Amazon.com Review
One of the first companies to design plate joiners, DeWalt makes one powerful slot-cutting tool. Some people argue that joiners are joiners, and while it's true that a slot is a slot, how you cut it makes a heck of a lot of difference. What impresses us about DeWalt's plate joiner is the stout, dual rack-and-pinion fence. Operating with striking smoothness, the fence locks tightly in place and ensures that the joiner's blade and fence are always parallel--which means accurate joints every time. The DeWalt is also the only plate joiner on the market with a fully adjustable tilt fence: the face plate tilts 0 to 90 degrees, so you can join work at whatever angle the job requires (22-1/2 degrees, say, if you're working in octagons). Cabinetmakers will appreciate the convenience of being able to make flush cuts at 0 degrees without having to remove the fence. The 6-1/2 amp motor spins the tool's carbide blade at 10,000 rpm, making remarkably quick, clean cuts. We found the gauges easy to read and easy to set, a big plus (there's nothing worse than wrestling with or squinting at a tool every time you make adjustments). DeWalt's joiner also has preset stops for all common biscuit sizes and there's a handy vacuum adapter that allows you to hook up suction to keep dust in the shop to a minimum--always a good idea. --Jon Groebner

Excellent joiner. Well balanced feel, good power, easy adjustments. Rack and pinion height adjustment is especially nice. Big, easy to find on/off switch. You'll have to hold your head off to one side though--it blows a little sawdust straight up above the blade.

Excellent value, however when I recieved mine it was missing a dowell in a pivot point on the fence. I contacted DeWalt and without hesitation they sent me a whole new fence assembly. I told Amazon what was going on and they responded in a generous and satisfactory manner. As far as the tool goes it's a DeWalt, how can you go wrong?
Warped fence, but good customer service January 6, 2006

Joiner appears to be brand new. First thing I did was check/adjust everything for square. I discovered that the fence was twisted wile looking down it(perpendicular to the base). It would rock back & forth with the joiner vertical on a flat surface. I swapped fences with one off a friends and it was fine (his rocked with my fence on it).
I called Dewalt and they sent me a new fence that I should get it in a week or so.
When doing mitered face frames the joiner will often slip when cutting the slot as the piece isn't wide enough to contact the two corner stops. In this aspect the PC would be prefered as it has an abrasive bad the width of the base (also it has a larger fence surface to register with the wood piece).
Altogether I would have prefered the Porter Cable, but couldn't justify the higher price.
