SCM Jointer w/ Spiral Cutterhead - J127LH (1PH)
The Cantek J127LH Heavy Duty 12” Jointer is a truly industrial long bed jointer capable of producing perfectly jointed material used in the production of wood furniture, doors, face frames. and more. The heavy-duty cast iron infeed & outfeed table and back fence provide superior vibration damping which results in an optimum jointed finish.
The spiral insert cutterhead with its two-sided solid carbide inserts provides optimum stock removal with a superior finish. The insert knife cutterhead in its spiral pattern runs extremely quiet and the knives have an extremely long life. The parallelogram table adjustment ensures a minimal gap between the cutterhead resulting in the best quality of cut.
