Jointer/Planer from Ridgid® Offers Power and Versatility



Solid construction and fence design enhance cutting accuracy

(Elyria, Ohio) Featuring a 1 HP Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) motor, dual bevel fence, and heavy-duty construction, the RIDGID® Jointer/Planer (Model JP0610) offers professionals
a versatile, high-performance machine for both jointing and planing hardwoods.

Sealed to prevent sawdust penetration, and fan-cooled for longer life, the jointer/planer's induction motor converts from 120 volts to 240 volts for continuous, high-demand applications.

A powerful belt drive delivers consistent power to the machine's cutterhead, which provides 15,000 cuts per minute (no load) for a fine finish. With a 6-1/8" maximum planing width and a 1/8" maximum depth of cut, the cutterhead has three knives, which users can easily remove, sharpen and reload for further use.

The jointer/planer is equipped with a center-mounted fence that bevels in both directions. To reduce set-up time and improve jointing accuracy, RIDGID has placed depth stops at 45°, 90°
and 135°. The patented angle gauge included helps speed fence set ups, as well.

Featuring adjustable front and rear tables, the machine also offers professionals a 4.5" bed for supporting longer work pieces. The bed includes a rabbeting ledge for precise rabbets up to 1/2" deep.

"This machine's robust motor, fence design, heavy-duty construction, and long table, add up to a jointer/planer that answers professionals' need for exceptional power and cutting accuracy," said Jeff Drake, spokesperson for RIDGID.

Designed for maximum stability, the jointer/planer has a cast iron bed, tables and fence to dampen vibration; machine-ground surfaces for more accurate planing; and a wide-stance cabinet with leveling feet. The cabinet includes storage for blade-alignment tools and push blocks, and an integral 4" dust-collection port that quickly slides out of the way when not in use.

For easier operation, RIDGID's jointer/planer also features a magnified depth scale indicator. In addition, the machine's Sot-Touch(TM) knobs and handles improve grip and enhance user comfort. A pair of push blocks is included to assist in operator control.
