Small shop? Limited budget? That doesn't mean you have to give up on owning a jointer. This Shopmaster model is perfect for either situation but still packs features for precision woodworking. Variable speed offers 6,000 to 11,000 rpm, adjustable at the touch of a dial; infeed and outfeed tables adjust smoothly and easily. Though the 30-inch bed is shorter than stationary models, you aren't losing anything in width, because the JT160's cutting capacity is a full 6-1/8 inches. The fence, shorter and lighter, of course, than stationary models, tilts 0 to 45 degrees outward for beveling and chamfering operations. Positive stops are at 45 and 90 degrees. One sure advantage over its big brothers: the JT160 weighs just 35 pounds. Its cutterhead uses two knives rather than three, and the knives level with an easy-to-adjust jackscrew. Rubber base pads keep this little fellow where you want him, and if you want a permanent home for it, a stand is available. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Removes imperfections from the edges and faces of stock to make it straight and true. Designed for the home workshop, the new Delta variable speed jointer offers performance features and capabilities even a professional woodworker can appreciate. Variable 6,000-11,000 rpm speed ranges with handy speed selection chart that allows you to select the right speed for the application. The easily adjustable, center-mounted fence allows quick set up, even for angled jointing up to 45 degrees. A ball-bearing cutterhead with jackscrew blade adjustment provides smooth operation and easy blade changes. A built-in cutterhead lock also aides in blade changes, preventing the cutterhead from turning. The conveniently located infeed table raising and lowering knob and an easy-to-read scale make adjustments easy.
