Wow this is a really nice tool and having it cordless is one less thing to deal with, I already had the LXT drill and charger and even the 2 mh battery works great. The dust collector is also flawless, this is the unit to get if you use Makita LXT tools, no brainer

This is a really easy tool to use. Fits well in my hand. Allows ease of application to material you are working on. Depth / angle setting is easy to decipher and calculate. I like that this is portable, cordless tool. Works with my star energy batteries 5.0 series. Need to order a case and make ready for transport. But will easily fit into any medium or large tool bag. Makita also sells this tool as a kit with batteries. Shipped fast, no damage. Liked that i was able to pay for the tool with monthly billing plan, thanks amazon. This tool will be put to good use in the shop or at home.

Works great just like all of my Makita handheld tools. This is where they need to focus and not on lawn mowers, trimmers and other large products that suck in quality (see my review of their electric mower). This product is not as ergonomic as I would like but it's accurate and actually collects 90% of the dust/chips without vacuum suction. Recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great in a lot of ways but
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this along with some PVC biscuits to use on exterior trim and miters on decks. I have an old corded porter cable that has treated me very well, but it's lacking. There wasn't any dust control, so this bag is an upgrade. The height adjustment on my PC requires an Allen wrench and a combination square. Now I almost never have to change it, but the rack and pinion system is absolutely amazing. The makita also has some rubber bumpers to hold to the material which are really nice. The only thing I don't love is the handle and the power on/off. I have normal size 6' man hands and the ergonomics could be improved. The top handle is pretty superficial, I'll be taking it off. My PC has a handle type grip and a trigger and it's just easier to push. With that said, this makita will most likely be hanging off my belt time to time, so the straight grip design will probably be less bulky in that case, but I'd still prefer more of a handle and trigger to the barrel grip and on switch. If makita comes out with an 18v brushless model with a trigger and handle I'd pay another hundred for it. All in all, I'm very happy with this.

I started using this jointer on a scrap wood without reading the instructions. The design is simple and precise and the adjustments very stable. Then I used the machine extensively on laminating long pieces of hard maple. The biscuits fit tightly in the holes and the wood is well aligned.

The use of a powerful battery makes the jointer extremely convenient to use.
