Jet Jointer/Planer combo

Gary,
Is this the 10” model? if so it’s the very same model I was considering. Most folk I spoken with have stated it’s a just to much of a bother to change over function and that I should not go the combo machine route.

What are your thoughts?

Could you post a review with pictures? I have been thinking about getting on of these.

Cool name BTW

Your clearvue will handle the job easily. Make sure you run the 6” line with a 6” gate to the machine and reduce it at the outlet. I run a 16” jointer and planer and use the 5hp clearvue. I have never had any problems with dust collection. Have fun!!!

I’ll take a few pics tomorrow if I can. So far, I really like the machine. It is the 12 inch version and very easy to convert. Much more powerful and quieter than my Dewalt 735 and 6 inch jet jointer. I will need to spend some time learning the best way to make it work for me, but so far, I am impressed. It is great not having to take up so much space, and I doubt I would have ever purchased a 12 inch jointer.
Do a google search for this machine, there are several very good reviews and even demonstration videos on the web. Very accurate from what I have seen so far.

I posted some pics and reviews of the machine in both modes in the reviews section. My biggest problem ( and original reason for post ) was the dust collection in planer mode. Some input from other users easily fixed the problem, and now I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Almost everything in life involves compromise of some sort, this machine fits the bill for me.
