Two-in-One Design to Maximize Space
The JJP-10BTOS's space-saving design doesn't skimp on efficiency. In fact, because it combines a benchtop jointer and a planer in one unit, you get a two-in-one machine to maximize work space. For added peace of mind, the planing and jointing tables both lock to guarantee precise cutting.Fast Speeds and Various Cutting Depths for Versatility
With cutting speeds of up to 18,000 cuts per minute, and a maximum cutting width up to 10 inches, the JJP-10BTOS is versatile enough to tackle woodworking jobs both big and small. It also provides a jointer maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch and planer maximum cut depth up to .08 inch. For additional versatility, a rigid steel stand allows the unit to easily transition from a benchtop to a standing configuration. Powerful 13 Amp Motor and Two High-Speed Knives
A heavy duty, 13 Amp motor provides robust performance for a variety of cutting applications, while two high-speed steel knives make precise, smooth cuts. Sheet Metal Outfeed Table Tackles Long Work Pieces
Versatile enough to handle a range of material sizes, the JJP-10BTOS includes a sheet metal outfeed table with height adjustment that supports even long work pieces. Its clever design also reduces snipe for consistent results. Stable and Accurate Jointing and Planing
While you work, the tool's strong, accurate aluminum extruded fence can be angled up to 45 degrees, making jointing stable and accurate. Additionally, the planer includes a scale and pointer that indicate the distance between the planer table and cutter head. Finally, an integrated cord wrap makes for easy portability and prevents accidents or errors caused by dangling plugs and wires. Oversized Ergonomic Knobs
For safe, secure operation, the JJP-10BTOS gives you easy access to the controls you need while working. In fact, the oversized, ergonomic knobs are extremely user friendly, helping you avoid errors caused by a slippery grip and preventing you from wasting time hunting for hard-to-see buttons or switches. Instead, these easy-to-see, stable knobs provide you with maximum control at every stage in your job. The JJP-10BTOS is backed by a three-year warranty. About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service. What's in the Box

 Great for the weekend woodworker! February 28, 2009

I got mine today and set it up in about an hour. I have to tell you, I opened the box and unpacked it all, only to find the front cream colored cover plate was cracked in multiple places! I thought oh no, what did I get myself into? Well, I went ahead and assembled the machine. I was completely satisfied with the way everything went together. However, at this point I was still bummed about the cover plate being cracked so I called the number in the manual (inside front cover). I was expecting some kind of battle on the phone! To my suprise, the woman who took my call was very helpful, no questions asked, I have a new cover on the way! So no big deal since this doesn't impact the workings of the machine at all.
Next, I read the manual cover to cover and went back to fine tune the machine. I checked that the blades were level, they were very, very close. I checked that the fence was really at 90 degrees, it was perfect (its adjustable if need be). I loosened the nuts on the stand in order to get it level (no wobble), it now is.
Now I fired it up. (keep in mind this is my first planer, first jointer) Planing 3/8 red oak down to 1/4 went very well. I took it easy and ran them though a few times, result = as good as I could expect, I didn't notice any snipe at all!!! I moved the dust shute to jointer mode and jointed the same wood. Again the result was very good.
Problems, the plastic end caps on the fence hung over the edge of the fence enough to cause a snag when moving the board through the jointer, no biggy, just file it back. The stand is stable enough however you will need to adjust the bolts in order to level the machine (no wobble). The face plate was cracked but customer support was great and I have a new one on the way, no questions asked.
Summary, I would have spent a minimum of $600 for two machines that would accomplish what this $335 (delivered, after 20% weekend sale) can do! On top of that the jointer is 10" vs 6". You do give up 2.5 inches on the planer but for me thats not a concern. Yes the fence doesn't move across the blade but I have already found that I can plane on the non jointing end of the blade or anywhere in between, and/or add spacers. Again, not a concern for a person who intends on making their own furniture etc, I mean I'm not running boards through this thing all day long every day. All in all, I am very happy with the purchase and congrats to JET for making a machine suited just right for the weekend woodworker!

