My recent CL find - Jet JPM 13. Want to see a Rebuild?

[Cary Falk]

I pulled this out of a basement for cheap. It doesn't really look like it but it is a Jet Planer/Moulder. I will be using it as a moulder only because I have a 15" planer. My friend is building a house and wants to make his moulding so it also justified the purchase. It is missing the stand, switch, a couple of panels, and a few misc parts. I have it completely tore apart. The rollers are shot and off to Western Roller to get recoated. If anybody is interested in seeing this thing go back together, let me know. I know it is not as exciting as an old iron but it might help somebody in the future.

I'd like to see more Cary, always love to see tools brought back to working condition (old or not)...and I'm not sure how the moulding part works ;)

[Matt Day]

Sign me up! I like seeing machines get fixed up.

[Cary Falk]

Well lets get started.

Here are a few more before pictures.

Here is a better picture of the bad roller.

This is the outside of the gear box. These 2 gears are swapped to change the speeds between planer and molder. They are accessible through a hole in the side cover

The inside of the gear box is packed with grease instead of filled with oil.

Parts are cleaned.

Now I wait for parts

[daryl moses]

Count me in! I love watching a good rebuild.

[Cary Falk]

I am still waiting for some parts. I took a chance on the Grizzly G1037Z hood and dust shoot fitting. They came on Wed. and they do not. They are not even close enough to try to make work so they wer sent back and the Jet parts were ordered.
I decided to put the cutter head and gear box back in.
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/caryincamas/20160304_110433_zpsu50qsg3i.jpg

I found it interesting that the Jet uses a 6202 and 6203 bearing the the Grizzly uses a 6202 and 5204.
The pulley side was the hardest to get the bearing on. I used a socket to get the bearing on the shaft. I then hade to improvise to get the bearing into the tool. This was my solution that uses clampsto pull it into place.

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/caryincamas/20160304_125443_zpsw49vh5ip.jpg

The gearbox sid is easier. The bearing is pressed into the gearbox and held in by a retaining ring. The shaft only goes in the bearing half way then a cap with a screw in gear holds it in place.

The gear box cover is ready to go on just need to fill ti with grease and close it up.

Put the cogs, gears, and chains on.
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/caryincamas/20160304_153248%201_zpsbczad4dy.jpg

Pulley is slid on the shaft and held with a screw and retaining washer on the end. The anti kickback paws are strung back on the rod and screwed in place..

I have started on the stand.

[daryl moses]

Lookin good! Thanks for the update, looking forward to seeing more.

[Matt Day]

Looking good! I like how the base is looking, very sharp and clean.

[Jim Becker]

That's going to be a very nice addition to your shop when you're done with this great restoration!

[Cary Falk]

Looks like the rollers and the few remaining parts are coming tomorrow. Should finish this up this weekend. A little bit of paint and a poor pin stripe on the bottom and the base is about ready. The logos are just printed on inkjet sticker paper I had laying around from another project.

[Michael Sloop]

Looks great, excited to see the rest.

[Daniel O'Neill]

This is cool! It's really similar to the first planer my dad bought and that I learned about planing & snipe etc :) Nice job so far!

[Jerry Olexa]

Quite an undertaking!! Good for you!!! Keep us posted...thanks

[Chris Padilla]

Sweet!! Keep it going until we see sweet molding pouring out the front! :D

[Cary Falk]

Well the rest of the parts came today. including these beauties back from Western Roller.
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/caryincamas/20160317_145011_zpsw480l0qo.jpg

Now to put them in.

Now we will put the base together. The table was locked up when I bought it because the center sprockets and chain were gone and it was putting the table in a bind.

The table still does not move as smooth as I like so I will have to work on it some more tomorrow.

[Cary Falk]

It bothered me that the bed was not smooth so I took another stab at it after dinner. I put the lid on it and tightened everything down. I made a couple of blocks to align the head with the table. One side was about 1/16" lower than the other. After a little fine tuning I think I got it pretty close. A little lube and several passes up and down the lead screws and I think it is a smooth as it is going to get.

[Cary Falk]

I liked the idea of the quick disconnect but the supplied plug only fits a computer supply and I didn't think the cord I had was big enough. I rewired it.

Put the chip deflector in before I button things up.

Tomorrow I will build the sled for the molding.

[daryl moses]

Outstanding job!! Wish I could see it run in person.

[Keith Hankins]

Cool I love to see these threads

[Dave Lehnert]

Looks GREAT!
Never would guess the base is made form wood.

[Jim Becker]

That's really coming together! (literally and figuratively :) )

[Cary Falk]

Just thought I would end this thread with the pictures of the sled and knife. I'll throw in a video to show it works. Let me know if you can't view the video.

If the knives are small enough then you can just remove the center gib and leave the blades in. I bought a 3 1/2" crown profile so out comes the knives.
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/caryincamas/20160402_141623_zpsrza9t6cz.jpg

The knives are available in a thicker single knife or 3 thinner knives. I decided to try the single knife with balancers.
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/caryincamas/20160402_141331_zpsdndpwhx4.jpg

Put the gibs, knife and balancers in.

[Chris Padilla]

Sweet! Exemplary job, Cary. It is sure to provide you with many miles of molding. :)

[Don Morris]
