Absolutely a great tool, works awesome. All factory adjustments were perfect, cuts nice and square, table adjustments are very smooth and dust collection leaves nothing on the floor. Highly recommend. Hopefully Cutech will expand their product line in the future.

The packaging was exceptional. The jointer required no tweaking on the Infeed and outfeed tables. They were coplanar. I upgraded to the cast iron fence. I'm still working on getting it perpendicular to the table, but I'm giving Cutech the benefit of the doubt on that score. The back braces that support the fence are genius. I'm looking forward to using it in earnest on my next project.

I purchased the cast iron fence to complement the 8” Cutech jointer. It was easy to install with the heavy duty braces, was square to the bed without any discernible flex.

My 8" jointer came more quickly than I expected. Setup was easy and the machine works wonderfully. Dust collection is great and the surface finish on oak and pine is great.

Impressed with the quick delivery, the flawless packaging and the gleaming machine once I got it unpacked and assembled. Ran a few pieces of wood through and smooth as a baby's butt. Looking forward to frequent use after I get my dust collector hooked up.

Previous to this purchase my only experience with jointers was with the large 12-16” machines in my community college woodworking shop. I put off purchasing a jointer for years because I didn’t have room in my home workshop. I grew tired of all the workarounds for processing rough lumber so I finally made the leap to add this 8” jointer to my shop. So far I have processed rough cherry, white oak and hard maple with great results. Additionally I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of setup for this tool. I had purchased the cast iron fence and it required very little work out of the box to get the fence square to the table. I’ve mounted it on a Powertec rolling mitersaw stand and this is working out great as it provides additional in-feed and out-feed support.

I don't typically leave reviews but this jointer deserves its review. It is fantastic. It was perfectly square out of the box. Also it is packaged securely with no dents or blemishes. Also the additional support for the fence is awesome. Look forward to getting the cast iron fence in the future.

Nicely constructed machine. Intuitive to run. Haven't used it in home project production yet, but test runs of material after set up were very promising and certainly as advertised as to quality of finish. Set was very minimal and without struggle. Looking forward to commencing years of continuous use. Replacing a 20 year old Rigid planer.

Been putting off buying a jointer for a number of years, but this model just had too many great features to pass up.

Customer Service is great, Betty took my order and got the jointer to me pronto along with the cast-iron fence.

Build and finish quality is exceptional. Been using it about a month now, and loving it! Highly recommend this jointer!

The 12” Jointer is a beast! I held out for a Black Friday promotion and, given the deal, I added the cast iron fence to my purchase. Let me just say it was worth the wait. My experience with the company and the machine is both five-star positive.
Let me explain my reference to the company… I did receive the unit with a damaged blade guard that was quickly remedied by the super awesome customer service. Given how well the unit was packed, I am chalking this up to the shipment handlers. It happens but, as I mentioned, customer service did not hesitate to solve my problem. I had a replacement blade guard in less than a week.
Let me explain my reference to the machine… The machine setup was dead on out of the box which, given the blade guard issue, says a great deal about the attention to quality. Also, the upgraded cast iron fence is much better when compared to the stock aluminum one. If you can afford this upgrade, I encourage you to do it. In terms machine performance, I finally had the opportunity to put it to the test on some 8” wide red oak I needed for some end tables I am building. It cut through it like butter, while the 10” bed would have worked, the 12” bed just made it so much simpler to joint the face of the material and when it was time to joint the edge, the rigid cast iron fence proved to be a must.
Lastly, in fairness to anyone reading this, nothing is perfect, including this machine when outfitted with the aluminum fence - fortunately the cast iron option exists. When you consider the size, performance and price, this is by far the best value out there for the weekend hobbyist like me. It performed effortlessly and, for my purposes, building cabinets, small tables, etc. I do not foresee outgrowing it any time soon, if ever at all.

My last benchtop jointer was a model I bought 35 years ago and would have made a good boat anchor. It could not compete with stationary models. So, I’m blown away by the excellence in this Cutech tool. It arrived completely calibrated and ready to go. It’s quieter than I could imagine, and the surfaces it creates are mirror smooth. I could not be happier. (I did add the cast iron fence, which is rock solid.)

This unit was usable right out of the box. The adjustments for snipe were spot on, and the spiral cutter head cuts clean and is amazingly quiet comparatively to other benchtop planers.

I've only been using this 12" Cutech jointer for about 2 weeks, but so far it is amazing. I upgraded from a 6" Delta that I had for years. This one is so much better than the Delta, it's easier to adjust, has way more cutting width capacity, the "blade" changing is going to be soooo much easier to do just by turning the carbide cutters 90 degrees. But I don't imagine I'll have to do that for quite a while. I got the cast iron fence upgrade and that is great too. It's perfectly flat and is very solid compared to the aluminum one. The only down side to this jointer is that the beds are shorter than my Delta, but so far that hasn't been a problem for me. The jointer performs wonderfully. I'm getting perfectly smooth & flat finishes from it. It took a couple hours to set up correctly, but the instruction videos online from Cutech were excellent and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this jointer if you are looking for an upgrade from the typical 6" jointers made by Delta, Jet, Ridgid, Grizzly etc. It's a very solid piece of machinery and much more compact and affordable than an 8" jointer.

I started my journey into table top jointers with the Cutech 6" jointer, just to see how it would work for my needs. It worked great! So, I was able to sell it for what I paid for it and I stepped up to the Cutech 10" jointer. I already had experience with their aluminum fence on the 6" jointer, so I went ahead and ordered the cast iron fence with my new Cutech 10" jointer. Glad I did! It is immensely better than the aluminum one. Strong, straight, flat, well machined, and STURDY. Keep in mind that the support brackets they include with the jointer only reach the fence when the blades are nearly fully exposed. I do a lot of edge jointing, so I don't like that much blade exposure, but the fence works well without the use of these brackets, so no real problem there. Overall, I am 100% pleased with this product. Way to go, Cutech!

At first I was skeptical about these smaller benchtop jointers, but I found a great deal on a used one on Facebook Marketplace. It was only the 6" model, aluminum tables, and no extensions. However, I learned a lot on it and found this style jointer works great for my needs. When the 10" model went on sale, I took the plunge. I couldn't be happier with it. Super easy to put together, and very well packaged. Fortunately, my infeed and outfeed tables were coplanar, so no issues there. No snipe, plenty of power too. As a stringed instrument builder, I use a lot of figured woods, along with ebony, rosewood, etc. This jointer leaves amazingly clean surfaces on the various woods I push through it. So, in short, no complaints, happy with my purchase, and I would buy it again. Oh yeah, I went ahead and got the upgraded cast iron fence with this jointer. Highly recommended! It's far more stable and substantial than the standard aluminum fence, which I still have, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it!
