Capacities 
 
To make the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer as capable as it is versatile, the jointing and 
planing width capacity is a full 12”. That capacity allows you to work with wider boards 
without having to rip them down to fit common jointer 
widths in the 6 to 8” range. Because both the jointer and 
planer width capacities are the same, you can move 
between those modes without having to add an additional 
ripping step to the process. 
 
The precision machined 3-knife cutter 
head and feed roller system (planing 
mode) make the JET JJP-12 effective. 
 
3-Knife Cutterhead 
 
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer uses a large 2 ¾”-diameter 
cutterhead fitted with three high quality knives for both 
jointing and planing operations. The cutterhead turns at 
5500 RPM for all operations. The knives are retained 
with conventional wedge bars and have jacking screws 
that make setting their height precisely much easier. 
Because this cutterhead is used for both jointing and 
planing, setting the knives one time is all that is required. 
 
 
Changing Modes 
 
From the beginning, along with accuracy, capacity and 
durability, developing a fast, easy way to change 
between jointing and planing modes was high on the 
design criteria list. The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer 
sports a very simple, tool-free hinge based system that 
allows changing between jointing and planing modes 
very quickly without having to remove any 
components. 
 
Changing from jointing to planing or 
back on the JET JJP-12 is fast and 
simple. Unlock the jointing deck, lift it to 
its upright position, flip the dust collector 
into planing position and engage the feed 
rollers. It takes less time to do than to 
describe! Going back to jointing is just as 
fast. 
 
A pair of locking levers on the cabinet sides release the 
jointing bed which is then rotated up to expose the 
planer section. Lifting the cast iron jointer bed 
assembly (moves as one piece) is made easier because 
of spring-assisted hinges that reduce that effort 
substantially. A drop in lock at the hinge point secures 
the jointer bed in the upright position.
