View larger. |  | Industrial-Style Hand Wheels for Smooth Adjustments The JJ-6CSX boasts a unique design that allows you to adjust both of the feed tables simply by rotating industrial-style hand wheels that turn smoothly and easily. This feature allows for easier tapers and enhances user control when taking precise, fine measurements as low as 1/64 of an inch.Smooth Gliding Fence Offers Multiple Stops Additionally, the fence glides smoothly throughout its complete range of motion and tilts both ways with the traditional stops at 45 and 90 degrees to handle bevel operations. This also allows you to quickly reproduce multiple cuts at any angle. Steel Knife Cutter Head for Speed; Cast-Iron Table for Accuracy One of the most innovative aspects of the JJ-6CSX's design is the triple-bladed, high-speed steel knife cutter head, which delivers rapid cutting and a superior finish for high-quality results. The blades are part of an exclusive auto-set quick-change knife system, which allows you to replace or change all three blades in a fraction of the time other machines take. The jointer also features a cast-iron table with a precision-machined finish, so you can count on the accuracy of each pass.

A Limping Work Horse November 16, 2009 Jeffrey B. Sulman I bought this jointer a year ago. Originally I purchased a Rikon, but it came with one of the tables broken and you could tell that the metal was cheap and it would not hold up. So, I brought it back and got this jointer with a $50 mail in rebate.
The jointer is well built and looks nice. I've used it like crazy and once I finally learned how to flatten a board it has become an indispensable addition to my shop. It is really a work horse. Runs smooth and quiet.
There is only one complaint I have that made me subtract two starts. The problem is I cannot keep the fence alignment at 90 degrees. I tilt the fence back a few degrees and adjust the fence to 90 with a 6" square and tighten every thing down, the 90 degree stop, the lock nut and the fence adjustment. Every thing is perfect until I start the jointer and then when I look at it the alignment is off just a hair. No matter what I try it will not stay adjusted. It is very frustrating and makes one of the primary purposes of the machine useless, to join boards together. I have to flatten the board then I use my table saw to align the edges to join boards together. Works very well, but I would like to just be able to zip them across the jointer with a pass or two to get the faces square.
If anybody else have this problem I would be interested in hearing how you fixed it.
JET JJ-6CSX Jointer - Good value August 11, 2008 W. May I think this is a good value for the price. I compared this model with Delta, and couldn't justify the additional cost for the Delta. If you do woodworking for a living, you'll probably want something better, but for the serious woodworker/hobbyist, I think this is a good product and I wouldn't go with anything cheaper. I've used mine regularly for about four months. A few things I've found: using a vacuum/dust collector is a almost a necessity as chips accumulate quickly. If you don't, you'll at least need to clean the chip chute frequently. Setting up the outfeed table and blades can take quite awhile (depending on how much of a perfectionist you are), but once I got it set, I've had no problem. I give it four stars because although I've been woodworking for a long time and have done my research, this is my first jointer, so I don't have first hand experience with other products to compare this one to. Product shipment and delivery was quick and professional.
Gotta love it August 5, 2008 Wood in Iowa (QCA) I'm very happy with this jointer. I'll be retiring an old Craftsman machine now! The Jet went together fairly easily and didn't need any major adjustments. It cuts very smoothly and can handle the hardest wood I've run over it. The length of board it can handle is limited by the bed length, but I don't build a lot of furniture that requires pieces longer than 4 or 5 feet.
Nice machine October 21, 2007 A. Babcock (California) I have had this machine for about 6 weeks, and it has been flawless. Pretty straightforward to assemble (the manual is very good), and nicely finished.
It runs with a smooth, powerful hum that suggests a solid, quality machine. I have planed and jointed cherry, maple, ash, and cocobolo with good success and without any complaints from the machine. Dust collection with a shop vac is pretty good.
I picked the machine up locally, and so cannot comment on packing/shipping issues.
I'm planning on converting the machine to run on 230VAC. If I have anything to report after that, I'll amend this review. But so far, highly recommended.
Great tool May 5, 2007 J. Kaczmarek (Highland, Indiana) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had a 4" craftsmen jointer for years and decided to upgrade my shop with a 6" jointer. Reviewing various models, I decided on the Jet 6CSX. My shop is pretty small and this machine fits well in the spot I had picked out for it.
Machine assembly is realtively easy. It is heavy though. Two people needed to carry it down into my shop area, prior to assembly. After realizing how heavy this jointer was, I purchased a HTC mobile base. I highly recommend that a mobile base be used if you have any intent on moving this jointer in your shop.
Once it was assembled, set up was very easy. Once turn on, it purred like a kitten, versus the noise that my 4" jointer used to make. And the cuts were smooth as silk. I tested flattening a cupped 4 inch pine board and after a couple of passes, the board was flat as could be.
For the money, this is a top notch machine and an asset to my work shop.
