I bought my Jointer online about 9 months ago. The day i got it took myself about 2.5 hours to put it together, the hardest part was mounting the motor. Just fallow the instructions and its really not that bad to do. Since that time I've used it on a regular bases, im talking about 2-3 times a week for the past 9 months never once has it giving me a problem although once you take the blades out the sharpen them its does take some time to get the blade back right. This tool if use correctly will do a pretty good job. First of all dont use this to plan all four sides, you'll never get a perfectly square piece of wood, get one side flat, and then get an actual planner and do the top side. then go back to do the sides. If you do that, you'll have yourself an almost perfect square piece of wood. Now Snipes this is an area that i found to be mitch match depending on the type of wood i was using and how sharpe my blades were. Freshly sharpened blames with softwoods would almost never snipe the harder would there would be little to lone, but the blades quickly dull so the snipes do come so make sure you leave yourself a good inch or so if your doing alot of wood at one time. Dust colloection system is ok, but could be alot better honestly, the way it is chips still go everywhere with or with out the vac hooked up, so i just decided to take the adoptor off and let it go everywhere. Overall its done me well so far. Oh one last thing, blades, the jointer has 3 blades, they sell them in packages of 2's, so what did was got 3 packs had 3 sets of blades so i could work longer with out sharpening blades all the time. If you plan on using it alot probley would be a good idea to get you a set or too, they dull really fast.

I've had this jointer for well over a year now and can't get a striaght edge out of this machine. The outfeed table has a lot of play in it and sags so the tables aren't coplanar. I found out that you can prop a board under the end outfeed table to the floor, so it forces the end of the table up. It helps, but it doesn't fix it. I've tried many many times to plane two board to glue them up long grain and there are ALWAYS gaps at the edges. I guess that's the quality we can expect out of the Craftsman brand, now that it is a Kmart brand.

One word of caution on any product manufactured by ORION International. Product codes beginning with 152.xxxxxxx. This company redesigned their product within a 5 year window and then stops making parts. Leaving you with a virtual BOAT anchor. I purchased one 6 years ago and now can not get the parts I need to fix my machine. The Trunnion setup is made of a very cheap pot metal and will brake under stress. Sears says to bad parts aren't available and ORION International will not respond to my emails. Sears better look at who they are doing business with as people like myself make future investments in tooling.
While purchasing several tools to set up shop at the beginning of this year, made a last minute decision to purchase the Craftsman 6 1/8 inch Professional Jointer over the 6 inch Jet. I was able to catch it on sale, $150 off, which simply made it too tempting to not at least give it a try. I'm very happy that I did. It was easy to put together. It definitely takes two people to lift, but was able to assemble on my own using a hydraulic engine lift. The jointer is easy to operate and I've had no issues getting square and straight boards. I was able to use the extra money I saved towards a band saw which was a double win for me. A good sale tempted and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. So far, this has been a solid, reliable tool.
