• Parallelogram Table Adjustments – Table depth adjustments travel along an arc to keep the same distance to the cutterhead through its travel
• Emergency “Knee-Stop” – The new knee stop uses a body-length bar at knee height to shut off the JX jointer. This important safety feature allows the machine operator to stop the machine quickly at any position along the front of the machine while keeping hands on the workpiece.
• New Ergonomic Machine Body – The new JX Series machine body has been redesigned with a “toe-kick” to allow the user to position themself closer to the machine tables and to move safer and easier along the length of the machine.
• In-feed Support Roller – Infeed tables are now fitted with pull-out support roller to help support longer materials.
• ShearTec II Cutterhead – The ShearTec II cuttherhead comes as standard equipment on JX|8 ShearTec II Jointer.

The 4-sided knives can be rotated for a new cutting edge without need for a knife setting jig.
