A jointer/planer is the base of the joinery workshop. When you are jointing or planing the lumber you are laying the basis for the following work. The better planer, the better final result you will get. So, this is a machine that is well worth going in for. Logosol's jointer/planer is built the same way as the professionals' many times more expensive machines. It has precisionprocessed machine tables of cast iron, a stable side fence and double motors. Here you find the power to joint and plane the hardest sorts of wood. With the help of a lever the front jointer table can quickly be adjusted for a cutting depth of between 0-10 mm (0 and 7/16"). The rear jointer table can be microadjusted. The table is fully 310 mm (12") wide, which allows jointing of wide and thick lumber. The side fence is very stable and can be adjusted from 0 to 45 degrees. Since you do not have to alter the machine between jointing and planing operation, you can rely on the machine to keep its settings. Other planers have to be altered between jointing and planing operation. With this jointer/planer you do not have to fold away the jointer table or remove the chip outlet. You just plane immediately after the jointing without even turning the motor off! This will, of course, save you a lot of time, and at the same time you get outstanding precision and capacity.
