  • Adjustable 24" long aluminum Fence - Features quick stops at 90 and 135 for versatile cutting angles.
  • Fence Enhancement Brackets - Fence enhancement brackets stabilize both ends of the fence for a flawless cut. (Patented in Taiwan.)
  • Elevation Control - Say goodbye to table inconsistencies with the additional guide post. Parallel tables translate to straight cuts at any different depth.
  • Additional Support Rod System - Additional support rod system maintaining a strong upright frame. Sustaining support for heavy-duty work pieces.

Description

The newly released 8" jointer with Cast Iron Tables, Longer Aluminum Fence and Fence Enhancement Brackets. The much anticipated Cast Iron Tables provide a total working length of 54" when extensions are fully lengthened. The new fence is 20% longer with the addition of fence support brackets. The Spiral Cutterhead comes standard with 16 indexable 2-sided inserts to create perfectly flat and square boards to start off any project the right way. From simple flatting, to correcting defects in boards to edge jointing, the 8" Cutech jointer is a valuable tool to deliver the precision cuts that woodworkers need to make their projects come to life. Cutterhead with 6 rows that holds 16 staggered inserts for a smooth finish. The design of the cutterhead along with the use of in-house made inserts make cuts with the lowest amp draw compared to others. Two-sided inserts sit in perfect alignment to the spiral cutterhead. Non-cutting edge designed to prevent insert from skewing while planing. The precision is superior to 4-sided inserts. Our inserts are engineered in-house to a 0.0007" (0.02mm) tolerance. This sub-thousandth precision delivers a glass-smooth finish right off the cutterhead, eliminating line-tracking. Built from high-grade Tungsten Carbide, these inserts outlast standard HSS blades by 50%, keeping your edge sharper for longer. New cast iron tables for lasting durability and precision.

  • Great jointer for the hobbyist
Size: 8 inch
I bought this jointer a few months ago and I'm very happy with it. It's easy to set up and use, and it makes smooth and accurate cuts. The spiral cutterhead is a great feature, as it reduces noise and tearout, and it's also easy to replace the blades if they get dull. The jointer is sturdy and stable, and it has a dust port that connects to my shop vac. The only downside is that the fence is a bit flimsy and hard to adjust, but it's not a deal breaker for me. This model has additional support at each end of the fence to add additional stability which helps make the aluminum fence more rigid. Overall, I think this is a great jointer for the price and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a benchtop jointer. ... show more

  • Accurate settings, well made machine
Size: 8 inch
Works great as described, easy instructions, it weighs alot making it accurate in the amount of wood being shaved and the speed settings are easy to adjust. The machine won’t move because it’s nice and heavy. Well made overall

  • As EVE would say... It's a Skookum Choocher!
Size: 8 inch
As far as 8" Bench-top Spiral-head Jointers go, this one got some giddy-up. It made easy work of some 8/4 Ash, that's for sure. They say good fences make good neighbors. Well, this fence makes for some straight 90's. It's flexible too. I'm pretty sure it can get into some other positions fairly easily. At the same time, the whole thing is solid like a brick... shut your mouth! The dust collection port adapter is a little meh, but it still lets you suck. ... show more

  • Smooth cuts
Size: 8 inch
My jointer arrived on 4/20/2023 - I have already ran several boards through it - all 2x4s roughly 5 ft in length. The results are excellent. I can only compare this to a Jet Jointer JJ-6CSX which I sold. I like the portability of this in my one car garage vs the standing jointer. the additional width compared to my old jointer is a nice welcome too, though I have yet to use it. Out of the box, the cast iron tables were well greased from factory and did not need any adjusting for my particular unit. I was happy about this because it seems like a pain to adjust the tables. Most benchtop jointers require the same level of adjusting so I am not going to ding cutech for this design. I'm sure they all come out of the same factory with different logos and colors on them. The wings that extend work well and I am happy to have them. Fence is easy to install and get to a perfect 90. Carbide spiral cutter heads seem easy to replace if one gets damaged. my previous jointer had straight blades and that required a more meticulous change. dust collection works well I have it hooked up to my wall mounted powertech dust collector. I have the 4 inch adapter kit from rockwell that I use on other tools as well. The longer fence with additional brackets to keep it at 90 is nice addition too. This is the only jointer with that system so far. I'm sure other will eventually catch on. Larger tools are nice, but when they become complicated to use it makes me want to use them less. This is plug and play. Will provide updates as I run wider longer boards through it and hardwoods. ... show more

  • Calibrated and tested
Size: 8 inch
Works perfectly upon assembly of fence. Calibrated and tested at the factory so no fiddling with levelling. Just plug it in and make wood shavings.

  • Nice jointer
Size: 8 inch
i researched these benchtop jointers a lot and this is a good one, i use it all the time. blades are still good. There are cheaper ones out there but this is a work horse for sure. Spiral cutter heads and good dust collection.

  • Very good price performance with some trade-offs
Size: 8 inch
The 8 inch Cutech portable bench-top jointer with segmented cutterhead and cast iron tables is a very good jointer for the money. Cutech customer service and tech support have been excellent. The machine has shortcomings but the shortcomings are those of the entire class of machine; there is no jointer clearly superior to the Cutech in the contemporary short-bed bench-top jointer format and there are plenty of machines that are not as good as the Cutech in one or more respects. The infeed and outfeed tables were co-planar right out-of-the-box. it was well protected against dings during transit, but benchtop tool manufacturers need to come up with an alternative to styrofoam/polystyrene, such as custom cardboard layer pads (see pic). I find the Cutech fence alignment mechanism to be relatively crude. But I don't know of a superior fence design in this contemporary bench-top format. For a more robust and reliable fence design in a new machine, you would have to triple the price and triple the weight of the machine, or hunt down a vintage short-bed jointer, which are rare, and then you'd be giving up dust collection and easy blade changes. The Cutech jointer's noise level is also painfully high. PPE for your ears is a must. A jointer with a 3400 RPM induction motor will be like a buzzing bumblebee compared to the piercing whine of the Cutech's 12,000 RPM universal motor. (The Cutech gets quieter while it's cutting. Under zero load it screams.) But if a 200-pound $1,600 jointer with induction motor is not something you can manage financially and/or physically, or you need the jointer now and don't want to spend months looking for a vintage short-bed machine in ready-to-use condition, the Cutech offers very good price-performance for around $500, and in my experience the company has been very good to work with. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet surrounding Cutech and another company that once was acting as US distributor of the Cutech brand. Cutech's parent organization, Shinmax in Taiwan, cut ties with that distributor. Cutech did not rebrand itself under a new name. Some of the problems that have been attributed to Cutech were actually the result of that former distributor continuing to use the Cutech brand name and continuing to use the Cutech website after ties had been severed. ... show more
