Product Description

Product Description

We see a future built on great brands, products, and people. In every facet of our business, we leverage the strengths of our global infrastructure to maximize the benefits of all three.

From the Manufacturer

This 8-Inch jointer meets the demand for accuracy while combining unique, user-friendly functions. The infeed table lever can be used to rapidly position table height, then the handle rotated for fine-adjustment of cut depth. Fence tilting is accomplished by a worm gear system, smoothly operated by a simple handwheel. The tables provide 73-Inch long extended support. A non-mar insert in the fence protects the table from scratches during adjustments. The jointer is available with a three knife cutterhead, or a helical cutterhead with four-sided knife inserts. The operating switch is high mounted for easy reach, and the push blocks have a magnetic base - store them on any metallic surface for instant access.

First the product capability and delivery was excellent. Arrived within a week. I immediately decrated and assembled. I found no cosmetic defects. My issue occurred when I plugged the unit into power. The green light was illuminated, however the saw would not start. I double checked my power and the safety switches, no luck. I opened up the saw panel and inspected the wiring harness, I discovered that one of the hots was wired into the neutral on the connector, see picture showing the black and white wires reversed. I was able to have a friend pop the wires out and switch the the white and black. Saw has run great since. I would of thought that this would of been tested and caught at the factory prior to it arriving on my doorstep
