User questions & answers

Question:	Can this jointer be attached to a 2 1/2 vac
Answer:	yes with a reducing adapter on your 2 1/2 vac
Question:	What is the recommended maximum board length that should be used with this jointer
Answer:	Maximum board length will depend on the strength of the operator and if/how well the jointer is anchored. I would think 8’ would be doable by most. Comes down to how well you can hold the workpiece down flat on roughly 16” of table before the blade.
Question:	What is the difference betwee the pc160jt and the pc160jtr
Answer:	Hello Kimberly, there is no difference. The actual model number is PC160JT. The JTR is a typo on Amazon. Porter Cable does not make a PC160JTR. Best Wishes!Tomboysupply.com
Question:	What material are the fence and table made out of
Answer:	I am 99% certan that the tables are cast aluminum, and the fence is aluminum. The weight, color and feel make this pretty evident. If it were cast iron it would weigh twice as much and be prone to rust. This jointer is as good functionally as any other. But because of its light weight it must be secured to a stable heavy base. It also needs a bit more tuning than other models. But if you are going to own any precision tools that is something you should become capable of.

User questions & answers

Answer:	No.but I am surprised at the quality for the price.
Question:	how much does it weigh
Answer:	Maximum speed (rpm) 5000 RPM Arbor size 5/8 in. According to the tech specs in the description
Question:	how wide is the cut
Answer:	In theory it should be able to cut boards up to 12" wide, however the quality was so poor, it was literally falling apart out of the box and I never powered it up and returned it out of safety concerns.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the amperage of the motor
Answer:	It is a 10 amp
Question:	what is table made of
Answer:	I'm still waiting for it arrive. Give me a couple days and I'll be glade to let you know all about it!
Question:	Yo vivo en Holanda donde la energia es a 220 y no a 110, porque ofrecen este producto para esta zona si no tienen
Answer:	This planer must be connected to a 110/120 source. To run it on 220 you have to have a voltage converter to convert electrical to 110/120.
Question:	If I had to choose between a jointer and a planer which should I choose
Answer:	The two tools kind of go together; you flatten one side of a board on a jointer, then get it so that it is all the same thickness with a planer. That said, you can use a planer to make a board flatter, but it won't be perfect. Start by running the board through on it's most stable side, making sure to go with the grain and just take a minimal amount off of that side, say a 1/16th or less so that you just get the high points. Flip the board and do the same thing on the other side, again a minimal amount, until you've got both sides fully planed. If your board is bowed, take most of your cuts on the high side, and it will lessen the tension that's causing the bow; again, it won't be perfect, but it should be better.
Question:	Is this chain or belt driven
Answer:	it is belt driven
Question:	What width of board will this plane
Answer:	There is actually 13" between the guides, but I don't think I'd try putting anything bigger than 12 1/2" through it. The board could pinch if it gets cocked in there. Remember that you need to take into account the width of the board you want to plane (whether wide or narrow) and also the density of the wood as you lower the cutter heads after each pass. If I'm planing something such as Douglas fir, I turn the crank down 1/2 a turn. If I'm doing something like maple, I'll only turn the crank down a 1/4 or even a1/6 of a turn, especially if it's a wide board, too. When you put your board through for the first pass, if you have a 3/4" board for instance, you may want to set the depth gauge a little bit higher...it won't hurt anything if it's too high, but if there's any sort of crown or twist to your board, it will keep the machine from bogging down. Same goes when you're lowering the depth gauge, if you're not sure, err on the side of caution. The material that your planer spits out should be paper thin, about a 1/4" wide, and 2 or more inches long. If it's just a bunch of little chips, say 1/4" x 1/2", you're probably planing against the grain. Flip the board over the narrow way, and send it through again. Once you've been doing it for a while, you'll be able to tell from the sound of the machine if you're going against the grain or trying to take too much off at once. Oh, one other thing, I have found that it you can't find 13" replacement blades, 12-1/2" ones will work, you just have to be careful to keep your board 1/4" to 1/2" away from the edge guide.

User questions & answers

Question:	will they fit a antique delta 6" joyner
Answer:	Grinding tile creates hazardous dust. That's where you need a wet saw which throws water at it which elimates the dust and also maintains the blade from overheating. You technically can do it with this one, but it's unsafe.
