JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer  
A frustrating choice  
woodworkers often face  
is whether to get a jointer  
or a planer first. That  
choice is made more  
difficult because these  
machines compliment  
each other to dimension,  
square and smooth the  
wood. The new JET JJP-  
12 Jointer-Planer  
eliminates that problem  
and brings both  
capabilities to your shop  
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer brings two crucial woodworking processes,  
jointing (left) and planing (right) to the shop in one space and money saving  
package.  
in one accurate, durable and economical package.  
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is based on a heavy-duty, fully welded steel base cabinet  
that houses the motor along with the planer table mechanism. The cabinet also provides  
solid mounting for the associated controls as well as supporting the jointer table and  
fence assemblies.  
Power  
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer features a 3HP, 230V,  
12.5A, 1Ph TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor  
that supplies consistent power to the cutterhead that is  
used for both jointing and planing operations as well as  
the feed roller system in the planer mode. The belts and  
feed roller drive chain systems are contained within the  
cabinet but readily accessible through the large  
removable panel on the cabinet rear.  
The 3 HP motor and drives are contained  
in the cabinet but accessible through a

magnetic On/Off switch with a built-in limiter. This  
switch prevents excessive variances in the electrical power from damaging the motor.  
Another benefit of a magnetic switch is that should the power go out and then come back  
on the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer will not restart on its own. The On button must be  
pushed after power is restored to start the machine. The limit switch also prevents  
machine startup while changing modes of operation.  
 
The dust collection shroud with its 4”-diameter outlet port is also hinged for use in both  
the jointing and planing modes. The shroud has an internal, gravity-operated baffle plate  
that helps direct the collection vacuum for maximum effectiveness. When the jointer bed  
is up, the dust shroud is rotated up into a very traditional location for planer dust  
evacuation. The planer section is now ready for use.  
To go back to the jointer mode, rotate the dust shroud down, release the jointer table lock,  
lower the table into position and then engage the two locking levers. The JET JJP-12  
Jointer-Planer is ready for jointing operations in seconds.  
Jointer Mode  
Because both the machine modes use the same 12”  
cutterhead, the jointer section is capable of face jointing  
12”-wide stock. The 55”-long by 12”-wide cast iron infeed  
and outfeed tables provide plenty of support for the big  
project pieces.  
The infeed and outfeed cast iron tables are individually  
adjustable for height for the most flexibility. The maximum  
cut depth is 1/8”. To insure long-term accuracy, we even

12” jointing width capacity! The  
fence and fully adjustable infeed  
and outfeed tables make this an  
extremely versatile machine.  
The 43”-long by 6”-tall extruded aluminum smooth faced  
fence makes accurate jointing easy. The fence is fully  
adjustable for material width using a pair of wide spread levers for maximum stability.  
The fence face can be set to any angle from 0 to 45-degrees for precise bevel cuts. A  
handy bevel scale and pointer are included on the fence mount.  
Bridge Style Cutter Guard  
The bridge style cutter guard may take a little getting used to  
but is much safer than the “pork chop” shaped guards. This  
style guard is simple to set up and with just a little experience  
will actually be easier for many than dealing with the swing-  
away guards.  
When jointing the wide face on boards, the cutter guard is  
adjusted so that the board passes beneath it. Turning the knob  
at its mounting base controls the height of the guard over the  
cutter. This keeps the entire cutter area covered and prevents

the operator from pushing down directly over the cutter, something you shouldn’t be  
doing anyway. For edge jointing operations, the guard is adjusted to allow the material to  
pass between its end and the fence. Here again, the unused cutter remains covered  
throughout the operation.  
The bridge style cutter guard is needed only for jointing operations. The guard remains in  
place without modification when the jointing table is rotated up to convert to the planer  
mode.  
Planer Mode  
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer is a fully capable thickness planer  
with a 12”-cut width and handles a whopping 8 ¾” maximum  
material thickness. The maximum full-width cut depth is 1/8”  
with 5/32” being the maximum cut on narrower stock. Naturally,  
lighter cuts put less stress on the wood itself and often produce  
much better results. The 5500 RPM cutterhead speed means a  
constant 20 FPM feed rate is a good balance between quick  
material removal and a clean, smooth surface.  
In planer mode the material feed roller system is engaged by  
moving an exterior handle to the On position. That produces a

spare.  
The cutterhead assembly is fixed and includes a row of gravity-operated anti-kickback  
fingers for safety. A serrated metal feed roller is designed to resist contamination and  
maintain a consistent material feed rate for the best results. A rubber-covered outfeed  
roller keeps the stock moving without marring the freshly planed surface.  
The 21 ¼” by 12” planer table adjusts up and down through a large handwheel (with  
spinner handle) on the infeed end of the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer while in planer mode.  
A scale on the handwheel hub shows the amount of change partial turns create while a  
full height scale with pointer shows overall cutter to table distance. The planer table is  
locked with a lever-type handle.  
The JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer was designed to bring the much needed jointing and  
planing capabilities to your shop in a single, space-saving 55”-long by 39 ½”-tall (top of  
fence) and 32”-deep (fence at its widest setting) package. Because of its space saving  
design and our focus on accuracy, function and durability, the JET JJP-12 Jointer-Planer  
is as economical as it is versatile.
