What Customers Are Saying
The jointer is generally well-received and capable for hobbyist and small-scale woodworking, with praise for its performance, value, and ease of use. However, some users report issues with fence adjustment and alignment, as well as quality control problems. Overall, the jointer appears to be a solid choice for budget-conscious woodworkers, though it may require extra effort to set up and maintain precision.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Very capable small jointer
Very good jointer for the price and size. Impressed with the accuracy and simple setup out of the box. Recommend for a new woodworker looking to add a solid, low cost jointer to their tools. Only drawbacks are with its small size it can be difficult to feed larger pieces and the fence could be sturdier.

Porter Cable Jointer.
Would RecommendRead several reviews ranging from poor directions to hard to align fence. I found neither to be accurate. Directions were easy to follow and fence took about two minutes to set. This unit does everything I need to do. WELL worth the money and at around 35 pounds it moves easy and so far has not crawled while in use. You will no be sorry you purchased this.
