innovated jointer
By William S. Adler
I am a serious woodworker and choosing the right jointer was a quest of much research. I chose the Jet 708457DXK for some innovated features.1-The quick set knives cannot be underrated. It amazes me that tool manufactures have not had this feature since planers have had it for years.2-Long bed. This 6" bed is with 56" of length is only comparable to the Power matic bed length. All other 6" jointers have shorter beds.3-Handwheels. I'm not a fan of the "stick" adjustment on other jointers. See for yourself at any woodworking store. Test the incremental in feed adjustment on a wheeled vs. stick adjustment side by side. Big advantage to the hand wheels.4-Customer service. Jet is owned by WMH group and they own Powermatic as well. Customer service history is excellent.I bought this jointer pre-assembled, so no review on setup. I only had to set the fence 90 & 45 for adjustment. The out feed table came factory set and is perfect. I bought the HTC mobile base over the Jet mobile base due to HTC base lifts the jointer and sets it down on floor pads. The Jet base only locks the wheels.The cuts on the jointer were as expected, smooth and crisp. The noise level is average for this type of machine.Pros: As stated above 1-2-3-4.-Dust collection is also very good.-Double sided knives.Cons: The jointer has a spring loaded pin on the rear of the machine that engages at the 1/8th inch cut on the in feed table. This prevents cuts over 1/8" being made, (maximum recommended cut.) This is somewhat a nuisance for an experienced woodworker that knows jointer cut depths. It is used for rabbiting. Pull the plunger out; turn the in feed wheel past 1/8" release the plunger.The fence slide works fine, but the Delta jointer has a better system, (rack screw.) *Not a feature to buy the jointer for however.If you are in the market for a 6" jointer this Jet has features that other 6" jointers don't have. The only current exception is the Powermatic 6" with long bed/quick set knives. Priced at $900. If you like taking a lot of time setting knives with a jointer pal device and don't mind a shorter bed then save $100 and buy another jointer. If you want a full featured 6" jointer, then this is the one. *Current price as of this writing is $549.

Best out there for the money
By Ron
I make my living building custom guns....so I demand the best tools. Poor quality just won't cut it!This machine is very good. Excellent power, gorgeous finished cut, quiet and extrememly ACCURATE. I looked at many jointers costing several hundreds less and several hundreds more. I've also worked on many other brands over the years.You will be very impressed with this tool if you take the time to set it up correctly. Quality is excellent.I was able to perfectly square the most tortured, twisted pieces of hard, highly figured wood I had in the shop. Outstanding!! I'm very impressed and that's not an easy thing to accomplish.

Great Jointer for the dollar
By J. Pegg
I could not believe how fast this jointer went together. Really solid all around. Final decision to purchase this over the Delta X5 was the dust collection and location of the controls. Glad I did because dust collection especially works very nicely. Most adjustments were fine out of the box except the outfeed and even that was pretty close.
