I had one previously. It just stopped working. I took it to the repairman at Home depot and he couldn’t fix it. I used it, put it up in the case and when I took it out to use it again, it would not work..I like the Makita joiner and since I am familiar with it, I chose to buy another one.

I have used it several times and it works amazing. The only thing I am a bit disappointed in is the bag gets full of saw dust after 4-5 small use. Would suggest a dust collector system to attach to it. Other then that I love this thing. Well worth the money and it works so good on hardwood and is a monster on soft woods

I did a lot of shopping and reviewing of biscuit joiners before buying this one and glad I did! I build furniture and this is one of the best choices I’ve made in tools! It’s easy to use right out of the box. Has great safety features, which is good because this thing could cause serious damage. All the adjustments are easy and stays adjusted. If I could find one thing about it that could use some improvement is the bed is a wee bit short. A couple of times I didn’t press down hard enough on it, or clamp it, and the blade shifted slightly during the cut. But that’s more operator error. All in all it’s a great tool and creates really accurate joints.

I read a lot of reviews on different joiners before I purchased this one and the experience on my first project with it confirmed everything I had read. It is well built, precise, and solid.

High-quality tool well made and thought out. My favorite is the solid indents on the common angles such as 45, 90, and 180 degrees. That way you can easily flip to those and know you’re completely square to the working piece. Lightweight and easy to handle as well.

Medium duty tool not to heavy. Blade angle adjustment angle gauge slightly off starting 90 degrees. Need exterior measuring tool for greater precision requirements.

I liked the Makita biscuit jointer it’s equally as good as the Dewalt but I do find the little dust collector bag annoying

First time user of a biscuit joiner. It was very easy to use. Felt solid and smooth. Made a hall closet shaker door out of 2×6, 2×8 fur and 1/2 “ birch plywood. Finish product was outstanding.
