Jet Jointer Planer - JJP 12HH

[Prashun Patel]

Just an update:

Both the FS30 and the A3-31 seem to be easy to use and changeover.

The critical differences for me are:

FS30: Has a Tersa head which users seem to love for its ease of blade change. I do mill a lot of from-the-woods lumber so having a beater and fine set of knives is appealing.

A3-31: The spiral cutter block seems to be a little quieter. Also, the digital gauge gets good marks. It also has the sliding fence which allows it to stay in place when flipping up the tables. I am not sure if that's good or bad because it seems like it'd require more space behind the unit. Hammer is also having a summer promotion right now, so the price is competitive with the Jet I was considering.
