 Good Value November 16, 2009
Gary W. Borland (Snohomish, WA USA)
The biscuit joiner is a good value when you compare it to models from the other manufacturers. If you are looking for a well made tool with attention to detail then this unit is not for you. The castings for the face plate are rough and unfinished with the fit and finish leaving a lot to be desired. I was able to diassemble my fence and file off some of the rough edges so that it would be more pleasant to use. There are no useable issues with the joiner and it does what you want it to do; but pretty it ain't.
I like the carrying case and the supplies that come with it (biscuits etc.) but I was expecting a little better on the finishing side. The alignment marks on the fence are nice although should be longer. The measuring gauge down the side of the fence is not exact (doesn't line up properly) but the hope is that if you don't touch it between uses for the same cut then the should align regardless.
A good, functional tool for the price.
 Better than expected September 20, 2009

I was undecided on what brand to purchase. I bought this one based on reviews and price. I'm very pleased with it and it is of much better quality than I expected. It is very easy to set the depth and height of the biscuit cut. I had to adjust the depth of the cut since mine was off by 1 mm or so. Once I made the adjustment, the cuts were perfect. My sole complaint is that the wrench provided to adjust the depth is useless and you can throw it into your odd and useless tool drawer. The head of the wrench is just too large and doesn't allow the nut to be turned once you slip it onto the nut. I used a Craftsman combination ignition wrench to adjust the nut and there was no problem. If you don't have ignition wrenches, I suppose you would be forced to use a pair of pliers to loosen and retighten the nut.
Exelent Fence! June 16, 2009

I am very satisfied with this jointer. The Fence is very well designed and accurate. I know the fence looks like the ones on cheaper models (Ryobi, Skill, Harbor Freight) but it is milled with a textured face to help resist sliding off mark. Very smooth Jointer that will last for a long time and produce accurate cuts even on strange angles...
A Great Basic Plate Joiner May 1, 2009

The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because of the way it adjusts and the fact that the blade isn't quite centered from top to bottom. Use scrap, test out what you're joing, and then there's no problem. The knob for the height adjustment is a rack and pinion system and it hasn't gotten clogged with dust or anything yet. The adjustment could be a more micro adjustment for finer work. I've used it for 3/4" cabinet grade plywood, making T joints, 90 degree joints, and attaching mitered corners together. It's a great basic plate joiner for the price. When I have a need in the future I may spend more money on a more advanced tool but this one is great for now.
