After seeing a hand planer on your website for $866.00, I decided I can't afford to even look at your tools.... I certainly can't afford to purchase one.
I am not sure what the control knobs you are referring to.
We have found the JM-SW to be ambidextrous. I am right handed and find that pushing the table with my left hand is quite easy. John, the BCTW president, is left handed and finds that the unit simple to use too no matter your hand preference.
On the faceplate, there is a crank arm that raises and lowers the blade. There is also a lock knob that locks the keel. It is the same system as in the JMPv2. There is a detail image on the product page that may make it clearer. (youtube won't let me post a link)
I'd like to see a treadle for moving the blade up.

I'm assuming the double control knobs are so the machine is left and right hander friendly?

@BridgeCityMike During the computer animation sequence it looks like there's a second faceplate with knob/turn wheel mounts protruding out.

Hi, when you are at the part of 1:02 in the video, you remove the wood between the cuts with a chisel?? Thanks for your reply!

@jmvicuna1 Yes, I usa a chisel. Though, you can make a few more relief cuts on the Jointmaker to make the waste removal easier.
