The CWI-JP1604HC features and impressive 16” x 65.5” long heavily ribbed cast iron jointer table for excellent support with longer boards. Both the parallelogram infeed and outfeed jointer tables are independently adjustable for height using easy access levers on the front of the machine. There are two lever table locks to ensure the tables do not move once set to position. The front table adjusts for thickness of cut and the back table adjusts for accuracy to the cutter head height. The cast iron thickness planer table is 16” x 24” with a support roller for added workpiece support. The planer table is adjusted for height from 1/8” to an amazing 8 ¾” thickness capacity by use of a large hand wheel and a digital readout for accurate settings.

The changeover from Jointer to planer is really very simple and takes no time at all. Simply release the table security locks at each side of the cabinet under the table and raise the jointer surface in one move as both infeed and outfeed tables lift together. Then simply flip the dust collection hood over from jointer mode to thickness planer mode and you are ready to go. The other nice feature is because both tables lift at the same time the fence assembly does not have to be moved or removed. It simply remains in place. The heavy profile aluminum fence is 6” tall and an amazing 43” long for excellent work piece support as it travels the length of the jointer bed. The fence securely locks in any position for angle work as well.
