About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

Bosch 1594K 6.5 Amp 3-1/4-Inch Planer Kit Feature

  • 3-1/4-inch planer kit with 2-blade system, chip ejection switch, and ratcheting depth knob
  • 6-1/2 amp motor delivers 16,500 rpm; easy-to-adjust bevel fence; spring-loaded park rest stand
  • Durable micrograin carbide blades
  • Includes planer, bevel guide fence, blade wrench, chip bag, and case
  • 11-1/8-inch shoe length; 6 pounds; 1-year warranty
This well-designed planer offers fast stock removal and the smoothest finish--exactly what we expected from Bosch. The powerful 6.5 amp motor runs the versatile two-blade Woodrazor system at 16,500 rpm with a protective shield that covers the section of blade that's not in use. The fence itself deserves applause--bevels are accurate and easy to adjust. We love the chip ejection as well. Too many times, we've tried tools with an exhaust system that might as well not be there, but this one actually moves the removed stock and it's multidirectional! Deep cuts are possible in just one pass without bogging or chatter. There's even a spring-loaded park rest stand that protects blade and workpiece. The saw is a special shape that allows easy start-up in the middle of a workpiece. Accidental starts are a thing of the past because of the lock-off release button. Bosch thought of everything; we're impressed. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste This well-designed planer offers fast stock removal and the smoothest finish--exactly what we expected from Bosch.
