Using Jet Power Tools
By Kurt K. Schefken
If you have or are considering setting up a woodworking shop, you will have to have some basic power tools. If you are looking to get the best quality for the money, Jet power tools are an excellent choice. They have a full line of power tools for anyone to get a woodworking shop going. Here are some of the essential power tools you will need in your shop.
Jet Lathe
A lathe is one of the most versatile power tools you can own. A Jet lathe is easy to assemble and operate since it comes with an excellent set of instructions. You can choose a lathe with a number of tools and features, depending on your use. For instance, you can get a Jet lathe that has an eight piece chisel, as well as some other hand tools already built in. You will save money on features like this since you will not have to buy as many additional tools.
The Jet Lathe has some really fabulous features, such as a very wide range of speed, from 550 to 3000 rpm, with six different speed settings and a 35 inch distance between centers, 3/4 HP motor and a 12 inch swing over bed. These features give the Jet Lathe plenty of power and versatility for just about any job you may have.
Jet Table Saw
A table saw is essential, and a Jet table saw will guarantee you the power and accuracy you will need in your woodworking shop. Models come in horsepower ranging from 3 to 5, and the fence is available from between 30 and 50 inches. As with all Jet tools, the setup is easy because of the excellent instructions. A Jet Table Saw will last for many years; just replace the blade from time to time. Some of the most important features of a Jet Table Saw are the suspended motor driven mechanism, the blade guard and anti kick back feature, to assure safe operation, a dust collection insert for insertion of a vacuum hose (for keeping the shop clean), contoured cross section to allow for a larger surface area, dual push start buttons to prevent accidental starting and securely locking fence.
Jet Planer
A Jet planer can be obtained in an open stand or closed stand, or a portable model. These sturdy planers are made of cast iron and steel so they are extremely durable. Some of the most important features are a 3 HP motor, which is fan cooled, a 4 inch dust chute, extension rollers and magnetic controls and an adjustable table. The adjustable table allows for a great deal of versatility in your projects.
Jet Drill Press
The drill press is floor mounted, with a 3/4 HP motor and a choice of 12 or 16 inch speed. The 13 inch diameter of the table gives you ample work space, and the table can be tilted to 45 degrees with the quick release clamp. There is also a Jet bench mount drill press, with 16 speeds ranging from 200 to 3630 rpms. The 10X13 work area on this press allows for a lot of workspace, and the 3/4 HP motor gives it ample power.
Using Jet power tools like these, you will create an easy to use, durable and versatile workshop for yourself.
