    • Great for a small shop
Style: Jointer
I read many reviews before settling on the Porter Cable bench top jointer. The overwhelming positive reviews were not exaggerated. Setup was simple, adjustments are quick and the results are surprising. I needed to smooth some hard maple and it came out like glass. Very impressive results at an affordable price. ... show more

    • Great jointer for the price
Style: Jointer
I was looking to for a very inexpensive jointer and found that this was one of the cheapest available. I have put several hundred board feet through the jointer since I bought it and have been very pleased by the results. I have put both six inch soft wood (pine) and hardwood (oak) through the jointer with no issues. Compared to the Wen 6552 planer I bought at the same time, this jointer gives far smoother surfaces. Given its tiny size, I do not recommend very large cut depths. I typically shave 1/16th of an inch or less with each pass. I have had only two minor complaints with the jointer, but neither has affected the performance of the jointer. First, the plastic cover for the swing mechanism on the blade guard was broken on delivery. This is not really a big deal. Second, none of my vacuum hose adapters fitted this jointer (I have a lot). I had to go buy an adapter. If you get his jointer, you should also get something like the POWERTEC 70148 Dust Control Flex Cuff with Hose Clamps, 2-1/2-Inch. This jointer will quickly bog down if you do not have a vacuum connected to it. However, once you get a vacuum connected, the dust collection is excellent. Note, as an earlier reviewer has mentioned, this jointer has been discontinued. You will have to buy your replacement blades from a third party. However, I expect that PorterCable will come out with an updated version that will have some minor differences from this one. So I am fairly sure getting replacement blades will be no issue. ... show more

    • Well worth the price
Style: Jointer
Very good for the price. Easy to assemble and sturdy. I mounted to a Shop Mate and it worked fine. I was running some reclaimed cypress through it and after about 8 or 10 boards with a couple of passes each I had to change the blades. With new quality blades it performed flawlessly. Good quality tool well worth the price but buy a set of blades. Factory blades are junk. ... show more

    • Very Good Benchtop Jointer

When I made an interstate move, I elected to sell the Jet stationary jointer that had served me well for many years. I have a lot less shop space now, so I had to go with a benchtop model as a replacement. After doing some research, it seemed that the variable speed of the Porter Cable jointer outweighed the lack of spiral/helical cutters. Some might consider the lack of a cast iron table a disadvantage, but I would rather have the lighter weight of the aluminum table since I'll be moving the tool on and off the bench. Setup was pretty easy. I just have a couple of quibbles with the manual. The unit I received had the cutter guard already installed, but the instructions include installation of the cutterhead guard as a step in setup. No big deal. Also, the manual shows four Phillips screws that have to be loosened to install the dust port. The unit I received had two Phillips and two hex screws. The hex screws were very tight, and the hex key included in the package was a bit small for the screws. I had a key that was a better fit among my tools and was able to loosen the screws, but it required quite a bit of torque. After I got the dust port installed, I was able to attach it to a Festool dust extractor hose with a universal adapter as shown in the photo. Dust collection seems to work pretty well. After squaring up the fence and testing it on scrap, I tried the jointer on a piece of 4/4 six inch wide flat sawn cherry that was pretty cupped. Per the recommendations in the manual, I jointed the edge at the lowest speed, and then one face at the highest. The face came out flat and square after four passes @ 1/64" as shown in the photo. Cutter marks were minimal. Finally, I'd recommend keeping the lower edge of the fence 1/16" or so above the table to decrease noise caused by vibration of the fence against the table. ... show more

    • I don't know how I ever did woodworking without this.
Style: Jointer
I'm retired from a career in technology and I took up woodworking as a hobby two or three years ago. I suppose I did what most beginners do - picture frames, planters, bandsaw boxes and lots of shop projects. But I just moved up to making outdoor furniture and without boards that have been squared and surfaced, the project suffers. This jointer has fixed all of that. Solid tool that with very little assembly is set up and ready to go. I find it to be very accurate, easy to use and the speed control allows you to adjust speed of the cutter head for different species of wood. Yes, it's limited to 6" for the width but I seldom use anything wider so it's not an issue for me. Twisted, cupped and bowed boards from the lumber yard are easily made flat and square with just a few passes. It only has two knives so it's not as great as a jointer with a spiral or helical cutting drum but for about $300 it will get you in the game and make an excellent addition to your addictive hobby! Just FYI... I have a neighbor with a planer which is needed to make perfectly squared boards but chances are, you'll be able to correct a lot of issues in your boards using just a jointer and a table saw. I love this tool! ... show more
