    • 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

    • Convenient and does the job well
Style: Jointer
I’ve got to say, I’m pretty impressed with this jointer. It’s a bit loud when I hook up the vac system but other then that it’s worked great so far. I put white oak that was 6 inches wide on there and it cut it like butter. Like I said I’m impressed out how strong it is. This tool is very important to have in a wood shop and being able to move it around to create more space when not needed is convenient. I definitely recommend this product. The only thing that had me worried was when I first started it up it had a small delay and almost seemed it wasn’t going to start. Before purchasing this item I read a ton of reviews as I do with all my products and I came across one that said it wouldn’t even turn on right out of the box. Well I feared this would happen to me as well. After using it for a month now, at least three days a week I’ve noticed that the small lag during start up is normal for this product, or for this one in particular. If I ever have a problem with it not starting up I will definitely send it back in for a replacement and I will duly note it on here for you guys. ... show more

    • Entry Level Price, Entry Level Results, Entry Level Quality Control
Style: Jointer
The first and foremost thing that comes to mind with this jointer is the poor quality control. This piece of machinery was recommended to me by a friend who was achieving seemingly great results. However, the first jointer I received was the epitome of poor quality control. To even say quality control is a misnomer, the bed of the jointer was so twisted that I wondered if anyone had even checked this at all. Obviously not. Additionally, the bolts securing the bed to the frame were overtorqued and had numerous cracks creeping from every single bolt. Rest assured, Amazon replaced in a timely manner and I received a new one. When I received a new one, it seemed pristine. I had no issues with assembly or getting the bed leveled with the fence. For approximately two weeks of sporadic use, I had okay results. The issue being that due to the small bed length, it could only accurately joint a piece of wood up to about 30 inches. After 30 inches, a curve in the wood begins to form over its entire length. My attempt to joint 38 inch length pieces of wood resulted in bowing throughout, but with a uniform thickness. The edge jointing had a similar issue, but of less magnitude. The final straw was when the jointer refused to turn on. All searches on Google made it seem as if it was a broken capacitor. However, after the mixed bag of underwhelming results and the previous dud I had received, I decided to return the unit in its entirety and search elsewhere for an entry level jointer. Although, I love the idea of an entry level jointer for around 300 dollars, this piece of equipment did not fit the bill. My background is in fine carpentry and although I am doing this for a hobby, such a cumbersome piece of equipment takes the joy out of it. I cannot recommend this product at this time, until the quality control vastly improves. As long as this product suffers from a lack of quality control, it will only continue to kill the passion of new woodworkers who could be led to believe they cannot create great furniture. ... show more

    • Very Good Benchtop Jointer
Style: Jointer
Review Image by David A. Cory David A. Cory
Review Image by David A. Cory David A. Cory
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
