I will note that although spring loaded the on-switch latches too easily in the continuous run position. This is not a big deal, for a tool that has such a specialty application, and thus usually much lower shop use time. The fence plate or "foot" is all die-cast aluminum and Makita only provides a narrow slot which is aligned over your work lines. This has not been a limitation for me, but other reviewers expressed some frustration in this regard. Instead I like the large footprint of the fence for its stability, and I will thus deal with the relatively small alignment "aperture".
The machine is somewhat noisy but has plenty of power for clean cuts in hardwoods and various "engineered" woods. I use a vac setup so I can't comment on the dust bag. I've been using D-W biscuits and they fit firmly in the slots cut by the Makita.
In sum, I've been very pleased with the performance of the JP7000 and thus rate it a solid 4.5 stars.
After several months of regular use I can say, unequivocally that it is a very good value. The castings are of good quality, flat and square, no sharp edges. The adjustments, particularly the auxiliary fence that you can raise and lower with the turn of a dial, are very accurate. After setting it, I always check the fence for square and haven't had to adjust it yet.
I also love the swivel dust port. I attach my Fein vacuum hose to it, using an adapter, and it swings out of the way for each operation whether the fence is at straight or at 90*
While I don't expect it to last as long as my Lamello, for the money I could replace the Makita a few times and still be way ahead of the game.
I purchased a Ryobi plate joiner from the local big box store a few years ago and found it to be so crudely made and inaccurate that I returned it to them for a refund after one use. This Makita unit is a serious tool and worthy of the price..
It is not perfect and I knocked off a star for an issue others have noted. The chip/dust chute is constructed with a restriction that cuts it in half - clearly visible when the dust collection bag is removed. This is, in my view, a stupid blunder on the part of their engineers. As a result the tool requires the use of a suction device to keep it from plugging up in use. I purchased an adapter from Amazon (shown in photo) and attached it to my shop dust collector. It is clumsy but it works. A more elegant solution, perhaps, would include an adapter for a smaller ShopVac hose. One way or another, this is a good tool that really wants to be hooked to a dust collector of some sort.
