24" X 6" Cast Iron Fence_RP Jointer-125E+

I purchased the Cutech 10" jointer with the cast iron fence addon a couple months ago. I previously had a six inch Grizzly jointer with an aluminum plate table. I was not unhappy with the Grizzly jointer - in fact, I loved that it had a true helical head with carbide bits. However I needed a larger jointer but have no room for a full-size one. After months of research, I opted for this one, and I'm very happy with it. I would have preferred a helical head, but there don't seem to be any in this size and price range that have those anymore, and to be fair, the spiral head, albeit with less inserts, seems to be doing a good job. Initially, the infeed and outfeed tables were not completely coplanar. Although the difference was small, it meant that I couldn't make the fence square to both. I tried adjusting the fence initially, but eventually had to go through the whole procedure to adjust both tables. It took a lot of patience and a few hours, but I did get it all adjusted and it's working great now.
Getting the fence square is quite fiddly and also took some time, but once I got it dialed in, it was all good.
It's a great machine at a reasonable price.
Also - the customer support was nothing less than superb. A real person answered the phone, and she was friendly and smart (and even laughed at my jokes). When she couldn't answer a question, she took it to engineering and actually got back to me promptly. When I had a more complicated question I emailed and got a response with details.
This is a great company and a great product.

Easy install and set-up. Best solution for a small shop! The search is over.

The cast iron tables are great to have on a bench top model, worth every penny! It’s a shame that you have to pay extra for a cast iron fence! So far all I have had time for is squaring the fence to the infeed table! Will likely spend a lot of time making certain tables are exactly where they need to be before pushing any expensive lumber across it!

First timer owning a jointer. Recieved jointer promptly without any damage. Setup was easy , although supplied instructions have tasks that are already installed out of the box so no additional effort required. Relatively quiet machine. Worked well on some pine for an initial test. I like the numerous places in the manuals and instructions of the availability of tech help via phone. Didn’t need it but it was comforting to know it was available. I’m pleased

Well, they said they couldn't recommend this for any jointers except Cutech. So, there were no templates available for my 6"Wen to drill holes for the extension brackets. So, I had to go it alone. After some very careful measuring and making sure there was nothing below the surface on the back of my jointer, I determined the perfect spots for drilling, then I tapped the holes for the included screws. PERFECT!! No issues whatsoever and I now have a perfect, solid 90 degree fence. Much better than my previous small aluminum fence. Well worth the money and the best part is, when I eventually upgrade to a larger Cutech jointer one day in the near future, I've already got my cast iron fence to swap over!
