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. The all-metal adjustable feed rollers, anti-kickback fingers and adjustable chip breaker make this an exceptionally safe and user-friendly planer. 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. 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. While the JET JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH are capable of 3/16”-deep cuts on most stock widths, a limiter plate at the center of the cutterhead that limits full-width cuts to 1/8” or less. Controlling full-width cut depth avoids applying excessive strain to the machine but also prevents damaging the wood. Deep cuts are far more likely to produce chipping and tearout because of the extraordinary stress applied to the wood fibers. Dust Collection The 4”-diameter dust port is angle to the side to prevent the dust collector hose from interfering with the wood as it exits the planer. The efficiency of the JET JWP-15DX and JWP-15HH means they are capable of generating large quantities of dust and chips that must be evacuated to maintain performance at the cutterhead. We recommend a 500- 600CFM (cubic feet per minute minimum) dust collector to handle the flow of chips properly. A specially designed dust hood comes with the JET JWP-15DX that creates a short, direct path for the debris directly from the cutterhead. The hood terminates with a 4”-diameter port that is angled to the side so the dust collector hose does not interfere with the stock as it exits. The JET JWP-15HH actually takes this a step further. The helical nature of the cutter head actually ejects debris at an angle, directly toward the exit of the angled dust hood. Table and Adjustment Cutting depth adjustments are made using the large cast iron handwheel (left) which also has a spinner handle built in to make large changes go quickly. A large knob at either end of the table (right) locks the height setting for precise, clean cuts. The cast iron table surface is 20”-long by 15”-wide and precision ground for precise planing. Each corner of the table loops around a 2”-diameter, precision ground steel post and is locked onto a lead screw within the post that controls the up and down movement. The lead screws are driven by a single chain through a gear drive. A large 6”- 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. Adjustable height rollers in the primary table (left) make moving rough stock through the machine easier. The large roller extension tables (right) increase the overall table support to 48” long! 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 situation. 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 tabl...
