The KoW "HQ" workshop in Geneva just received a major upgrade in the form of a Jet 410 mm jointer-planer with a helical cutter head and we couldn't be more excited!
In practice, this means:
Jointing/planing capacity has increased from 310 mm to 410 mm;
The new jointer's helical cutter head with its carbide knives is also significantly quieter and produces a pristine surface regardless of tricky grain, knots, or anything else.
The folks over at IGM Tools have a whole article on the advantages of a helical carbide jointer vs. the traditional HSS straight blade version – check it out here!
Personally, this is now my favorite machine across all our workshops, and I'm really excited to use it and see it being used!
