Well it's here. Went and picked up my JJP-12HH yesterday. Will fire it up later today. Still a heavy beast but isn't as awe inspiring as a aircraft jointer but I still like it
Duuuude! Sweet! Not to steal your thunder, but I got the same machine (with helical head) on the way...it's in Greensboro right now, but won't get here until Monday :-(
Yup, it's not an aircraft carrier - that's kind of the point in a combo machine, right? Saving space?
Don't forget to post how the machine actually runs, planes etc. I want to smell virtual shavings
As the good neighbor that I am trying to be if you do not have the room yet, I will keep in in my new shop with the 220v to feed it and I HAVE REAL HEAT to keep it warm for you.PLUS It will fit right in with all its brothers and sisters. My 6" Jet jointer and my Jet 2hp shaper
:rotflm:
PS: I will put your name on your Little Giant ladder so it does not get confused standing next to mine
Boy you did get a nice one, Sorry I'am Herbie and i have a Jet 15" planer and I love it and I use it quite a bit and just getting ready to plane some chestnut oak & satin walnut. I'd realy like to have 2 sided and edge planer but to expencive for me. Hope you enjoy it and have fun.:eusa_clap
Holy Smokes!! I just looked up the price on one of those bad boys and all I can say is, to paraphrase Sammy Sosa, "America been 'belly, belly' good to you!!!!
Finally got the put the plug and hooked it up last night. It's my first time using a helical head and man is it quiet. I'll give an in depth review once I run a few more boards through.
Bas - I knew you mentioned you had the same one coming in a different thread I was expecting you to beat me to the gloat
Geoff you're right things have went well for me as of late but I tried to take the stance of cry once when you buy it. But it's a pretty hard cry. I'd love to have a standalone 12" jointer but my little shop is overflowing as it is. Great addition so far, I'm picking through my woodpile and I can't wait to make my next project out of some wider boards:eusa_danc
