Found this planer on an auction I plan to attend tomorrow, just curious what everyone thinks it is worth. Jet JWP-15CS 15” Planer 3HP

Also I currently have the dewalt 13” 2 speed planer but I just want more power. I know the jet is more motor but its still a straight knife machine. Am I going to see that big of an improvement or should I hold out and buy a helical head machine instead?

If the price is right, I would buy the one you pictured. The chances of finding a helical head on an auction or for a reduced price is pretty low. Plus, nothing wrong with straight knives. As hobbyists, we don’t have to change blades very often.

One nice thing IMO is with the cutterhead assembly moving vs. the table, once you have in-feed and out-feed set up, they won’t change if you alter your cutterhead adjustments. That’s the way it is on my Delta and it’s proven to be advantageous.
