Includes X5 8" Precision Jointer (DJ-20) - 37-365X, 1-1/2 HP, 120/240 Volt, 60 Hz Single Phase Motor, Three Knife Cutterhead Module, Cutterhead Guard, Wrenches, Rabbeting Ledge, Tilting Fence, Push Blocks, (2) Pulleys.
Here's a top-of-the-line jointer that's equally comfortable in the professional's shop or the home woodworking workshop. Its weight offers the stability the professionals and dedicated woodworker demand, and you can't help but admire its bounty of high-end features. Our favorite feature is probably the extra-long infeed table, at a remarkable 42 inches. Like others in its class, it has three cutterheads, rather than two, but unlike others we've used, these knives adjust quickly and easily, thanks to Delta's jackscrew arrangement. The 5-inch-high fence tilts smoothly and easily, and the rabbeting ledge makes a nice generous 5/8 max rabbet. You won't be short on power with the 1-1/2 horse single phase motor that's completely enclosed in the cabinet, where it stays clear of shavings and sawdust. We like the placement of the power controls, right where you need them should you have to shut down quickly. The bed is smooth as glass, and using it is an absolute pleasure.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Delta DJ20 - Great Jointer:
I had this same jointer years ago bought from the Tool Crib (now Amazon) when it was US built - I just bought another one and it still a great product. The table is flat and it has a one piece cabinet. The bed is packed in a wooden crate that requires some real effort to move around - get some friends! Everything is well packed and greased for shipment. Parallelogram jointers are far superior to the sliding dovetail type. It's easy to get used to quick adjustment with the levers instead of rotating a wheel... more info
I Purchased the Delta 37-365X Jointer.:
On request, the shipping company delivered the machine with a tailgate lift. The jointer shipped in a cardboard box containing the base with motor and a plywood crate containing the table assembly, fence and other parts. When the jointer arrived, both box and crate had suffered minor damage to exterior and packing materials. The staples used to fasten one of the straps used to secure the table assembly, fence and small parts in the crate had pulled loose, allowing them to move and create a very small nick... more info
Almost 5 stars:
Delta has been making the DJ-20 for quite awhile and it has always been viewed as a quality product. Everything is adjustable and strongly constructed. The extra long infeed table is very nice and the accuracy of the tool is excellent. However, there are a few improvements that could be made: 1) Dust collection. Currently there is a chip chute but no pipe for DC attachment (6" would be ideal). You can get around this by screwing in a HVAC fitting (just like the Delta Unisaw). Chips pile up rapidly with... more info
Delta Dj-20 Is Top Notch:
I have owned this jointer for about a year now having upgraded from the Jet JJ-6CSX 6 inch and a Delta Deluxe 6 inch model prior to that. The DJ-20 has performed magnificently. It was dead on right out of the box. The only tweaking I performed was to tighten the belt as the motor would "bang" when you initially turned it on. Cuts are smooth with the oak and pine that I have mostly run through it at this point. The fence adjusts smoothly. The infeed table is very smooth to adjust which I have to admit I was... more info
