I need to move up from my Delta 12" planer to one with something more
to it. (I have about 1000 b.f. of old growth oak barnboards to plane
down) I'm thinking about the Jet JPM-13.

Anyone have anything good bad or indifferent to say about it? How long
have you had it? How much wood have you run through it? Would you buy
it again? What would you change about it?


I've had mine for about 2.5 years. It gets used a fair bit (I do
commissioned furniture pieces, plus stuff for our house)- I'd guess a
couple of thousand linear feet, primarily of maple, cherry and walnut.
I've changed the blades once, and need to do it again, soon. I've had no
problems, handles 12+ inch hard maple no problem--although the shavings
from maple tend to clog the dust hood. I find it a solid machine that fit
my needs (small shop and no real room for a 15" planer).
