LAGUNA MJ12X88P - JX|12 Sheartec: II 12" Jointer

Introducing the brand new 12” Laguna Parallelogram Jointer! Edge jointing is fine, but face jointing is what they all did back in the old world. Everything starts at the jointer, probably one of the most versatile machines you can own. You must have a flat surface to accomplish anything true and this is where it starts. If you want to do the job right, this is what you need. This jointer opens up a new world that allows you to control not only your edge, but now also the face. Long beds controlled by smooth hand wheels (rather than levers) & a strong precision fence with rack & pinion adjustments sets this jointer apart, all at a very reasonable price. It is the ultimate indulgence for the demanding woodworker. Of course a jointer in this class would not be complete without the ultimate cutterhead which is why this machine comes standard with Laguna’s exclusive ShearTec II head. The Laguna ShearTec II is at the cutting edge of Spiral Cutterhead technology today. Deep gullets allow chips to exit fast & keep the head clean. The inserts are made from thicker solid German carbide & set into the head on a flat surface rather than a cone design. This allows more torque to be used when tightening the inserts. All of the inserts are slightly angled to give a shear type cut with low impact & less kick-back action. The leading edge is crowned to minimize lines appearing.

 Laguna ShearTec II heads are all 6 row; most competitors’ heads offer just 3 or 4 rows. There obviously are a host of benefits associated from the additional rows: More carbide inserts, longer life, less noise and vibration, less kick-back & smoother finish.

Features

• Parallelogram Table Adjustments – Table depth adjustments travel along an arc to keep the same distance to the cutterhead through its travel
• Emergency “Knee-Stop” – The new knee stop uses a body-length bar at knee height to shut off the JX jointer. This important safety feature allows the machine operator to stop the machine quickly at any position along the front of the machine while keeping hands on the workpiece.
• New Ergonomic Machine Body – The new JX Series machine body has been redesigned with a “toe-kick” to allow the user to position themself closer to the machine tables and to move safer and easier along the length of the machine
• In-feed Support Roller – Infeed tables are now fitted with pull-out support roller to help support longer materials
• ShearTec II Cutterhead – The ShearTec II cuttherhead comes as standard equipment on JX|12 ShearTec II Jointer.
