Includes 6" Long Bed Jointer - 708457DXK, Front & Rear Safety Guards
This is a sweet jointer to use. It is one of the most accurate jointers on the market, which is a critical attribute for a jointer. An accurate jointer means all of your components will fit together perfectly. Using a cheap jointer means the cumulative error of each component will add up, making the final product not square, with loose joints and even not fit together at all. Accuracy makes all the difference in the world for building furniture. This tool is very powerful and doesn't bog down during use, even with tropical hardwoods. It has an extra long bed and all the control knobs and levers are well placed. This jointer is a very high quality tool and will go the distance with you, building doors, table tops, and other furniture pieces. -- Gabriel Shantara Ford

Good machine:
I'm not an experienced person with jointers but I think I will like the machine once I've become familar with it. I put it together by myself--with the aid of a chain hoist. Would recommend two people. The manual does not do a great job of explaining how to operate --and adjust the infeed or outfeed tables. I think a mobile base is a must for any shop without an abundance of room. The machine is top heavy so don't skimp on the dimensions of the base. Follow the book on set up. Set it up right and it will do... more info
excellent value:
Excellent value I have owned this machine for 10 months now. I have jointed several thousand board feet of hardwood so I've kicked the tires and taken it around the block. The knife alignment system is excellent and works as advertised. Adjustment of depth in feed and out feed is excellent and easy. The only thing I can fault is getting the fence 90 deg to the bed can be finicky. After locking the fence it moves just a bit out of square. This is really common for jointers of this design.
