Works great, bit of trouble setting up the in- and out- feeds. Very happy.

Not much setup at all before I did my first small job. I’m ready to tackle a larger job in the near future.

I purchased this in January for my small shop. The planer control are logical and easy to use. However, in less than six months now, I’m looking for another brand planer. I’ve primarily run poplar through this planer and now I cannot cut more than 1/64” at best per feed. At best I can turn the dial 1/4 turn. That’s just not reasonable, and I feel that I may never buy another jet brand tool again. The last feed I did actually stopped mid feed and tripped the breaker and it was not at the 1/32 line. Horrible.

As per normal, I will give the short and sweet review and then I will expand a little more for those that may want more detail below...Short and sweet - If you don't have a ton of space and you want to get a good solid planer, this seems like it will be a good fit for you. I have been using mine for about two weeks and I have to say that I am very pleased overall. I am surprised by the amount of snipe that I am still getting on my boards, but I haven't done any adjustments yet. The overall quality of the finish out of this machine is extremely impressive... When I run wood through it, I barely need to sand the finished boards.More Detailed Version -I purchased this because my Dewalt was starting to have some issues and was actually catching/ejecting boards. I tried to fix it and was unsuccessful. After looking at options, I found this little planer out there and decided to give it a try since it is from Jet and came with helical head blades already installed out of the box. I had also heard that the maintenance should be pretty easy on this machine in comparison to some of the others (Dewalt). It was more that I wanted to spend, but I decided to pull the trigger and get this. So far, I am extremely pleased for the most part.1) It tends to run quieter than the Dewalt did. Not quiet enough to run it without hearing protection, but definitely quieter.2) The boards come through with a much nicer finish than my previous planer. In fact, there have been several occasions in which I have done nothing more than just a quick sanding before using the planed boards out of this.3) I love the positive stop system that is employed here. It takes the guess work out of prepping boards. So, if you are working on a project, and you know that you want your boards to be 3/8" thick, you can easily set the positive stop for 3/8" and then work your boards down to that thickness. It's a feature that most nicer planers have, but is typically absent from cheaper planers.4) The dust collection on this unit is pretty spectacular. I have mine hooked up to a 4" hose that pipes to my small wall mounted dust collection system and it runs perfectly. Hardly anything gets ejected out of the front or back at all. Very clean operation.5) It's small. It's almost the exact same size as my previous Dewalt lunchbox planer. I have mine fixed to a mobile cart that I can easily put back under my mitre station when I am not using it. It folds up nicely and has been working perfectly.So, to summarize... If you have a ton of space and extra money to spend, you may be better off going with a bigger planer. Jet offers several larger options as does pretty much every other manufacturer. But, if you have a smaller shop and need things to be mobile, this is a good option. As I said before, I built a small mobile cart and attached this unit to that cart. It works perfectly in this capacity.

Love this machine. The helical cutter head chews through anything. I’ve run hundreds of board feet of maple and walnut through with no issues. The quality you expect from Jet.
