Power Base for Home Woodworking

Designed and built with the house woodworking shop in mind, the Jet 708524 JPM-13CS has a unconditionally enclosed 1-1/2-horsepower, 115-volt motor that may easily be rewired to 230 volts. The motor delivers its power to the cutterhead assembly via a couple of V-belts running in precision-machined multi-groove pulleys. A removable side door at the cabinet provides get entry to to the motor and its belt-tensioning mount must adjustment change into essential at some point.

Superior Cutting and Feeding

The JPM-13CS features an all-steel, precision-machined cutterhead (2-9/16-inch diameter) fitted with three full-width knives. The knives are retained by three-piece wedge-shaped gibs that let for the installation of many molding-knife profiles with out putting off the planer blades. The middle gib section makes installing so much molding knives simple (2 inches wide and below).

The planer/molder has two feed rates, with the Top 20 FPM (feet per minute) setting used primarily for dimensioning picket when numerous subject material is being got rid of temporarily. The 10 FPM speed is used for finish cuts when the smoothest imaginable surface is desired, and this slower feed rate may be used for molding operations.

Rubber-covered infeed and outfeed rollers keep the stock moving at a consistent pace, and the rubber feed roller surface gets a just right grip at the picket with out marring the profiled surface of molded picket. Either one of the feed rollers are easily adjustable to handle their performance.

The table has 6 inches of trip maintained by lead screws on all sides and is driven by a very simple-to-use hand crank on best of the machine. To hand metric and inch scales flank the infeed housing opening to make adjusting cut depth simple and accurate. It comes with an incorporated dust chute–so It is simple to hook as much as a mud collector and keep the store clean. Four lockable casters (no longer usual) make it simple to move the tool in a decent shop. It is backed by a five-year limited warranty.
