  • 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

  • Needed a little table leveling after shipping, but much easier than I expected.
Size: 12 inch
The jointer works very well. It's quieter than my DeWalt planer, but not much. The tables were off by perhaps 10 thousandths after shipping. You definitely want to have a serious straightedge and feeler gauges, but the customer support was extremely helpful and prompt and they sent me some additional instructions for leveling the tables, and I got it within 1 thousandth in an hour or so. First time I ever worked with a jointer. Also be extremely vigilant about rust. I started to get tiny rust spots within 2 days after removing the factory coating and spraying with WD-40 and waxing the surface as the instruction manual recommends. I may not have used a thick enough wax coating for 96% humidity. I did it over again and I seem to have stabilized it. I also recommend having a scissor lift cart to move it around. Last I checked Harbor freight has one for less than $200. ... show more

  • 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
