Would RecommendDoes the one thing it is supposed to do extremely well. Very pleased for something at this price point to be so good.

Disappointed
Would Not RecommendI’ve had mixed experience so far. Cons: Underpowered- the machine has struggled to make < 1/32 cuts with new cutters on 5.5” pressure treated wood. I imagine hardwoods would be worse. Fence design: the single adjustment point for the fence allows for flex in fence angle even when fully tightened. This is a big deal for jointing larger workpieces because the fence angle changes when pressing hard against it. Also it’s very difficult to align the fence parallel to the infeed/outfeed tables. Cu...

Terrible fence decent otherwise
Would Not RecommendPoor quality fence. All it takes is a tap from the board to throw it out of square. I’m super disappointed with this. Decent otherwise but relatively useless without a decent fence.
From grizzly.com
We’re sorry to hear that the fence hasn’t met your expectations. It should hold square during normal use, so we would like the opportunity to make thi...
Scratches
The aluminum top will get scratches and lined etched into it from hardwoods. It appears hardwoods are harder than aluminum top.
From grizzly.com
Many hardwood species are denser than aluminum, so over time some wear is expected, especially with heavy use or if debris gets caught between the wor...
Nice little machine
Would RecommendI really like this little jointer. I needed something for some small projects I wanted to tackle but didn’t want a big machine. It fits under my workbench and is light enough to put it on top when needed without any trouble. And so far it has produced dead straight edges with only a couple minor tweaks at setup. Very happy with it so far.

Decent starter jointer
Would RecommendWorks pretty well, pros include cutting smoothness and dust collection. Cons that I ran into: (1) pieces of metal seemed to get into the wood - not sure if these broke off from blades, OR, if it is debris from initial manufacturing. These embedded pieces of metal then gouged the table, so that's disappointing. (2) the quick release level for the fence cannot be actuated in certain positions as the other quick release lever that's there gets in the way. If nothing else makes it a PITA and ...

Grizzly 6" Jointer with Helical cutter 5 stars

Great a addition to my shop
Would RecommendMy Dad passed away in July 2024 and left me a lot of rough cut wood. My daughter and I are both woodworkers/wood turners so we decided to purchase a Jointer to help with the clean up of the wood. We decided not to purchase a cheap jointer and i really liked this model and bought it. So far it has been great cleaning up the wood he left us. My wife says i'm spending to much time in my shop now but it's OK.
