JET JWP-208HH Helical Head Planer

The JET JWP-208HH is a 20" helical head wood planer built to turn rough lumber into smooth, finish-ready stock in a single pass. Heavy-duty cast iron and steel construction keeps the workpiece rock-steady, while a conveniently located two-speed gearbox with automatic chain tensioner lets you dial in feed rate on the fly. This machine means business with a powerful 5 HP induction motor combined with a helical insert cutterhead housing staggered carbide knives for a superior finish and quieter cut. Sets of three steel infeed and outfeed rollers help eliminate annoying snipe, and the large, precision-ground cast iron table gives you a smooth-as-glass surface to work from; a beautiful, hardworking addition to any shop. Built for shops that can't afford downtime, the JWP-208HH backs up its performance with a 5-year warranty.
