This 12″ jointer offers big capacity and performance in a machine that is loaded with features. Large center-mounted fence assembly adjusts easily via rack and pinion system with ram lock. Preset stops on the fence body allow for fast angle set-up at 45° in and out, and a positive stop for perfect 90° angles. The parallelogram design keeps the table in close proximity to the cutterhead for improved finish and allows for a fast depth of cut adjustment. This design also ensures the tables remain perfectly parallel even after years of tough duty. Choose either the standard straight knife cutterhead or the helical cutterhead.

Features

  • 3 HP single-phase motor operating on 230V delivers consistent cutting power for jointing wide stock and dense hardwood material
  • Helical cutterhead with 42 two-sided carbide inserts runs up to 5,000 RPM to reduce noise, minimize tear-out, and extend cutting edge life
  • Parallelogram table system keeps tables close to the cutterhead for improved surface finish and fast, accurate depth-of-cut adjustments
  • Large 12-inch by 84-inch precision-ground cast iron table provides stable support for long or heavy workpieces
  • Center-mounted cast iron fence adjusts smoothly with a rack-and-pinion mechanism for accurate positioning without play
  • Preset fence stops allow quick setup at 45 degrees in and out, with a positive stop at 90 degrees for square jointing
  • Table lips on both sides of the cutterhead help reduce operating noise during jointing operations
  • Heavy-duty cast iron construction improves rigidity and vibration control for consistent jointing results over time
  • Recommended maximum cutting depth of 1/8 inch for non-rabbeting cuts supports controlled material removal
  • Maximum rabbeting depth of 1/2 inch provides flexibility for edge-jointing and joinery tasks
