Don't have a jointer and never did, but have been watching craigslist for one. FREE... is well within my allotted price range. Good luck to all.

Do you currently own a bench type jointer or would you like to own one in the future. Why? Why not?

I don't own a bench jointer. I have a small shop and there just isn't room for a larger jointer, but jointed wood is what is required to do most decent projects, so having one would improve the workmanship of my projects greatly. I have a floor model jointer in the garage, but to use it for a small project means either walking through a cold winter or a hot, sweaty yard.

I read the article on the Cutech jointer last week and think it was very generous of the owner to offer it as a prize on the Forum. Thank you! Hope he gets some serious business out of it. I really like that he has gone for that spiral cutter, can't wait to give it a spin! And I hope the winner will write a review--I think user reviews are one of the things I like best about the Router Forum.

Thinking about shavings collection on it, I think I'd build a base with two vertical ply sides to capture as much from the top and sides as possible while keeping the ends open to keep control of the workpiece. I'd been thinking about one of these for awhile and glad I learned about the advanced cutter head instead of getting one of the old, straight blade types.

I don't have own one yet nor do I own any jointer yet but plan on it someday.

No do not have one but would be way cool to win one

I do not own a bench top jointer, but sure would love to have one to save space, especially for those small jobs. The spiral head cutter appeals to me.

I have a 6" Delta jointer that has served me well for over 25 years. My garage is my shop so replacing with a benchtop model would free up some much needed space I could use for a larger bandsaw or drill press both of which are benchtop models.

I don't currently own a bench type jointer but would you like to own one in the future. Why? Because I ain't got one!

 

[dzempel]

I don't own one. However, a bench top jointer would be very useful for some of my smaller projects.

 

[Shadowrider]

I don't have a jointer and am definitely challenged for space. All the desktop units I've looked at in the big box stores look like toys, this one appears to be one that would work well for a serious hobbyist working on smaller projects. I'd give it a good home.

I bought a used 6 inch Jet several years ago. It has worked well for me. However, a benchtop model would be really handy to have and take up a lot less space.

Need to get rid of my old wornout hand me down

I have reviewed the market for jointer and this one really impresses me with its quality and features in a benchtop jointer. I have a small garage shop and room is limited. With this unit I feel I would have the best features in a benchtop jointer in a very limited space. The price point is excellent and with a spiral cutterhead it is an outstanding value.

A benchtop jointer seems to be the sweet spot for people working with smaller boards. The spiral head is a huge benefit if backed up with a motor. I'd like to be able to bring life back into my scraps by jointing them flat and getting them ready for joinery.

I do not own a bench top jointer but this one would fit perfect in my small shop.

I don't own a benchtop jointer although it would be a very welcome addition to my basement "workshop"!

I don't own one so put me in.:smile:

 

[Fotog423]

I currently do not have a jointer. I have always wanted one because right now I am using my router table with an offset fence to joint my pieces.

 

[mlb]

I don't have a jointer and don't really have room for a stationary unit. I'd like to have a benchtop jointer.

 

[Roy Drake]

I have an old 6" blade type. Very difficult to adjust with precision. Floor model/castiron/HEAVY! Those are good enough reasons to want a new, updated (read spiral head cutter), light weight, stow away, rust-free model. Oh Yeah - Mike gives it his seal of approval. I'm in. Roy Drake.

 

[dabob]

I don't have a jointer and would love to have one, that being said I would not have room for a long bed jointer in the shop I have now so a bench top would be ideal for me.

 

[Larry12]

I don't have a jointer. I am currently using my router table to edge joint boards but nothing for the surface.
