All-Enclosed Steel Base Cabinet for Stability
The JJ-6CSDX comes with an all-steel enclosed base cabinet. An integral tab at each end of the cabinet bottom makes it easy to secure the jointer to the floor whenever a suitable surface is available. This cabinet also provides a stable platform and puts the table surface at a comfortable 31-1/4 inches above the floor.

Fan-Cooled Motor for Consistent Performance
The base cabinet also houses the 1 HP, 1 phase 115/230-volt TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor (pre-wired 115-volt) and wiring to help isolate those components from the dust-prone jointer environment. A large door on the rear of the base cabinet provides easy access to the motor, which spins the JJ-6CSDX cutterheads at a very consistent 6000 RPM for a desirable balance between speedy material removal and a silky-smooth surface on the wood.

Long Cast-Iron Table for Better Accuracy
The JET JJ-6CSDX features a long, cast-iron table with a smooth, flat precision-machined finish that keeps the wood sliding predictably while ensuring accuracy. Measuring 55-3/4 x 7-3/8 inches, this table makes straightening large project pieces accurate and reliable. Additionally, the overall cut capacity of 6-1/16 x 1/2 inches (WxD) can keep up with even the most active of home wood shops. Finally, the outfeed tables have built-in 1/2-inch rabbeting ledges that add a little more versatility to the jointer.

Handwheels for Easy Adjustments; Automatic Limiter for Safety
Both the infeed and outfeed tables feature Jet's exclusive front-mounted handwheels to make table height adjustments easy and accurate. And for safety and protection, an automatic limiter on the infeed table prevents the operator from accidentally taking overly aggressive cuts deeper than 1/8 inch. For added convenience, the depth limiter can be manually overridden easily but requires the operator to intentionally release it.

Steel Cutterhead with Three Knives for Long Life
The JJ-6CSDX uses a precision-machined steel cutterhead fitted with three high-quality knives measuring 6 1/6 x 3/4 x 5/64 inches (WxLxD). These knives have two cutting edges that effectively double their life, and they are aligned using Jet's exclusive auto quick-set system. A pair of cams at each knife actually adjusts the knife height. Once set, the cams are locked in position and the knives can be reversed or replaced without having to reset the height, eliminating the need for a knife-setting gauge.

Additionally, precision-machined pockets in the knives let you slip them onto the cams, thus retaining the setting. The openings in the knives are also wide enough that individual knives can be offset to compensate for a nick, further extending the life of each knife edge.

User-Friendly Features for Easy, Pleasant Operation
Designed to be an easy-to-operate, helpful addition to your shop, the JJ-6CSDX features a two-way tilting fence with positive stops at 45 and 90 degrees to handle bevel operations, as well as industrial push-button controls conveniently placed for easy access. Finally, a built-in dust chute with four-inch port connects to your collection system for efficient dust and chip disposal.

The JJ-6CSDX measures 22 x 37.5 x 56 inches (WxHxD), weighs 237 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

4 out of 5 stars Great tool   October 3, 2009
Help Desk guy (Bel Air, MD)
This puppy came out of the box easy and set up was possible by myself. When I ran some 100 year old black oak the texture was smooth as glass and I felt no vibration like I did with my old $250 jointer. Not 5 stars cause I really wanted the helix head and the price went down considerably right after I bought it after waiting three months for the price to come down.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Choice   April 24, 2008

Great price and great service. Delivery was a breeze and there were no shipping charges. This is what gets me to amazon vice the local woodraft store. My stand had a dent and they offered me a 10% price break since it was not a critical function. They offered to do either. Set up was easy but it is a heavy piece. Just needed someone to help me put the jointer on the stand. You are likely to scratch the top when you manuever the jointer into position. If that is a concern put something under the jointer as you position on the stand. I checked squareness and the level and with the exception of tweaking the installation of the fence all was perfect. Opted to test it at its limit from the start. Squared a piece of 2.5 by 6 inch white oak. Whisper quiet and a perfect cut. I would recommend to any who need a medium to heavy duty jointer. Had a free mobile base from a previous Amazon promotion the that was the ticket for ease of movement. I have found nothing that stops this from a 5* rating. Long time home woodworker. B

4 out of 5 stars Good machine   February 10, 2008

0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm not an experienced person with jointers but I think I will like the machine once I've become familar with it. I put it together by myself--with the aid of a chain hoist. Would recommend two people. The manual does not do a great job of explaining how to operate --and adjust the infeed or outfeed tables. I think a mobile base is a must for any shop without an abundance of room. The machine is top heavy so don't skimp on the dimensions of the base. Follow the book on set up. Set it up right and it will do a great job. Don't hesitate to call the company and ask questions. Some of the gibs--outfeed esp.--are ackward to reach.


5 out of 5 stars excellent value   December 3, 2007

Excellent value

I have owned this machine for 10 months now. I have jointed several thousand board feet of hardwood so I've kicked the tires and taken it around the block. The knife alignment system is excellent and works as advertised. Adjustment of depth in feed and out feed is excellent and easy.

The only thing I can fault is getting the fence 90 deg to the bed can be finicky. After locking the fence it moves just a bit out of square. This is really common for jointers of this design. Get yourself a digital tilt box and it's much easy; but if you're using a t-square it can get a little annoying. I also believe this machine is a bit underpowered at times; I have actually ground it to a stop on several occasions.

After several sets of knifes I decided to ditch the stock head with the Byrd tool SHELIX head. Very easy upgrade; just have Byrd install new bearing and it's a 2 hour job to install the new head and reset all tolerances.
