Tool Review

Anyone in the market for a benchtop style jointer?

If so - I just got one and have been extremely happy with the quality and performance.

I'm guessing a lot of us are in a similar situation with limited space in our workshops so a big ol' floor standing jointer is a big commitment. People sometimes scoff at benchtop jointers because they wont be as accurate/straight/true whatever on long stock. I get that, but I got this new benchtop jointer and have been super happy with it!

The model I got is the 12 inch spiral cutter head benchtop jointer with cast iron tables from Cutech (cutechtools.us). It has some supports to hold longer stock inline with the beds and I think that really helps it punch above it's weight class when it comes to straightening/flattening long stock. The super wide bed is awesome too! Spiral cutterheads are a fantastic upgrade compared to straight blades and this one performs wonderfully. It leaves an incredibly smooth surface.

I was also super surprised, and this might not always be the case, but mine came perfectly level/coplanar right out of the box!

Anyway - just wanted to share this brand with you guys since I hadn't heard much about it before I got this tool. I would highly recommend!
