8" Jointer ShearTec II

The Laguna JX|8 ShearTec II is loaded with great features to make jointing safer and more enjoyable. It includes parallelogram table adjustments that travel along an arc to keep the same distance to the cutterhead. An emergency knee stop that uses a body-length bar at knee height to shut off the jointer allows the machine operator to stop the machine quickly at any position along the front of the machine, while keeping hands on the workpiece. The new JX Series machine body has been redesigned with a toe kick to allow the user to be positioned closer to the machine tables and move safer and easier along the length of the machine. Infeed tables are fitted with a pullout support roller to help support longer materials. The ShearTec II is a 6-row carbide insert cutterhead that produces a shear cut for superior surface finish on all woods, including challenging hardwoods. The ShearTec II knives and fasteners have a T-step design to maximize clamping force on the knives, preventing knife cracking and chatter. The ShearTec II cutterhead has deep grooves that make the cutterhead very quiet and improve shaving ejection.
