Review: Second Thoughts - Feb, 2023 There are 26 cutting heads on a six sided spindle, secured by 52 hex head bolts. I spent almost two hours replacing all of them. The 26 cutters are arranged in 6 groups of 5,4,4,5,4,4. Rockler now sells carbide cutting heads in pkgs. of 10 at a cost of 30% more than the steel heads. This is an update to a previous review of the Jet Planer. When the machine was new it could plane teak stock with ease on a 15 amp breaker because the knives were sharp and perfectly aligned. After using it for a day or two the rubber feed rollers had trouble pulling the stock through the cutting head and the 15 amp fuse began to blow repeatedly. The stock was also being pulled in at an angle where when the knives were sharp the stock went through straight. To fix the problem, I switched to a circuit with a 20 amp breaker and used the included hex tool to unscrew and rotate all of the knives 180 degrees. (The knives are reversible and have two cutting edges.) This returned the machine to its original condition and it planed teak as it did when I first took it out of the box. I attached a video showing the six sides of the cutting spindle and the way the knives are attached to it. Unscrewing and rotating all of the knives took me an hour. There are also pictures of the crank that adjusts the cutting head up and down and a picture of the wheel that makes it possible to precisely adjust the thickness of the finished board. Final thoughts on the Jet Planer. This is a good tool that has sub standard steel knives. It works longer on soft wood than it does on teak. But for my teak planning jobs it is only good for small projects. For about $180 I can buy a full set of knives, but it takes an hour to install them. Carbide knives are not available. The De Walt planer does have carbides blades available. Review: Far exceeded my expectations - I was astounded at the ease that this planer (& helix blades) dressed my 2x10 ash lumber. I have a 16” floor planer (220v) but needed a smaller planer. This bench-top unit out performs my larger planer hands down. Helix blades eliminate the sniping and chipping of grain seen with standard straight blades, plus there’s less down time due to blade sharpening. Also, this planer is MUCH quieter. Lastly, the dressed lumber requires very little sanding. I should have made this purchase long ago. Update June 2024. Still 5 Stars. I’ve routinely ran lumber 12” wide x 12 feet long, including Ash, Oak, Mahogany & Maple. The planer performs exceptionally (despite my lack of consistent maintenance). It is important to secure the planer and provide solid level surfaces for inbound/outbound feeds. ## Features - Helical-style cutterhead with 6 rows of 26 individual quick-change high-speed steel inserts for a smoother and quieter cut - Precision-machined cast iron bed and steel cover assist in keeping boards flat and reduces snipe - Four-post design for maximum control and support of cutterhead - Powerful 2-HP, 15-amp motor turns the cutterhead at 10,000 RPM - Adjustable folding infeed/outfeed tables for leveling to bed and saves shop space when stored - Maximum depth of cut 1/8", 6" depth, and 13" width capacity - Adjustable depth stop for consistent repetitive cuts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QSCZR6D | | Amperage | 15 Amps | | Base Material | Cast Iron | | Best Sellers Rank | #211,886 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #10 in Power Benchtop Planers | | Brand | Jet | | Brand Name | Jet | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 170 Reviews | | Cutting Depth | 0.13 Inches | | Cutting width | 13 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00731325762341 | | Included Components | Planer, Crank Handle, Dust Hood, Wrench, HSS inserts | | Input Voltage | 115 Volts | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 28"L x 22"W x 19"H | | Item Type Name | Benchtop Planer | | Item Weight | 75 Pounds | | Manufacturer | JET | | Manufacturer Part Number | 180410 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 5-Year Warranty (if used for commercial or industrial purposes then defaults to a 2-Year Warranty) | | Material | Alloy Steel , Cast Iron | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Cast Iron | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 10000 RPM | | Model Number | 722130 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 28"L x 22"W x 19"H | | Style | Benchtop planer | | Style Name | Benchtop planer | | UPC | 731325762341 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Jet - **Color:** White - **Item Weight:** 75 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Cast Iron - **Product Dimensions:** 28"L x 22"W x 19"H ## Images ![JET 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer for Woodworking, Helical Style Cutterhead with 2-Speed (18 FPM / 26 FPM) Feed Rate, 2 HP, 120V 1Ph (JWP-13BT) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oZhYjzetL.jpg) ![JET 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer for Woodworking, Helical Style Cutterhead with 2-Speed (18 FPM / 26 FPM) Feed Rate, 2 HP, 120V 1Ph (JWP-13BT) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71M7IgOg6WL.jpg) ![JET 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer for Woodworking, Helical Style Cutterhead with 2-Speed (18 FPM / 26 FPM) Feed Rate, 2 HP, 120V 1Ph (JWP-13BT) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X8qsKd3UL.jpg) ![JET 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer for Woodworking, Helical Style Cutterhead with 2-Speed (18 FPM / 26 FPM) Feed Rate, 2 HP, 120V 1Ph (JWP-13BT) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iaWvpgwhL.jpg) ![JET 13-Inch Benchtop Thickness Planer for Woodworking, Helical Style Cutterhead with 2-Speed (18 FPM / 26 FPM) Feed Rate, 2 HP, 120V 1Ph (JWP-13BT) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612nNECq35L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why does the description say helical style when it is not helical?** A: For $100 more you can get a true helical style grizzly 13 inch planer. I hate that jet is falsely advertising their planer. These HSS inserts won't last nearly as long or make as smooth of a cut as the true helical style planers. **Q: Con que voltaje funciona, funcionara con 220v** A: 115-Volt, 1-Phase **Q: What material are the inserts? Are they multi sided so you can rotate if dull.** A: Cutters are 2 sided HSS. **Q: Where can you buy the inserts** A: Do an E-Bay search.

I think the spiral design with segmented cutters reduces tear-out and provides a smoother cut. It also creates much smaller chips, which should minimize clogging. I've been using it to plane 12' lengths of white oak and it has pulled the boards through with ease. There is some snipe at the beginning and end of the boards, but that is to be expected on pieces that long and heavy. The chip chute did a great job of directing the chips to the dust collector. ## Frequently Bought Together - JET 13-Inch Benchtop Planer, Helical Style, 18/26 FPM, 120V 1Ph (Model JWP-13BT) - JET 6-Inch Benchtop Jointer, Helical Cutterhead, 1 HP, 115V 1Ph (Model JJ-6HHBT) - JET Universal Benchtop Machine Table (728100) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/141224011-jet-13-inch-benchtop-thickness-planer-for-woodworking-helical-style](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/141224011-jet-13-inch-benchtop-thickness-planer-for-woodworking-helical-style) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
