## Description

The JET 13" Benchtop Planer delivers the power and efficiency that woodworkers demand in the shop. The JET 13" Planer produces a smooth and consistent cut surface thanks to its Helical Style Cutter head with 6 rows of 26 individual quick change inserts which can be easily rotated or replaced if damaged or worn. This helical style cutter head design helps reduce noise as its powerful 2HP 15-Amp Motor is turning at an impressive 10,000 RPM. Features include a rugged four-post design, adjustable folding tables, two infeed speeds, and a sturdy cast iron base which helps reduce snipe.

Review: Second Thoughts - Feb, 2023 There are 26 cutting heads on a six sided spindle, secured by 52 hex head bolts. I spent almost two hours replacing all of them. The 26 cutters are arranged in 6 groups of 5,4,4,5,4,4. Rockler now sells carbide cutting heads in pkgs. of 10 at a cost of 30% more than the steel heads. This is an update to a previous review of the Jet Planer. When the machine was new it could plane teak stock with ease on a 15 amp breaker because the knives were sharp and perfectly aligned. After using it for a day or two the rubber feed rollers had trouble pulling the stock through the cutting head and the 15 amp fuse began to blow repeatedly. The stock was also being pulled in at an angle where when the knives were sharp the stock went through straight. To fix the problem, I switched to a circuit with a 20 amp breaker and used the included hex tool to unscrew and rotate all of the knives 180 degrees. (The knives are reversible and have two cutting edges.) This returned the machine to its original condition and it planed teak as it did when I first took it out of the box. I attached a video showing the six sides of the cutting spindle and the way the knives are attached to it. Unscrewing and rotating all of the knives took me an hour. There are also pictures of the crank that adjusts the cutting head up and down and a picture of the wheel that makes it possible to precisely adjust the thickness of the finished board. Final thoughts on the Jet Planer. This is a good tool that has sub standard steel knives. It works longer on soft wood than it does on teak. But for my teak planning jobs it is only good for small projects. For about $180 I can buy a full set of knives, but it takes an hour to install them. Carbide knives are not available. The De Walt planer does have carbides blades available.
Review: Jet planer review - I have ordered other tools from desertcart that were just put in a box with little to no support packaging. Jet uses formed styrofoam that does a great job of protecting the planer and the tool works great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does the description say helical style when it is not helical?**
A: For $100 more you can get a true helical style grizzly 13 inch planer. I hate that jet is falsely advertising their planer. These HSS inserts won't last nearly as long or make as smooth of a cut as the true helical style planers.

**Q: Con que voltaje funciona, funcionara con 220v**
A: 115-Volt, 1-Phase

**Q: What material are the inserts? Are they multi sided so you can rotate if dull.**
A: Cutters are 2 sided HSS.

**Q: Where can you buy the inserts**
A: Do an E-Bay search.  They showed up on "Tools-Plu"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very smooth cut on both hard and soft woods
*by R***R on December 23, 2019*

Bought this to replace an old Delta bench-top planer. I think the spiral design with segmented cutters reduces tear-out and provides a smoother cut. It also creates much smaller chips, which should minimize clogging. I've been using it to plane 12' lengths of white oak and it has pulled the boards through with ease. There is some snipe at the beginning and end of the boards, but that is to be expected on pieces that long and heavy. The chip chute did a great job of directing the chips to the dust collector.
