Gas strut
New planers designed for less snipe
15" planers, no. JWP-15B (straight-knife head), $1,700;
no. JWP-15HH (helical head), $2,600
Jet says its new 15" planers reduce snipe by using a
Precision Air Strut System (PASS) to support the
cutterhead assembly with heavy-duty gas struts.
These 3-hp planers sell in two versions: a cutterhead
with straight knives or a helical cutterhead with
carbide inserts. The straight-knife machine comes
with fold-up steel infeed and outfeed tables, while the
helical-head version comes with cast-iron tables.