Like many starting woodworkers, I really needed a jointer and wanted a planer, but both did not fit into my budget. So I considered buying a jointer and just doing without the planer. Then I saw this product, but buying it without a review was a real gamble. I was really concerned that as a jointer it might not be very precise and that would just be a waste of money (I can hand joint a board fairly precisely - it just takes longer). In the end I decided that it was about the same price as many portable planers, and if it did a decent job planing, I would just use it as such.
The machine arrived promptly and was well packaged. Good thing, as is usually the case, the outer packaging was pretty battered. One caveat, the planer extension table and jointer blade guard are placed loose in the cavity of the planer and bang around some. The red paint on the guard was chipped around the corners a bit.
Set up was about a 1-hour job. These are things to consider:
1. I would recommend two people to get the main unit out of the styrofoam. It weighs about 75lbs. and tends to stick in the packaging.
2. The directions recommend tightening all of the nuts for the stand and then placing the unit on it before running the bolts up into the unit. Don't do this. Flip the unit upside-down onto the styrofoam packing and place the stand on the bottom. That way you can actually see all of the bolt holes and adjust the stand so all of the holes line up.
3. The directions fail to mention the three lock washers that go with the hex cap screws for fastening the planer outfeed extension, but they are in the exploded parts diagram (and come in the hardware bag). I recommend putting in all three screws loosely. Then, starting at one end, align the top of the extension just barely below the outfeed table - tightnen lightly. Then do the other side. My first efforts were to do the center screw first, but then every time you lower one side, the other pops up too high. Lastly, don't tighten thes down until you adjust the set screws that adjust the angle of the outfeed (I stripped one that way - but I always make sure to find at least one excuse to go out to the hardware store :-)
OK now for the bottom line - performance.
As a jointer, I was impressed. I jointed some very rough walnut and it came out smooth, straight and square - but only after about 5 passes. the directions advise taking light cuts (1/16" or less) and as I've only had this for a short time, I haven't tried breaking it yet.
Same deal as a planer or surface jointer: nice, but it is a bit underpowered - take light cuts. After all, if you realy want a powerful tool, and could afford it, you'd buy a stationary 15" planer and an 8" jointer. Not much snipe (any?) with these light cuts and the surface is nice.
Four small con's:
1. The 2" dust connector is just barely too big for my Rigid vac - fixed with some sandpaper.
2. One of the extension table holes had to be drilled out to get the bolt to go through (but all of the tapped holes are spot-on.)
3. The stand is a little flexible. I'm going to bolt a peice of ply onto the lower brackets as a shelf - that ought to help.
4. the jointer fence does not have any adjustment for moving it across the table, so all jointing operations occur at the same side. That will end up wearing the blades uneavenly. I'll probably end up making up some spacers with mdf.
I recommend this product.

Jet 10" Jointer/Planer Combo. It makes lot of sense to have both jointer and planer build into one machine. I have tried the jointer with hard red oak, and some soft wood for the planer. Both worked fine to my satisfaction. But there are a few "small" things that needed to be taken care of at the beginning after received the machine thought UPS:
(1) Shipping box is broken badly, luck me that the contents inside is not lost.
(2) The instruction manual (pictures and instructions) is not clear; it says the extension table should be installed higher than the planer but it does not say how much higher it should be. Also, for people never used a jointer or planer (like me), the manual should mention the basics steps operating a jointer and planer to get fine results. I have to find answers from other sources.
(3) This was the most bothering thing for me at the beginning: the out-feed table and the in-feed table are not parallel to each other (off by about 2 mm), and the manual does not mention how to fix it. After contacted the customer service, I got instructions to get it fixed (take both plastic panels off and there are 2 screws on the out-feed table which can be adjusted), even though I cannot say both tables are dead-parallel now, it is very close.
(4) While operating the jointer, the cutter guard keeps touching the surface of the out-feed table; there seems no way to adjust it. I guess the rotating axle is probably not perpendicular to the guard so as it turns, it getting closer to the surface of the out-feed table (but not 100% sure). I have sent email to customer support; hopefully will get some help on that. I think the worst case for me to get it work is to re-drill 2 holes and raise the guard.
(5) The fence could be designed to be a bit sturdier. Would be nice if it could be moved across the tables so that the cutter can be fully utilized.
(6) Would be nice if a shelf is design into the supporting frame/stand which cost basically nothing but would be useful for those with limited space.
(7) The quality of the cutter seems is not top of the line. After short period usage, I noticed a few small notches.
(8) The way that the planer extension table get installed (by 3 screws) and "adjusted" (by 2 smaller screws) is kind of joke. Even a non-professional woodworker like me can see its ridiculers.
(9) Some screws are too short, they are barely long enough to hold the tightened nut and washer.
Issues above are just some small imperfections I have noticed and which I can live with, over-all, I like this machine very much and I think it is well worth the money ($420).
Good Buy January 25, 2010

I was hesitant at buying this machine at first with the mixed reviews I wasn't sure. But when it came time to start working on a project at home I decided to go ahead and take the plunge. I have used the Jet 10" jointer/planer machine for about a month now and I would say it does a very good job overall of both jointing and planing and I have not had problems with the unit as other negative reviewers have had. I have used larger commercial machines in the past in school and work. While I can say that this machine cannot be compared to those type of machines I will say that the machine works well for my use. I have started milling my own lumber using a chainsaw mill so I have rough sawn lumber that usually only has one relatively straight edge. I've taken roughly 7/8 - 1" thick red oak and turned it into ready to use 5/8" material without any problems. The boards are square and very smoothly finished.
I will mention a few minor issues that I had with the unit just to be fair. First, when I opened the box most of the hardware bags had broke open and hardware was all over the styrofoam insert. I used a magnetic wand to pick everything out and sort it onto my workbench. I did come up two nuts short which made the machine's stand two bolts short. However, I could go to Lowe's and pick up a few nuts if needed but for now the unit is sturdy and I'm getting by without the extra bolts. Second, I had to take apart the blade guard and reset the spring to spring back against the fence instead of away from it. Apparently it was not assembled correctly at the factory. These are the only problems I've had with the machine.
If you're a weekend warrior woodworker like myself who is a hobbyist rather than someone who builds furniture for a living and don't have the space or the money for expensive machinery then I would suggest the 10" jointer planer. For about $400 having a machine that will joint a 10" board is very appealing.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. Both the jointer and planer seem to work great with plenty of power for the things that I have needed to do. To switch modes between the jointer and the planer is very simple and requires only a small amount of time and effort. The only major drawback that I can see is the table length. It is about 36" long, which can make it very difficult to get any twists or bows out when trying to joint longer pieces of stock. Other than that, it is a great machine and I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is the perfect machine for a small, home-based shop.
