Editorial Review: Product Description: Motor Voltage: 115/230V Horsepower: 1HP, 1Ph Amazon.com Review: When it comes to jointers, there aren't a lot of differences among the leaders in the market. Like other manufacturers, Jet uses heavy-duty cast iron in the fence, jointer base, and infeed/outfeed tables and offers a three-blade drum and built-in 4-inch dust port. Their design, however, features a couple of innovations that changed our "jointers are jointers" mindset. While the infeed tables in other models can only be raised or lowered with a rod or lever system, this machine's design allows you to adjust both of the feed tables by rotating smooth, industrial-style hand wheels. This feature lends itself to easier tapers and gives you more control when you need to take off precise measurements, like 1/64 of an inch, a setting that can frustrate woodworkers lifting the arms up or down on other machines. The fence glides extremely smoothly throughout its range of motion and tilts both ways, but, where other brands offer fixed stops only at 45 and 90 degrees, Jet's jointer adjusts to quickly reproduce multiple cuts at any angle you find necessary. Driven by a 4,850 rpm, 1-horsepower induction motor completely encased in a welded steel stand, this jointer comes prewired for 115-volt outlets and can be converted to run off 230-volt sources. As a final touch, Jet designed the industrial start switch with holes behind the button for locking with a readily available Master Lock to keep coworkers or family members safe from accidental injury. --Justin Paul Average Rating:
 Rating: - JET JJ-6CSX Jointer - Good valueI think this is a good value for the price. I compared this model with Delta, and couldn't justify the additional cost for the Delta. If you do woodworking for a living, you'll probably want something better, but for the serious woodworker/hobbyist, I think this is a good product and I wouldn't go with anything cheaper. I've used mine regularly for about four months. A few things I've found: using a vacuum/dust collector is a almost a necessity as chips accumulate quickly. If you don't, you'll at ... Read More Rating:  - Gotta love itI'm very happy with this jointer. I'll be retiring an old Craftsman machine now! The Jet went together fairly easily and didn't need any major adjustments. It cuts very smoothly and can handle the hardest wood I've run over it. The length of board it can handle is limited by the bed length, but I don't build a lot of furniture that requires pieces longer than 4 or 5 feet. Rating: - Nice machineI have had this machine for about 6 weeks, and it has been flawless. Pretty straightforward to assemble (the manual is very good), and nicely finished. It runs with a smooth, powerful hum that suggests a solid, quality machine. I have planed and jointed cherry, maple, ash, and cocobolo with good success and without any complaints from the machine. Dust collection with a shop vac is pretty good. I picked the machine up locally, and so cannot comment on packing/shipping issues. I'm ... Read More Rating: - Great toolI had a 4" craftsmen jointer for years and decided to upgrade my shop with a 6" jointer. Reviewing various models, I decided on the Jet 6CSX. My shop is pretty small and this machine fits well in the spot I had picked out for it. Machine assembly is realtively easy. It is heavy though. Two people needed to carry it down into my shop area, prior to assembly. After realizing how heavy this jointer was, I purchased a HTC mobile base. I highly recommend that a mobile base be used if you have any ... Read More Rating: - A great addition to my shopI investigated Delta and Grizzly before deciding on Jet. I always liked Jet products but for one reason or another selected other manufacturers for other tools. This time Jet got the "nod" and I purchased a planer. Since I have a DeWalt planer I bought the Jointer largely to finish off edges for panel joining and just plaing edge cleaning. The jointer arrived as expected. Assembly was fairly easy with no major (or minor) issues. I hadn't used a jointer in long time but found the Jet easy to align and ... Read More |
