Power Jet Jointer:

Great product, but make sure you have a 220 volt wiring supply source as mine was only 110 and i had to get
an electrician in to install a new breaker box...which cost me near $1K!!! So YIKES!! my mistake.

Good Item - If you can Get it!:

I order this item on 1/4/06. The item is shipped in two boxs. One box is P/N 708458J, and the other is 708458S. After six weeks I have received two of the 708458J and none of the 708458S. After six follow up calls, I ended up with someone named Sumit S. (He would not let ne know his last name) in India. When I asked for his supervirsor, he say he was the hightest, and I could not go any highter.
I have purchased the same item from ROCKER for $85 more and can walk into the store if I have a problem.more info

I finally got it put together and wired up (about four hours total). I turned it on and it jumped to life. When I say jumped, I mean it started abruptly with a jerk, instead of smoothly and gradually. It also sputtered as it turned off.... more info

A great jointer with a couple of minor comments:

Overall this is a great machine and I am glad to add this one to my woodworking tools. Putting it together is not easy, just the top weighs about 350 lbs. and you will need some help carrying this thing on top the stand. After securing in place everything should be easy with the exception of the belts which was not preset very well at least in my machine, so I have to loosen the motor mount base and slide for adjustment. It's like working in your car's motor. The manual wiring diagram did not match the... more info
