This was an excellent video, and helped me make a very informed decision. I was thinking about the 6-inch jet, but I believe this Cutech is a superior product due to its cutting capacity and fence enhancements. I do like the iron fence on the jet, but it is much more expensive and has less cutting width. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great video. PS: I ended up getting the 10-inch model, which is only slightly bigger than the 8 inch.
What a hell of a product well built for a compact benchtop jointer. I whish we had this kind of option here in Brazil.
Thank you. Sorry it’s not available where you live
I have this same jointer and I love it. It replaced my old 6" jointer.
Awesome! I’m enjoying mine very much. Thanks for watching
Did you have a standing jointer before?
I think am going to buy the 10" to replace my 8" ,but i still have issues with the motor and the bearing, the motor started falling apart pretty early, the wiring is okay the power is ok, but the plastic that they used for the motor housing is poor, the bearing runs dry pretty quick, and if you don't replace them quick, the sharf gets ruined also.
Sounds like you definitely need some maintenance on your machine
I would like to see the 4" to 2 1/2" dust port adapter go over the outside of the 4" port rather than the inside as that would reduce the chance of blockage and backup from chips hitting on the 2 1/2" adapter. I am sure you can find an adapter that will fit that way.
Also, this not a True Spiral cutter blade system but what I would call an offset cutter arrangement, but it is still much better than straight blade knives.
That would be an excellent improvement to the dust collection. Thank you for sharing your comments.
Just got mine Saturday, thinking it might have be a Friday afternoon or Monday morning setting it up at the factory or fed ex mishandling it. Blades look to be just shy of the out feed, boards seem to catch on the edge of the out feed. Watched your video while assembling it, made it much easier than reading instructions!
Fantastic! So glad it helped
Thanks for posting the video. I’m having one heck of a time making the tables co-planar. Adjusting the set screws is a nightmare.
I have this model I purchased a couple of years ago. It works great and the 8" cut is nice for bigger pieces. I believe my top isn't cast iron as it quickly shows scratches/gouging in the table top although this hasn't affected its performance. If the new models truly are cast iron similar to a good table saw, I will check to see if I can retrofit the tables.
That would be interesting to see if that possible. Or sell your current jointer and buy a new one.
You can indeed retrofit your jointer to cast iron tables. I spoke to Cutech on the phone last week and ordered this same cast iron 8” jointer. I asked specifically if you got the aluminum tables if you could upgrade and they said yes and the parts did t sound terribly expensive. Give them a call.
@@johnfrazier9327 that's exactly what I did because I called them as well. I'm just finishing the setup and calibration of the tables.
Thanks for the reply!
I have the Wahuda version of this machine. Looks identical and I'd guess they are made in the same factory. Mine does not have the end fence brackets, though. That looks like a nice addition. I'm surprised you didn't check to see if the table was coplanar, flat and level. I've never heard of any benchtop planer that was, right out of the box.
I’m looking at buying the Cutech 12” as I use larger boards in Cedar, Sapele and White oak, Thank you for your review!
Awesome. Thanks for visiting my channel
I have the 6" model and love it except for the flimsy fence. None of the fences on these bench top jointers are worth a darn. I made a custom fence from extruded aluminum and welded steel tube. It's fixed at 90 degrees so I'm working on an adjustable version. I just posted a short video that shows the fence.
Hello Sir. this was an excellent presentation. I have a question for you. Let’s say I have a a piece of plywood that is 14 inches wide and 4 feet long , can I vertically put it against the fence in order to straighten the edges ? I would appreciate your input.
Yes, absolutely
Great and informative video. I'm thinking of getting this jointer however I have limited space for the depth of the machine. If you get a chance and have the time could you measure from the back of the planer with the fence pushed all the way back, to the front of the planer and let me know the depth. In other words, how deep the bench needs to be if the planer is against a wall at the back. Thank you.
It is approximately 48cm
Nice!
Thank you, it’s a great machine
Thanks for the vid. I'm curious if you have tried wood longer than 5 feet? If so how did it turn out?
Yes I have. I have had no problem.
I just ordered this - what is the longest board you ran through this jointer? Do the wings help when extended or is it more of a marketing gimmick? I sold a standing jointer due to lack of room for this so I hope I don’t regret it haha.
The longest I’ve run is 8’. The wings do help stabilize the board
This one seems to be a better buy from Grizzly as their 8 inch is all aluminum fence and bed.
Pawpaw. Is that the 40180h or the 40180hb series?
This is the 40180HI
There is no lead on where to buy these.
Where are these tools made? China?
Taiwan is where they are made
Does the fence and table stay square after a lot of use? I had the wen 8” and the fence didn’t stay square
No, I have not had a problem keeping it square. I do double check each time I move it to ensure that it remains square
That’s a king Canada jointer
King is a copy of CUTECH from China originally.
so you get a free tool to do a video, you do the video, since you got the tool free, its all of a sudden the best home jointer? that makes no sense.
I only do reviews on tools that I believe will add value to the woodworking experience. There are many tools that I have refused to do reviews on because of poor quality or performance. Yes, some are given to me and others I purchased.
I’ve looked at a bunch of videos on this tool and tried it out at a buddies. It’s the real deal
You don't know anything about the motor.
You have no idea what I know. You don’t know me.
I'm sorry, but I found it difficult to get through your video. You spent far too much time on insignificant minutia. I'm surprised you didn't spend 5 minutes on how to properly plug the power cable into the outlet, and then another 5 minutes on how to properly unplug it.
Interesting commentary since you obviously just surfing the TH-cam videos. You’re not a subscriber and I assume this is your first visit and you chose to criticize rather than maybe taking the time to learn something.
I really appreciate the time and effort you took to explain everything in such detail as most of us are not experts or never used one of these machines. This makes me feel great about getting one. I think I will be getting this model, it looks like it will do a great job and the 8 inch jointer will handle most of the projects I do. Thank you and God bless !
@@PawPawsWorkShop I stand corrected. I re-watched the section on how to attach the fence bracket. On the 4th replay I learned that all of the holes must align to properly install the screws. I don't know why I never thought of this on my own.
It would have been helpful to know which way to turn the screws, as I still haven't figured that part out. I might hammer them into place, but first I'll make sure the holes line up.
Have fun with that
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy it very much
