Jet?
I was quite surprised when I received the machine. It appears to be a Jet painted yellow. It is not at all like the older Powermatic machines I have used. The spindle was not centered in the table top hole. The machine made a clank noise when I started it. It turned out that the pulley on the spindle was loose. I do not like the way the belt adjusts to change the spindle speed. The machine is quiet and continued to run quiet since fixing the pulley and cenering the spindle in the hole.

The top is highly polished and has stayed polished. The metal parts of the fence seemed to work good. The infeed and outfeed wooden parts of the fence were not flat nor true in line with each other. I changed the wood and flattened them so they are flat and in line with each other.

This machine does not uphold the Powermatic name of the past.

Just what I wanted: solid, dependable and versatile
Solid, dependable, versatile. That's what I was looking for in a shaper. This machine is solid. Once it is set up to run a job, it takes care of itself. Everything locks down solidly and it runs with very little vibration. I like the versatility of interchangeable shafts, including the ability to use router bits in the 1/2" collet adapter. The reversing feature allows me to do climb cuts on difficult woods and to use some shaper cutters "upside down" to increase their usefulness. I did add a power feed unit shortly after buying the shaper. It makes the climb cuts possible, and it makes all operations safer. I have the shaper on an HTC mobile base to allow positioning the machine to handle extra-long stock in my small shop.

I have not discovered anything negative about this tool. It did require a little touch-up work when first received. It only amounted to what seems to be the usual cleaning up of a sharp edge here and there. Otherwise the workmanship is excellent. And I love the mirror finish on the cast iron top, which still shines after a year of use. ... Read more

shipping is a joke
I bought this machine thinking it was 1 to 2 weeks shipping, three weeks go by, now you say another month befor shipping, if I new it would take this long, Id bought it someplace else, will it be another 30 days after march 29th? We will see... I wont buy again from this service...

excellent
I purchased this machine about 6 mos. ago. I have been perfectly pleased with its performance. The price is definitely a plus, it does perform as well as more pricey machines I use at work. The only drawback encountered with this machine is that when taking a larger "bite" out of harder woods, you must take it "gingerly". Common sense, however it is the only limitation I have come across-an all around good machine!! ... Read more

Nice Machine But There Are Better Deals Out There
I've had this Jet shaper for 5 years and have only one real complaint: The Inserts are nearly impossible to remove. You'll end up using a gear puller to get them out. With that said this unit has seen much use over the years and has run perfectly throughout. It is very smooth running with nicely cast & machined parts. It should be looked at as a really, really, nice router table or an entry level shaper.

I got mine on "Special" when Jet was begining to change the paint on their machines from blue to white (mine is blue) and I paid $375 for it. Considering that at that time there were no such things as router lifts and the few good router tables availiable were nearly the same in cost, I got one heck of a deal.

But look at the Jet JWS-22CS if you are looking for a entry level shaper - for 50 bucks more you get extra power and a closed stand. The fence system is nearly identical (and of good design).

The JWS-18HO would make a lot more sense if Jet lowered it's price to the under $400 range. The same basic shaper but painted green and with 3/4 hp can also be found elsewhere for much less.

Not too small after all
I originally wanted to buy a larger machine, but the 1.5 HP Jet was not available - so I opted for the 18HO (same spindle and travel spec.'s) and hoped it could get the job done. Was I surprised! I use 1/2 inch router bits for making RP doors and cabinet work, etc. mostly with 3/4 stock. The single horsepower motor breezes through anything I've tried. The slightly smaller table is not a problem - to work large panels any model needs add-on wings. I'm over 50 and have worked with machinery all my life - the Jet is well-made. Castings are free of scaling and voids, and the machining is right on. You can tell the QC folks at Jet earn their pay. I used the money I saved to buy high quality router bits. For home shop or small jobs this machine is plenty good and is vastly superior to a more expensive router table set-up. ... Read more
