Great jointer for the price
Would RecommendThis is my first jointer and for the size and price I think it is a great value. Setup was easy, everything seemed to be fairly accurate, and it works great.

Works well and easy to use
Would RecommendSo far it's been a great little jointer. Setup was easy, but as others have said, it's not very easy to get the fence to be exactly perpendicular to the table. I found a video online that helped showing the use of two squares, one at each end. Eventually I got it square after several adjustments. I'm new to using a jointer and it has been easy to use and learn on. For the money, it's definitely worth it.

Good small jointer
Would RecommendGood bench jointer. It's good for small projects but if you try to put larger stock through, good luck. That's 1 of the 2 downfalls of this jointer. The rear fence is kind of disappointing. Not really as strong as it could be. Trying to align it is kind of rough too. If you are in need of a jointer for small projects, this one is good for you. As for larger projects, its not really good enough.

Aluminum tables scratch, not flat, not co-planar.
Would Not RecommendNot only is the fence made of flimsy aluminum, the tables are too. Mine became scratched beyond usability the first time I tried to operate it. Not with hard woods mind you this was scratched by "pine" construction grade lumber. The wood catches in the trough of the first scratch. that causes an aluminum "splinter" to embed in the wood. the splinter then nicks the blades as it runs through and puts more scratches in the weak aluminum table with every pass. Absolute RUBBISH. Do not buy this...

Great Jointer, Great Customer Service
Would RecommendIn terms of what this jointer was designed to do, it was well worth the money! Easy setup, powerful, and makes accurate cuts. The dust port is a bit small and clogs up fast (why only 4 stars), but I don’t plan on doing any high volume output. Only problems were a defective cutter speed dial on the first unit I bought, which Lowes exchanged without any hassle. The second unit (new in box) had a significantly bent infeed table! The box and foam shell were intact so the damage was clearly done be...

Bench joiner/planer
Would RecommendThis tabletop joiner works as good(maybe a little better) than the $500 one I purchased last year.
