JT360 6-inch deluxe jointer
Ensure that your wood surfaces are flat with this deluxe jointer (#60009). The 34-hp model features a 478- x 35-inch fence that mounts in the center for maximum work support and tilts for beveling and chamfering operations. It also includes a heavy-gauge steel stand and wide footprint for sturdy support and a built-in dust chute to direct dust and chips away from the operator. The safety cutterhead guard pivots out of the way of work during operation. The 46-inch-long table can handle extra-long stock. The equipment features a cast-iron wedge bed for solid support, and fully adjustable infeed and outfeed tables that operate on gibbed dovetailed ways to compensate for wear. The infeed table also has a cast-iron, 834- x 3-inch support ledge for rabbeting operations.
This jointer (#33781) has variable speed ranges of 6,000 to 11,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), or 12,000 to 22,000 cuts per minute (cpm). It allows you to select the correct speed for the size and hardness of the material that you cut. The center-mounted fence gives support throughout the cut for accurate edge jointing. The fence tilts 0 to 45 degrees outward for bevel jointing and chamfering and features positive stops at 45 and 90 degrees. The Poly V belt drive offers maximum transmission of power to the cutterhead with minimum belt slippage. Balanced for smooth operation and a maintenance-free life, the two-knife cutterhead has a jackscrew-knife leveling arrangement for easy replacement and adjustment of individual knives. The built-in chip chute directs dust and chips away from the operator, motor, and electrical components, while the extra-large table provides ample work support for surfacing stock up to 6 inches wide.
