An important feature of the JET JWP-15DX is how easily the 
knives are changed and set. A specially designed mounting 
and alignment system eliminates one of the most frustrating 
aspects of using many planers - changing and aligning its 
knives.  
 
When a knife becomes dull or damaged all one has to do is 
remove the 8 retaining screws and carefully remove it. The 
cutterhead has two precisely machined and located pins in 
each knife seat that mate exactly with two precisely 
machined and located slots in the knife. When changing or flipping a knife simply place 
it over the pins on the cutterhead seat, replace and tighten the 8 screws and it is 
automatically aligned and ready for use. No further adjustment is required. 
Our Quick-change knife system 
makes this once frustrating task 
quick, simple and automatically 
accurate. We include a pair of 
magnetic tools - shown here 
removing a knife retainer plate – 
that helps prevent nicked fingers! 
 
 
JWP-15HH with the Helical Cutterhead 
 
While designing the JET JWP-15HH we developed a 
criteria for a unique cutterhead that would insure the 
unmatched performance and reliability. That design 
specification meant the choice was very simple - a 
helical cutterhead with carbide inserts. 
 
The JET JWP-15HH cutterhead is so effective because 
its 68 carbide inserts are arranged in four spiral-shaped rows. The inserts have a 4” radius 
ground into them and are mounted so they approach the wood at a 14-degree angle. That 
creates a true shear cut that eliminates much of the impact and the resulting fiber 
disturbance common with other cutterhead designs.  Also contributing to this excellent 
surface finish is the profile of the space between the rows of carbide inserts. These areas 
are specially designed to carry chips away from the cutting area and eject them before 
they cause any problems for your work surface. 
 
Our helical head with its spiral rows of 
carbide inserts creates ultra smooth 
surfaces yet has an exceptionally long 
cutter life.  
 
This helical cutterhead cuts so efficiently that it makes surprisingly little noise when 
cutting wood. In fact, it is so quiet, that new users often think that the JET JWP-15HH is 
not cutting wood at all! That is until they see the freshly planed surface emerge from the 
other side.    
 
The helical cutterhead inserts are precisely machined from solid high-grade carbide, each 
with four identical cutting edges. If an edge goes dull or is damaged, you simply index it 
to the next cutting edge! Each insert has a marking at one edge that makes indexing all or 
any number of them the same way very easy.
