is this better than EZ ONE WOODWORKING CENTER found at rockler.com

I had a workmate for over 25 years and picked this unit up a little over a year ago. I wouldn't trade it for the world though I have no experience with EZ One.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I bought this, found it defective, got a replacement, found it also defective, and gave up. I haven't looked at another since. Perhaps they are better now, I don't know. I now use the old fashioned (that means good) Starrett Builders Tool No. 439-24. It is excellent and lives up to the Starrett brand. Hope that helps.

99.9% certain it is the same, based on looking closely at pictures of both. I just ordered this unit largely on that fact, since the Woodeze seems to be well reviewed (as is this unit).

Since I have both I would say the E-tool is better when it comes to utility. It is more versatile. Given my experience with Gerber though it probably is more durable and higher quality. The e-tool typically lasts me a year and then I have to replace it. I do tend to abuse it though and usually will opt for the cheaper knock-off version as opposed to the branded version which is a little more expensive and is probably better made.

If I had the option of a free Ryobi or pay for a Dewalt, I'd write the check. The Ryobi is an ok first saw (it was mine and I had nothing to compare) but will soon fall short for all but the newest woodworker. The Dewalt has a riving knife where the Ryobi uses a splitter mounted to the back of the table and is impossible to use on non thru cuts. Its in the way most of the time and usually get thrown to the side making it imposible to use the guard. The Dewalt is a safer saw for that reason in my opinion. After a little use, the fence became loose on the Ryobi making it inaccurate and somewhat prone to kickback. I use a cabinet saw now but if I were in the market for a new benchtop saw, and these were my only two options, I'd go with the Dewalt.

I purchased this saw thinking it will do what you are asking. The answer is "very disappointed in its performance and didn't meet my expectations". You're better off with Rockwell VersaCut circular saw to replace the disappointing RotoZip. I later bought the VersCut and very satisfied. It has all the features and performance you need. Right now the Rockwell is selling for $103 on Amazon. I'm happy with the VersaCut and worth the money spent. Disregard purchasing the RotoZip saw. Waste of money.

CK - I'm not quite sure I understand your concern. In my opinion the Makita plate joiner is quite stable on its large fence/foot and it is well designed ergonomically. In short, it is easy to complete accurately located pockets that cut cleanly in soft or hardwood. One reason I picked the Makita was for its superior fence design. Specifically, it's all die cast aluminum and it is precision milled on each side to ride on tapered "ways" that are machined onto the motor frame. Because of this design the geared fence height adjustment is smooth and accurate with no play or "wobble" due to excessive machining tolerances. The fence cam lock is also easy to use and because of the noted machined design it locks the fence without "camming" or twisting the base or foot (i.e. everything stays square). One knock in reviews is that the "foot" has a rather small opening for sighting your pocket location lines. For myself this has not been an issue. If you haven't already, find a local Makita dealer where you can go and examine the machine's construction, controls and general feel in your hands. Then do the same with the highly rated PC and "yellow" tool offerings. I think you'll be impressed that the Makita is also a quality standout, if not superior. Note that the joiners offered by HD and Sears (same tool under different brands) are very poor seconds. Hope this helps.

Similar, I was using the Rockler dovetail jig. It's almost identical to P-C's.

Yes. Mine doesn't quite line up correctly, but that's my fault for not chiseling it out well enough. You may have to chisel out a section if it doesn't exactly match what you had before, or (gasp) even fill in a hole with wood putty, let dry HARD, then chisel out a small section. Not hard, but harder than what I felt like doing just then. It's pretty nice and way cheaper than some of the architectural sites for almost the exact same thing.

side note: the arbors are compatible i have the milwaukee kit and use individual lenox hole saws with the arbors. both seem to be quality hole saws lenox just seems to have better reputation.

Go for the Incra Master Lift II. You won't regret it. Do not buy the one sold by Rockler. They will tell you it's the same, but it's not.

Indeed it seems to me that they have mixed up their descriptions --if you're as lucky as I was, you'll get a plain piece of wood. Believe me, it's way superior (and cheaper) than the alternatives with handles and ball bearings.

I have both this one and the one Harbor Freight sells for half the price. I bought the HF one when the shipping on the 'German' one was going to be a month. They are identical, except for color and the sticker. They work ok, if you just want a ball park. If you are doing high end work with expensive wood that is vastly more expensive than these, and you are really concerned about wood movement over time, invest in something better.

I have both. The Sven is better made, but more of a pain in the rear to assemble and then dis-assemble. Also, the Sven depends on a wing nut to assemble which is VERY easily lost. I bought a few xtra nuts and tied them to the saw to be safe. Really though, they are both good saws.

Today I checked at my local ACE Hardware store to compare them. They are not the same. Though similar these are in my opinion a much better quality tool than the one at Ace. The all metal pruner is super easy and efficient and comfortable to use. Well worth the price. Good Luck

I would call Woodcraft and ask them. I think it will because its in the 600 series.

In my opinion the edjer 2 is better after u adjust the blades and has a more power. I just purchased another one this week. Great tool.
