The JET JWP-13BTK 13 in. Benchtop Thickness Planer (Stock No. JT1-2988) delivers powerful surface planing performance in a compact, portable design built for jobsite mobility and shop space efficiency. Driven by a 15A motor powering a 9,500 RPM 3-knife cutterhead, this machine processes boards up to 13 in. wide and 6 in. thick. Designed for small-shop craftsmen, finish carpenters, and serious hobbyists, the JWP-13BTK provides fast cutting action and reliable board sizing without requiring the footprint or dedicated circuit of a large stationary machine.

Equipped with three high-speed steel double-sided knives, each blade features two razor-sharp cutting edges that can be reversed when dull, extending blade utility and minimizing setup time. A 24.6 FPM feed rate and 1/16 in. table movement per handwheel turn allow precise, controlled material removal across both softwoods and hardwoods. Integrated depth stop presets let operators return quickly to standard board thickness settings for batch processing consistency. Built-in carrying handles and folding support tables allow one person to move, set up, or store the sub-70 lb. unit effortlessly.
