Jet JPM-13CS, 13" Closed Stand Planer/Molder Combination Machine 708524 customer reviews: Timothy the Tool Man Latest comment in this first sentence. Now after using it for a while on QS Oak I find that the planer has a shake and it is bad enough to show up in the jop that it does. I have contacted Jet Tool and am waiting for them to get back to me. I am still out on how good it is. The video that came with the tool makes it look like it will be a lot of work to keep in top shape. Like blade changes or installing molder blades. I have used it and it seems to work OK. I also have a 12" Craftsman that is very easy to use. When I unpack the tool one of the panels was bent. I was able to take out most of the kink in the tin cover that covers the belt. But you can still see it. Also the motor wouldn't run, simple fix, the wire that conneted it to the on off switch had come unpluged. But I had a few bad moments. All in all, I think that if will work just fine. I still get snipe even though I have the extensions on the feed table. I get snipe with my craftsman as well. So maybe I am doing something wrong. I don't think so but you never can tell. Timothy the Tool Man You get what you pay for on this 13" JET planer I have been using my JET planer for over 3 years. Probably have run 800 board feet through it. I have an all PorterCable or Delta tool shop, but I could not justify the price of the Delta planer, so bought JET. It does the job, but I regret my choice. The first couple weeks of light use, it worked well. But, quickly, the unit became tempermental in how well the automatic feed would work (usually so poorly, I had to manually push the wood through). Sometime, the feed would not work at all. I think the gear box for the feed and speed control is poorly designed and undersized. Recently, I purchased some rough sawn oak. I had to plane the most wood ever. The unit finally bound up, tweaked the table and is now in the shop for repairs (first time in 3 years). The repairman says these planers are not all bad, but often need adjustment for feed control as they come from the factory. Maybe it will get better. But, I will not be buying any JET equipment again. Good tools are worth their weight in cast iron.
