Includes 13" Open Stand Planer/Molder Combination Machine - 708526, Knife Setting Gauge for Planing, Knife Setting Gauge for Molding, Adjustment Tools
JET's planer/molder handles material up to 13 inches wide and up to 6 inches in height. The tool's 1-1/2-horse, 110-watt motor (you can easily rewire it to 230 watts) spins the three-knife cutterhead. Depending on the application, the machine runs 10 to 20 board feet per minute. The motor is fan-cooled, too, so it doesn't overheat. The cast-iron table lends plenty of heft and contact surface, while the rubberized infeed and outfeed rollers support the work without marring it. As is standard with most planers, it comes with an incorporated dust chute--so it's simple to hook up to a dust collector and keep the shop clean. Four lockable casters (not standard) make it easy to maneuver the tool in a tight shop. For people working in home restoration, this tool is a godsend. To match new replacement molding with the existing material, copy the profile of the existing molding, get custom knives made, and cut your own replacement. A helpful video is included that walks you through the process of changing and setting blades. This is unquestionably a solid tool, ideal for home woodworkers looking to step up from a benchtop unit, and especially for remodelers and This Old House-type guys who need an good way to accurately match existing trim. --Jon Groebner

Woodworker:
I purchased a JPM 13 and when I tried to get parts for it they told us that we could buy the planer but they did not carry parts for it. I hope you post this because I am disappointed that you cant buy parts for it even though you still sell it. James
Good tool, excellent results:
My JPM-13 is about a year old, and is being used to restore an old house. I use 5/4 and 8/4 fir and 5/4 maple exclusively. I make the door/window trim (1 1/8 thick x 5 in wide) and have custom knives made. This is not a professional machine, but gives GREAT results on the maple molding, with no sanding needed! I would recommend it to anyone that would use it as a hobby machine.
ACE:
I haven't used mine to cut molding yet, but the machine is under powered for rough cut lumber. If you just have a board or two to thickness plane it is functional, but for big jobs forget it.
Great machine:
I've had my JPM 13 for over a year and haven't a single complaint. It's a workhorse that does a fine job of both planing and molding. It's way better than those flimsy, 12 1/2-inch portable planers. I've run a few hundred board feet of curly maple and red and white oak through it, and it does a great job.
