the product that comes out it. The boards I've jointed and planed have had no problems, the machine works just like it is supposed to. I did not have to do any adjustments and could use the factory settings without any problems. The thing I like best about this machine is how fast I can switch from jointer to planer. I can easily do this in less than 30 seconds. That is less time it took me to pull out and set up my portable planer. This machine replaces a 6" jointer and 12" portable planer I had been using for years. Before buying the Jet I was concerned that I already had a 12" planer so why get another. Even though I think the portable 12" planer gave a nicer finish, I find the Jet combo machine easier and faster to use (and much better dust collection design). One other thing I found I like about this Jet is the space it takes up is less than specified in the product description. I found I can remove the blade guard and slide the jointer fence to cover the blade, thus reducing that dimension considerably. I would like a nice mobile base for it. Right now I keep it on a Jet pallet truck I had bought for a different purpose. My workshop space is extremely limited so every square foot of space is needed. I haven't needed to change the blades yet, so maybe I'll comment on that in the future.
