JET Tools 20in Thicknesser Helical Cutterhead 5HP Single Phase

The JET 20in thicknesser has a helical style cutterhead that provides unmatched surface finish and much quieter operation. 

Please note: Does not include plug. Electrician required to wire plug. 

The JET 20in Helical Head Thicknesser quickly and quietly transforms rough lumber into smooth boards, with a full 20in planing width. Its heavy-duty cast iron and steel construction keeps the workpiece steady and supported, while the conveniently located two-speed gear box with an automatic chain tensioner allows for quick and easy feed rate adjustments. 

This machine means business with a powerful 5 HP induction motor combined with a helical insert cutterhead housing 92 staggered indexable carbide knives for a superior finish and quieter cut.

You’ll appreciate the sets of three steel infeed and outfeed rollers to help prevent annoying snipe. A large cast-iron precision ground table with smooth-as-glass surface makes this planer a beautiful addition to the shop.
