Wahuda Tools Jointer - 10-inch Benchtop Wood Jointer, Spiral Cutterhead Portable Jointer, Cast Iron Tables w/Pull Out Extensions, 4-Sided Carbide Tips & 12amp Motor, Woodworking Tools (50110CC-WHD)

Good quality materials but it is so difficult to align the both tables

I have been wildly pleased with this at the $600 I paid. Excellent results with boards under 40" and up to 10" wide. This is not the jointer for you if you wish to joint a ton of 6' boards. The results diminish with the length of boards over 40"ish. You MUST set it up correctly, just like any other jointer. You will get poor results if you do not. There may or may not be extensive setup time. It took many hours to get mine right. Once I got it right, it's been going strong for over a year now without ever needing adjustment. The plastic tightening handles are a bad idea. Don't over-tighten or you will strip them over time. I replaced mine with a nut and then just use a wrench. The fence supports are a great cheap fix to a common benchtop jointer problem. I do not love the aluminum surface finish on the fence. It isn't super smooth, and it requires frequent waxing to remove friction. The work supports are NOT reference surface. Do not think you are magically getting a large jointer for a cheap price. They are not part of the bed. They support the work. A Spiral Cutter is not a helical head, and this is not a huge motor. Slow and steady wins the race. Smaller depth passes are your friend. I've done 10" Maple and 8" Teak with no issues, but you can feel the motor working hard to get there. If I had to guess I would say it is a similar sized motor to most bench top planers. At around $600-$650 this jointer is in the sweet spot. If it starts sailing way past that it becomes a different discussion. The tradeoff is the width of the bed. You will never get a full sized 10" jointer for this price, and you will never get it in 110/120v. So if you don't have 220v, and you need a wide jointer, then these bench tops are your only option.

So far I've called (no answer) and just sent an email today. So we will see how this goes. The threads on the back right adjustment screw on the infeed bed were very weak. I didn't torque down hard or let the bed get to out of wack. I'm guessing just a bad spot of metal which nobody can control. You get these problems with casting. Before it stripped it worked well. I was just getting to a spot that I wanted to dial it in better. Was shooting for a 100th of an inch tolerance. But it did make some nice edges on boards like purple heart, walnut, curly maple, paduak. Only giving 3 stars until after I find out how their customer service is. I'll update this afterwards. UPDATE: I've adjusted my stars to 5 stars. When I called it was 5 minutes until they closed so I didn't expect an answer but a gentleman called me today at 11:30 pm est and once I explained the issue he had 2 solutions for me. He said I could send it back and they would send me a new one, or he also offered a helicoil solution and sent me a link to where I could get the right ones. He was smart enough to ask if I was comfortable doing stuff like that which I am. So I'm going with the helicoil method first cause I'd like to have it this weekend for some projects. He was very kind and swift. Customer service was good, product quality is good (these things happen with cast and ups being abusive it's normal), edges are nice and crisp, cuts variety of hardwoods nicely. My only gripe is the fence. If they sold an upgraded fence I'd totally buy it. The supports they provide are good though and help tremendously. I may look into some other wahuda brand tools if this type of quality is consistent.

This was my first jointer. The instructions and assembly was pretty straight forward. Out of the box it was pretty close to being flat but not quite there. Probably took me about three times of resetting it and doing test cuts but once I learned the system was able to get the outfeed table within .002 of the top of the blades with feeler gauges, and the infeed table coplaner. After that the cuts with this are amazing and accurate it has really sped up my work flow and is worth the price. Everything is heavy and well built I would expect it to last. Looks great and functionally I’m happy with the results and can face and edge joint boards properly I mainly build furniture.

Difficult to get it set up took me about 3 hours. I purchased a 36" machining straight edge to assist. The fence is a tiny bit flimsy as it only has the one mounting point in the middle. I do not use the extender bars. There is still a tiny gap in my pieces when I butt them together but a clamp eliminates the gap. My panels are still pretty much perfect once glued and clamped. Overall a very good jointer given the price. I would definitely buy again but would not look forward to setup.

I am a intermidate woodworker. I have been using a 6" benchtop planer/joiner for last 6-7 years with limited success. Two biggest problems were keeping it square and the blades sharp. I also tend to buy brand name tools and avoid off labels if I can. I do not have the space for a anything other than a bench top tool. I read reviews and watched 2 you tubes on the Wahuda 10" Joiner. With some hesitation, I ordered one. Really glad I did!! It has been square since day one and after joining and planing 60 bd ft of hardwoods, it is since square and cuts like a new one. The spiral cutterhead gives a glass like finish on edges and no tear out on planing. The key is, I think, go slow and do not be too aggressive- 3-4 passes at least. It has a great 4" collector which keeps it neat with little clean up. It is also quieter than my smaller planer. Good purchase!!
