 SO FAR, SO GOOD
By Daniel S. Perrin
I managed to assemble this sturdy table-top unit (despite the substandard documentation.) Next, I ran a warped (it was cupped) piece of 14 in. x 5 and 1/2 in. x 7/16 in. aspen through the jointer operation 4 or 5 times at the 1/32 in setting.

Pretty Nice Little Machine
By David Craig
If you are a hobbyist with a fixed budget as well as fixed floor space, this machine will have to do the trick for you. If you are one of the minority with unlimited funds and space, you in all probability will want to look for a machine with more horsepower. The following is a breakdown of my experience with this little number.
First of all, I went with the 8 inch rather of the 10 inch because both seem to have the same motor. 2 inches might not seem like much, but the divergence may be rather significant when you are putting resistance to a motor. Jointers and planers have a kinship to each other. So, to me, it didn’t in truth matter that I was losing a few inches in planing width since I would not be capable to flatten a wider board on the jointer anyway.
The box arrived in good condition. There was no harm to the machine. I did have a torn bag of locknuts and washers. Some of these parts were probably littering the factory as I was missing a couple. Fortunately, I keep a supply of such items handy so was not a show stopper. I did spend a little bit of time looking for panhead screws that do not exist. There will have to have been a modify since the instruction printing because hex bolts, not panheads, hold the blade guard to the machine.
I did have a notched blade and I may tell you that jet will be in regards to the only company that carries them. They advertize the share in metric not divisional sizes. Because I was impatient, I ordered a set of Freud 1/8th blade thickness blades. The ones Jet carries are in regards to 1/16th thick and seem rather flimsy to me. Some of this is in all probability due to the horse of the planer and there is less strain on a machine if the blades are thin. As it is, I probably will not take more than a 1/32 cut at a time due to the thickness of the blade. This of course leads to altering the blades and setting them.
Do yourself a favor if you order. Right when you get the box, open it, get your serial number and model number data and call Jet right off the bat. Ask them to email you a diagram for setting the outfeed table. These are not included in the instructions (though they ought to be). The outfeed table is adaptable and you may set it coplanar to the infeed table. It takes 5 minutes and will save you a nightmare in blade adjustments. Some of the bad reviews are pretty much affiliated to poor performance based on the table not being coplanar. If you see poor cuts, this may be remedied. The box comes with a “jig” for setting the blades. The jig is just a rectangular, hollow, metal box that you use to set over the blade and the outfeed table to align the knives even with the table. Springs are located beneath the knives and they put pressure on them to elevate them. The box pushes the knives back down to a level spot so you may tighten them down. It is very necessary that both knives are completely level and at the same height to the table and with each other. If both tables are coplanar, this is not exceedingly difficult. You just have to keep moving the box from one side to the other and tighten the outer nuts tardily so that the blade doesn’t tip and become uneven. If both tables are not coplanar, you may have a two day nightmare (speaking basi hand) before the lightbulb comes on. On a good note, the difficulties taught me much in regards to the machine and I feel rather comfortable with all the operations.
To summarize – The machine is decent, it will do what it is supposed to do. The manual is not so decent, but it is workable. Jet client aid is very good. You will get a humane being who knows the machine and they may answer your questions and give you the aid you need. If you want to stick with Jet blades, contact the client service section to order. Trying to find them online is a red herring experience.
Hope this helps those that are taking into account or perhaps those that already have the machine and are experiencing numerous issues.

 jointer ok, planer? — now ok
By P. Pierson
I at last got this put together. Not too bad, except as others have noted, the assemblage manual is poor, inlcuding the fact that the hardware brought up in it is not what you get! A call to client service and a review by a QC guy confirmed this.
This is my introductory machine of these types, and to me it works great as a jointer. Big problem with planer – I am getting horrid snipe! Adjusting the planer extension outfeed table would be a joke if it was not so frustratingly hard. Can’t get it positioned right. Interesting that the manual says to adjust it somewhat higher than the main table, while another reviewer (for the 10″ model) commended making it more or less lower! I’ll work on the extension again and see if that is the problem.
The other troubles cited by other reviewers did not show up in my machine.
5-19 UPDATE
Now have the planer working fine. I got a heap of longer screws to make the extension table assemblage requiring little effort to manage, and got it adjusted so that it was tilted up. Now planes very flat!
I would alter my vote to 4 stars (4 1/2?) if the web site would let me, but it won’t. It is still only short of 5 because of the assemblage problems.
