Very Good Benchtop Jointer
When I made an interstate move, I elected to sell the Jet stationary jointer that had served me well for many years. I have a lot less shop space now, so I had to go with a benchtop model as a replacement. After doing some research, it seemed that the variable speed of the Porter Cable jointer outweighed the lack of spiral/helical cutters. Some might consider the lack of a cast iron table a disadvantage, but I would rather have the lighter weight of the aluminum table since I'll be moving the tool on and off the bench.Setup was pretty easy. I just have a couple of quibbles with the manual. The unit I received had the cutter guard already installed, but the instructions include installation of the cutterhead guard as a step in setup. No big deal. Also, the manual shows four Phillips screws that have to be loosened to install the dust port. The unit I received had two Phillips and two hex screws. The hex screws were very tight, and the hex key included in the package was a bit small for the screws. I had a key that was a better fit among my tools and was able to loosen the screws, but it required quite a bit of torque.After I got the dust port installed, I was able to attach it to a Festool dust extractor hose with a universal adapter as shown in the photo. Dust collection seems to work pretty well.After squaring up the fence and testing it on scrap, I tried the jointer on a piece of 4/4 six inch wide flat sawn cherry that was pretty cupped. Per the recommendations in the manual, I jointed the edge at the lowest speed, and then one face at the highest. The face came out flat and square after four passes @ 1/64" as shown in the photo. Cutter marks were minimal.Finally, I'd recommend keeping the lower edge of the fence 1/16" or so above the table to decrease noise caused by vibration of the fence against the table.
