Product Description
From the Manufacturer This JET planer/molder features a sturdy cast-iron table, mounted on four precision-ground steel columns for reduced vibration and smooth feeding. It has fully adjustable rubber-coated infeed and outfeed rollers, with a 1-1/2-horsepower motor, which is fully enclosed, fan cooled, and is located at the base of the machine to protect it from wood chips and dust. The two matched V-belts deliver full power to the three-knife cutterhead, while the two-speed gearbox provides smooth molding and fast planing. The high-quality tool steel of the three steel knife sets will provide a superior finish. Adding to the ease of operation, all cutters under 2 inches in width may be installed without removing the planing knives. It has a 13-inch-wide and 6-1/8-inch-thick planing and molding capability
Amazon.com Review
JET's planer/molder handles material up to 13 inches wide and up to 6 inches in height. The tool's 1-1/2-horse, 110-volt motor (you can easily rewire it to 230 volts) spins the three-knife cutterhead. Depending on the application, the machine runs 10 to 20 board feet per minute. The motor is fan-cooled and enclosed, too, so it doesn't overheat and stays protected from dust. The cast-iron table lends plenty of heft and contact surface, while the rubberized infeed and outfeed rollers support the work without marring it. As is standard with most planers, it comes with an incorporated dust chute--so it's simple to hook up to a dust collector and keep the shop clean. Four lockable casters (not standard) make it easy to maneuver the tool in a tight shop. For people working in home restoration, this tool is a godsend. To match new replacement molding with the existing material, copy the profile of the existing molding, get custom knives made, and cut your own replacement. A helpful video is included that walks you through the process of changing and setting blades. This is unquestionably a solid tool, ideal for home woodworkers looking to step up from a benchtop unit, and especially for remodelers and This Old House-type guys who need an good way to accurately match existing trim. --Jon Groebner

 Great planer February 28, 2008
Electric Z (Aloha Oregon)
I am pleased with the planer. I build decorative wood boxes and some easy-to-build furniture. I have been using it daily now for over a month. It assembled easily and was up and running in about 1/2 hour.
This planer is very well built and sits on a sturdy stand. The wheels on it allow it to be moved around as needed in my shop on the rare occasion this is necessary. It is exact and powerful. While I could use 220v, I use it as 110v and the planer has all the power needed that suits my purposes. The in-feed and out-feed roller tables are fully adjustable and reduce, if not eliminate the snipe completely.
With a rebate I payed $[...] with the shipping included. I checked out the other brands before I purchased, including the bench top models, reading all the reviews here on Amazon, other web sites and at Fine Woodworking. I went with the Jet 708524 JPM-13CS. (I put the model so there is no confusion) For just a little more money you take a giant step up. This is a very good mid quality and price planer. I am glad I purchased it recommend it and would buy again.

I purchased my Jet 13" Planer/Molder at a trade show for $695 in 1997. I previously used a 12" Delta for my furniture and finished carpentry work.
For some reason I haven't bonded with it after 10 years. I haven't got it out of the 10fpm mode because it seems like it was going to stall in some oak and hickory lumber even at a light setting. The biggest gripe I have is with the old fashion wedge system of securing the blades which takes me about 20 to 30 minutes to do (the Delta spring loaded system takes about 5 minutes). I guess I'm going to give it another chance since my Delta fell off the table onto a concrete floor.

I suppose I lucked out when I searched [...] When you use this tool, deffinately lower the flange of the dust chute and close the gap between the orange plate and the knife blades. This combined with a vacuum system will virtually eliminate chips/dust. Much more pleasant to use now since I have 80% less mess to clean up! Additionally, I suggest cutting a piece of plywood 13"x48" to all but eliminate the dreaded SNIPE... This board needs to be clamped to the tool bed and thus allows for a longer support. The rollers although neat and useful in their own way don't really give enough support to take care of the snipe.
The only real improvements in my opinion would be to make a quick disconnect for the dust chute/top cover to allow for easier on/off needs. As of now you gotta unscrew a few screws but is that even a really big deal? Secondly the video should be DVD not VHS, who still watches those? Finally, JET should supply the set-up/gauge blocks for this machine. If they supplied them wouldn't that take out the possible error of making them yourself to gauge the roller to knife offset?
Just my .02 worth'

JET 13 Planer/Molder -- GREAT July 17, 2006

I just bought this at local wood hobby store, initials WC. Their price was $800; I called on phone and asked if any coupons were out that I should be aware of, and the manager yelled at the salesman to honor a 10% coupon coming out in late July. This is the third time they have done this for me. I planed about 150 feet of american cherry and brazilian cherry. This unit works GREAT. Other than adjusting the rollers, it worked just fine with no adjustments. The 3 inches of snipe others commented on can be eliminated by properly supporting on in feed and out feed. I did have 1 or 2 runs with some snipe throughout the piece, but I just continued to run it through with nominal cuts and it was eliminated. My guess is that certain wood characteristics come together on a piece of wood to make it more prevalent, but it can be eliminated. Highly recommend this unit.
smooth! February 1, 2006

great piece of equipment. sets up quickly, all fittings were cast very well. everything was tuned perfectly right out of the box. Base and wheels move smootly. Very fine adjustments on thickness. Dust port works great. Only thing I'd like to see change, if possible, is that changing speeds mean you have to reverse the gears manually which is easy, but greasy. I'd recommend wering disposable gloves
