Great jointer

This is only my second jointer, as I upgraded from a 6 inch to a 12 inch joiner. This cuts very smooth and works great. I couldn’t be happier with it. And the price was very good as well. I highly recommend this. It serves all the purposes I had hoped

An exceptional buy

It wasn't easy getting this jointer. It replaced a Felder full sized 12 inch jointer with an Oliver cutterhead. But I had to downside and didn't want to give up the capacity. So here are the pros and cons.
Pros: It gives a full 12 inch width, the depth adjuster is sure and firm, the cast iron fence ( which only Cutech provides as an accessory and is worth ever penny) is not only solid, it adjusts and holds better than the Felder ever did. The motor hums nicely, it's packed exceptionally well, and is accurate out of the (really heavy) box.
Cons: Only one really, abs is in plain sight. While the cutters are segmented they aren't helical, so you have to treat the wood with a straight cutter care. That's why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Given the price point it's a fair tradeoff. I went with the carbide cutters though or they probably wouldn't last. Also I prefer a Euro guard to the Ameri an porkchop type it comes with, but that's just my personal preference.

For a 110 volt unit it provides sufficient power for cuts (I suggest not exceeding 1/32 i ch or 1 mm). I would absolutely buy it again and will suggest it to my friends in need of a jointer.

Pretty nice machine

I have owned this jointer for about 7 months now and no problems whatsoever. It arrived with the box little beat up but the jointer was fine I purchased the cast iron fence also. It needed no additional adjustment out of the box the fence was a little tricky to get set at 90. My advice is to not purchase this jointer from Amazon as you will likely receive a return item I ordered directly from Cutech.

Nice Tool

I ordered the 12" benchtop jointer and the cast iron fence option. The packaging of the machine was really well done. Set up was easy and the tool works very nicely. It should work well as this is a brand new machine! I hope I can say the same statement in 10 years!

This jointer really increases the range of lumber I can mill. Happy I made the purchase!

DO NOT PURCHASE!

I purchased the Cutech 12” Jointer in hopes of getting a jointer that would cut my labor time and cost. It has been nothing but a dust collector and a very expensive paperweight. I have tried to level both the tables as described in their videos. I’ve spent countless hours on trying to get a clean face and an edge 90 to the face. In the past year and a half I have worked on it off and on trying to get it to where I can use it.

I recently contacted the company for some kind of assistance. The emails back and forth have resulted in my jointer still being down and I believe now it is falling on deaf ears. They got my money and if I can help it and provide other people with guidance, they will not get their money and I will steer them towards a better reputable company.
