Wood planer jointer combo.

If you re thinking about getting one for use in your woodworking shop then you should read this guide. The jet jointer planer is 3 hp cast iron and can change from one technique to another in less than a minute. A jointer planer combo machine is a combination of a wood jointer and a wood planer in one machine. Using a combo tool helps you create boards and sheets that are perfectly smooth as well as even and level.

The primary difference between jointer and planer tools is that a jointer shores up the edges on a piece of wood while a planer removes a portion of the thickness from that wood. Combination jointer planers have shorter beds than stand alone jointers so working with boards longer than 6 on the 12 machines and 4 on the 10 model can be cumbersome. A jointer planer combination machine is just that. Save time and space in your shop by combining the power of a jet jointer and a jet planer into one amazing combo machine.

Combination machines have been the norm in europe for decades but they re becoming more popular stateside.
