A feature-packed, professional-grade jointer
The industrial-duty South Bend 12" x 88" Jointer with Helical Cutterhead is made with uncompromising quality and packed with features to consistently produce high-quality results.
The 12" helical cutterhead, with the inserts slightly angled for shearing action, ensures the smoothest finish possible, minimizing tearout in highly figured woods. It also runs quieter than straight-knife and spiral cutterhead models from other brands.
With the parallelogram table setup — each table is mounted on four pivot points — table adjustments are smooth and precise, allowing you to have both infeed and outfeed tables perfectly parallel.
The large handwheels with locks are conveniently located on the front of the machine. They smoothly rotate and make adjusting table height a pleasure.
You'll be able to dial in the exact cut depth you need every time thanks to a digital readout for infeed table height.
A large "knee-stop" emergency stop button on the cabinet stand means you'll be able to cut power even if you have both hands on the workpiece.
Other features include the precision-ground cast-iron fence with rack-and-pinion lateral adjustment, pedestal-mounted controls, and more.
EVERY SERIOUS WOODWORKING SHOP NEEDS A JOINTER IT CAN COUNT ON. THIS MACHINE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND.
