And the helical cutter heads are a game changer 100 %👍🏻

Thank you for using tools for several months before reviewing. Too many creators on here confuse "unboxing" with "reviewing".

Good video. When using a jointer, slide the palm of your flow through hand along the top of the fence in cases where the material size allows it. (I did NOT see you operate it once like that) That way, if there is a sudden jump or otherwise mishap, your hand cannot go down into the blades.

I use a planer every time I make a scabbard, now. It is so nice to make the wood the right thickness to start, and relatively flat. Not perfectly flat, but a lot better. It saves a lot of time. I don't have a jointer, though.

Great review! I made pushers faced with 1/2” grippy hard carpet padding glued to plywood blocks with sturdy wood handles. Been using them for years.

Slight correction. The carbide cutters can be sharpened over and over. I have 3 different grit sandpapers on a piece of marble, 320, 600, and 1200 grits. Place the cutter with the bevel facing up and rotate the cutter in a circular motion to remove any burrs off the flat side, moving up in grit. I originally used the diamond type of sharpeners and they removed too much material. I have been sharpening my turning tools using this method for years. I normally get 30 - 40 sharpening per knife.

Carbide is 100% the way to go. I’ve never heard the argument that it causes more chip out I find quite the opposite. I bought the powermatic 8” jointer a year ago and I still almost don’t need to sand after face jointing boards. I’m definitely with you on going with the spiral head
@whitexeno7 ай бұрын
True helical, not just"spiral" cutter heads leave a superior finish and have much reduced tearout. If you are having issues with your rotated/replace carbide inserts leaving tracks / rough finish, its likely they were not rotated/changed with a torque wrench.

Great review. I’ve had this jointer for about 5 years and it is a beast. Great tool, good price. Carbide head is 200% worth the money. Dust collection would be a great addition to your shop 😀😀

I bought a Delta Jointer around 2005. I am just a hobbyist but I have used it moderately for years. I have never sharpened the blades. The cut is not bad even so. On general principles I’ll take the blade in and get it sharpened after the next project- I guess.

The UK term for a planer as a "thicknesser," is probably a better term when you think about it.

I took the foam off the push blocks and replaced it with 180 grit stick on sandpaper, much better.

How fast did that shop vac fill up? I too have an 8" Grizzly jointer and that thing throws out tons of shavings.

This is a great video and the jointer looks like a great tool. Thanks for making it. For space or monetary constrained situations, or maybe you just don't like producing a lot of dust, a hand plane works surprisingly well and is quite satisfying to use.
@lotus_8773 Жыл бұрын
If you have grizzly shop tools, your going to quality finish but a production speed. A weekend warrior is not going to have this tool or a hobbiest just doesn't make sense for that kind of person. I use these tools to make a living so unless absolutely necessary I will not be pulling out a hand plane

I don't like where you have placed the emergency stop. When you operate a machine like this, you will always be using both hands, so it makes more sense to put near your knees.. I'm not pulling your leg here. I am a cabinet builder, and it's a feature most plainers doesn't have. Actually I am surprised to see a emergency stop at all.
@citizenVader Жыл бұрын
It's your hands that are extremely exposed, and in case of a emergency 90% of the time it's your fingers that will suffer, and you will be forced to cut the power fast, so you really only have your feet and knees to stop the machine.

@PENNA65000 nice to read. I have only seen this on a few brands so far. But I know it's been a long time without, or even a manipulated emergency stop. It is simply just too risking not to address these machines. You are practically pushing your weight towards the end of the blades. It was the only type of woodworking machine that I could find for years doing security assessments for the tradesmen guild and the schools in our region. There is mostly a little dust on the floors where people use their machines. It's a little thing to oversee, but 80% of all accidents were because the floor was slippery, and a bar would definitely be a better solution.
