  • Very nice and plenty of power.
Size: 12 inch w/ Cast Iron Fence
Heavy duty, I have the cast iron fence which I would recommend. Works well, I have not run enough through it to get a feel for the cutters as they are different than helix 4 sided cutter blades, which I have on my Dewalt planer. What I have run through has worked well and looks good. Assembly was easy. Came out of the box align well with only slight adjustments needed on the fence. The fence supports are nice, I wish they would move with fence as I will move the fence around for various widths of wood to use different cutter blades, try to keep the wear on all even. The supports appear to be just for when the fence is all the way back. Not a big deal as the cast iron fence is not liable to flex and has not yet. You can also change the cutter blades that are not getting the heavy use to the areas that are so it would make moving the fence less of an issue. The supports work as intended and they do make the fence solid with no wobble, as such I will likely leave the fence in position as I have it and the supports tuned in. ... show more

  • Amazing quality and capacity for the price
Size: 10 inch
This post reviews the Cutech 10-inch jointer. A jointer was the last piece of equipment I needed for my shop. I had been getting by using a sled and shims on my thickness planer to face-level boards. Having a dedicated jointer has made all the difference and motivates me to ensure each piece of material, even the smallest one, is flat, square, and parallel. The powerful jointer does quick and clean work. When I compared the various Cutech and related benchtop jointers, the 10-inch one stood out because it had a comparable footprint to the 8-inch jointers, yet a larger cutting capacity. I could not find any other 10-inch benchtop jointer I could live with. The larger surface has proved invaluable because it allows me to use it for fairly wide stock, such as drawer panels and boxes. When necessary, for very large pieces, I can joint 10-inch boards that I later make into larger panels. The 10-inch capacity is usually enough for most of my needs. Consumers should know that Cutech is owned by Shinmax, a Taiwanese company. Wahuda makes a similar jointer based on the same design. Shinmax sued Wahuda in 2020 for patent infringement in LA federal court after their earlier relationship soured. However, the two companies worked it out in a 2021 settlement and Wahuda (out of Tennessee) was allowed to continue making similar jointers. There are a few interesting differences though. The Cutech has some braces for the jointer fence, which the Wahuda lacks at present. Those supports keep the jointer’s aluminum fence firmly fixed in place. Cutech introduced this designed recently after some customers complained of fence movement. The Cutech has two-sided cutters rather than 4-sided ones, which Cutech says prevents the cutters from spinning out of place during use (the non-cutting edge locks the cutter in place). When worn, the cutters can be rotated once to a fresh blade. Wahuda offers 4-sided cutters claiming they provide longer service because you have twice the cutting capacity of the Cutech and can rotate the cutters more times when worn. I had also considered the Jet 6-inch jointer with the true helical head (the Cutech/Wahuda jointer has a spiral but not helical head). The Jet also has an iron fence (the Cutech/Wahuda has iron tables but an aluminum fence). The Jet is also right around $1000, which is significantly more expensive than the Cutech. In the end, I went with the Cutech because it had the larger cutting capacity, which has proved a huge advantage in my shop. The footprint was not much bigger than the Jet’s smaller jointer, and the fence supports have done a great job keeping the fence properly squared. I decided the fence supports on the Cutech made it superior to the Wahuda, given that earlier buyers had complained about the fence moving a bit before Cutech introduced the fence supports. Bottom line: no regrets at all. ... show more

  • Perfect for hobbyist woodworkers on a budget.
Size: 12 inch w/ Cast Iron Fence
Well Ive only been using this for a week. So time will tell a better story. It's light duty for sure. The motor bogs down with wider pieces. But if you are just a hobbyist like me you won't mind just taking your time and running wood slowly. If you need power and speed I'd go with a more premium option. Accuracy is excellent. This is my first jointer and I got way more than I expected for the price. I'm glad I sprang for the larger model. It's not too heavy to move around. About 110 lbs. and pretty compact with the supports stowed. And the handles are sturdy. I would definitely spring for the cast iron fence. It's a game changer. Very sturdy and accurate once you get it set up. I honesty couldn't imagine how bad the aluminum fence would be as there is even a SMALL bit of movement if you get too heavy against the fence. (I mean very minor and you have to press really hard) Just go easy and take your time. This has opened up a whole new world of options for me as a beginner woodworker. The final piece of the puzzle to my little budget workshop. So excited to finally add this to my arsenal. I've been milling up lumber like crazy. Turning firewood into fine pieces is a blast. Super excited to have this and for under $1000. I'm glad I got this one and not one of the small 6"ones. It's a beast for the price. ... show more
