WEN JT833H 10-Amp 8-Inch Spiral Benchtop Jointer with Extendable Table

Product came well packed and felt very solid. unfortunately when ordering i did not realize it was 110v and i require 240v so i had to send it back. hope there is a 240v version.

Works very well. The helix carbide tips cut like butter.

Hasta ahora ha trabajado muy bien, siento que los dientes se maltratan rápido con maderas duras, pero en teoría se pueden girar para usar el filo de los otros tres lados, no lo he hecho, no ha Sido necesario aún. Las extensiones ayudan bastante para la manipulación de piezas grandes como tablas completas de 2.5m, pero ojo, son auxiliares, no coinciden exactamente con el nivel de la mesa. Elegí está opción, a pesar de que había otras opciones el el mercado a precios similar de 6" estacionarias, por su tamaño, la tengo en una mesa con rodajas para poderla mover. Es muy práctica. Sin embargo para un taller más grande no la recomiendo tanto, solo como herramienta auxiliar y para llevarla a instalaciones fuera del taller.

I have limited space, so finding a benchtop jointer was my only real option. Pricing is also one extreme to another. Either you'll pay $300-$500 or over $1000. After reading all the reviews concerning the fence I was skeptical, but based on my experience with WEN I figured it was a worthwhile shot. So far I'm extremely happy with the jointer. The fence was almost perfectly square out of the box, although the table needed some adjustment. Once it was dialed in, every board coming off the jointer has been perfectly square. The fence is solid, and doesn't move. You really shouldn't be putting a lot of pressure against it anyway, because the face you place on it should be perfectly flat and smooth. The jointer is quiet and cuts well, dust collection is damn near perfect. I wouldn't recommend planing more than 1/32" at a time though. If you're on the fence, go for it. WEN is great in the space of affordable, rugged tools. I've resawn 8/4 white oak on my WEN bandsaw and it took it and kept going. Solid company, solid tools.

Buena máquina útil para trabajar madera.

This Cutech Jointer is a great reminder that there is a real difference in engineering and manufacturing quality between items coming from Taiwan and those from mainland China. This is a not a knock off or clone of something else, but rather the original that others re-badge. It arrives very well packaged, a good thing as it weighs in at around 100 lbs. Engineered card edge boards surround custom fit foam to keep everything well protected. The documentation is in decent English and easy to follow. Opening the plastic bag surrounding the jointer will have you reaching for shop cloths, as the entire unit is liberally protected with machine oil to guard against rust. Keep track of the fence enhancement pieces and the fence rails as you unbox things. It's well designed and assembled: there are no sharp or exposed edges to the metal work, the cast iron tables are perfectly machined, and the powder coat/paint is perfect. There's not a lot to assembly, just attaching the sliding fence rails and the fence itself. I bought the cast iron fence and so didn't install the supplied fence. The fence support enhancements are simple enough to install, and reflect a manufacturer who listens to customer feedback and acts upon it - earlier models did not have these additional supports and the fence stability was questioned a little because of it. Once assembled the fence was at a perfect 90 to the bed right from the box, no adjustment needed. I ran a 2x6 through both on edge and on it's face, the jointer is quieter than my dust collection and the finish perfectly smooth. Depth of cut adjustment is very straightforward, and locks confidently in place. Early days yet, but first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. I'd gladly buy Cutech again.
