Product Description

The JET JWP-208HH Helical Head Planer quickly and quietly transforms rough lumber into smooth boards with a full 20-inch planing width and 8-inch height. Its heavy-duty cast iron and steel construction keeps the workpiece steady and supported, while the conveniently located two-speed gear box, with an automatic chain tensioner, allows for quick and easy feed rate adjustments. This machine means business with a powerful 5-HP induction motor, combined with a helical insert cutterhead housing 92 staggered carbide knives, for a superior finish and quieter cut. You’ll appreciate the sets of three steel infeed and outfeed rollers to help prevent annoying snipe. A large cast-iron precision-ground table with smooth-as-glass surface makes this planer a beautiful addition to the shop.

Updated May 21 2020. This planer has been great and produces extremely smooth boards. I cannot be happier with the purchase. Highly recommend. It is a lot quieter than a lunchbox planer that I had been using before.Ordered it Saturday July 22nd and it was delivered the next Friday the 28th. No issues with the delivery or packaging, everything came thru perfect. Using a bobcat with forks, we moved the pallet into the shed. Once the plywood crate came off, you can use the lift bars (which each slides out to 10 3/8 inches and 4 5/8 inches when closed) in the tool to use a forklift to move it off of the pallet. The bobcat had movable forks to slide in tight to the machine and come under the lifting bars. I preferred this over straps hanging the machine from the forks. I built a mobile base from 3/4 plywood, and 4 inch casters positioned under the corners of the tool, with a weight capacity of 850 lbs. Uncrated the machine weights 753 lbs. The planer has a hollow base with an open bottom. This machine has the new updated decals and paint job from Jet. The older jet tools the last several years has a "yellow-white" paint. The new upgraded tools have a bright white paint which matches the new updated longer bed Jet 8 Inch HH jointer I bought recently. Not all of their older models that they still sell have the updated paint color.It does have a short 10 awg cord 5 foot long. You can swap out the cord with SOOW ( sometimes called SO) 10-3 AWG cord that you can buy at Menards for $35 for 25 feet. With SOOW cord they count all 3 wires so you need 10-3 cord (black, white, green). I am using 10 gauge wire in the wall to a 30 amp breaker. I have yet to use it as I am assembling and will update the review when used. At this point the fit and finish is perfect and I am somewhat OCD :)
