Precisely what a jointer should be
595619
I bought this jointer about 6 months ago and have had nothing but good experiences with it so far.  The tables are flat and the fence is square and easily set to any angle that you want.  I've run a variety of large and small hardwood boards over this jointer and it has never done anything but churn out flat, smooth stock without any problems.

I can also vouch for the spiral cutter head; it is everything that it claims to be.  The carbide edges seem to last forever and I have yet to experience any tearout on the figured woods that I use.  As a side note, it is so quiet that you could almost carry on a conversation while you use it.

This jointer is a solid tool that I don't hesitate to recommend.

I got the joints in 3-days,great shipping the package was in good condition. It took about 30-min to get it up and running. It is a great machine,it's more than it thought it would be. I would recommend this to any one who is wanting a great jointer. You can tell by looking at it that it has quality. Iam very pleased with it,glad I checked Amazon. Thanks

i bought an old '69 unisaw which came with a lot of missing parts and shop made inserts. i decided to try the lee craft insert to use with micro jig's steel pro splitter. the combination of these two items gave me instant reliable performance for my custom furniture shop. the screws on the side allow you to dial it in perfectly with 0 play at all side to side or front to back. the tab in the back is perfect for leveraging the plate in and maintaining the snug fit. the first two i purchased were light blue/ gray colored which i thought matched nicely with the grey color of my saw. the third one i purchased was a nice bright orange which matched most of my push stick accessories and the micro jig steel pro splitter thin kerf. these are high wear accessories and i intend to have these for the rest of my life.

I have had the jointer for a few days now and am very pleased with it.  I just ran about 60 board feet of walnut through it today and I'm happy with the results.

Heavy duty, and just plain heavy.  Listen to them when they suggest that you have a friend help you put it together.

The reason I chose this jointer over the competition is that the quality is very high for the cost.  I'm sure it's not what a furniture building shop running every day would want, but for me (hobby use), it is definitely a big step up from the Delta Shopmaster benchtop jointer.

Also, if you compare this against the jointers I see as competing against it, this is the only one with a mobile base built in.  That's a pretty big chunk of money if you had to go out and buy one.

The competition: Delta (floor shopmaster model; cheesy construction, too expensive, no mobile base), Jet (doesn't matter what model #, they're all too expensive), Sunhill (I don't know anything about this brand, but the cost was higher so I didn't even evaluate this one), Craftsman (21705; more expensive for probably the same quality), Ridgid (JP0610; closest competitor in my book, good reviews around the 'net, same cost since I paid for shipping on the Griz, would pay for tax on this one, but no mobile base and no fully enclosed stand).  Anyways, I think the Grizzly machine stacks up well quality-wise with all of those.  It definitely has handled the load I put on it today with good quality cut and a nice finish.

Update:
I have now had this jointer for a few months and hold the same opinion.  I've run at least 400 bf through it, probably more.  Same blades... still sharp.  I've even advised a coworker of mine who has a woodworking hobby to buy the same model.  One thought, though, for those of you with extra money:
* I'm sure my technique isn't perfect, but this machine puts very, very small ridges in the wood as you run it through.  The ridges are caused by the blades and you can reduce them by slowing down the feed rate.  Not a big deal because they plane away (I usually run everything through my planer because it gives a really nice surface), but still... I didn't expect it on a three blade machine.  I'll bet the spiral cutterhead version of this machine wouldn't have that problem.  So... someday I'm going to upgrade to the spiral cutterhead, but if I had splurged for it at the beginning I would have had more power as well (I believe the spiral cutterhead 6" Grizzly has a more powerful motor).

Don't let this dissuade you... I think it still stacks up well against the competition and edges everything, unless you find a great sale on the Ridgid.

Comes with setup instructions that greatly simplify setup, yielding a near-perfect fit on the first try.  Some fine tweaking provides a perfect joint with a sharp corner.

This is comfortable, durable, and does exactly what it should do. I like the handle a lot because you can get a great grip on it for tight screws, and it doesn't hurt your hand.

We have about 30 screwdrivers and a couple of 6-in-1 screwdrivers. This was this missing piece. It allows me to use any of my short bits without issue.

There is only thing that may deter some people from wanting this particular screwdriver.  There isn't an end cap you can unscrew to store additional bits. It doesn't bother me because my bits are all stored in multiple holders anyways, but some may not consider it ideal. Aside from that one caveat, this is a great tool that does exactly what you would expect it to.

This is a quality control arm with a quality ball joint at a very reasonable cost, I've made the mistake of buying some inferior products out on the market only to have to replace them when they prematurely fail, but this is not one of them. This is a German-made product!  -SteveK

This item is a perfect fit for my wiper linkage. My wiper motor still works so I just put my motor into this and started right up. My previous linkaged had rusted. This is a better built one and can tell that it will not rust to where it will seize like the old one. But to make sure, I did put some more grease into the joints.

The pieces were easy to install and helped me support the length and weight of a large jointer. I'm pleased.

I have a Poulan split shaft trimmer/edger and  really like it. Getting replacement edger blades from the local Lowes or Home Depot is a pain. Got these and really, no problemo. They are tough, sturdy, and do exactly what they are supposed to do. Really can't write any more about them, because they are basically rectagular pieces of metal with a hole in the center. Take my word, they are worth the price.

I had a new 8" jointer that was relatively smooth.  However, at times, and only while pushing wood across the jointer, I'd feel a little rocking motion.  I'd tried these belts before, on a drill press, and knew they'd made a big difference there.  So, I bought a set of these from Amazon and put them on my jointer, and voila!  The vibration is gone.
They're easy to put on and resize, too.
It's truly hard to conceive that some of the vibrations felt on certain pieces of equipment are coming from the belts.  In the case of my drill press, for instance, it was a last resort... I'd tried everything else first (measuring for runout, etc.).  Yet, the problem what apparently the joint in my old black nylon belts.  Do yourself a favor and try these belts BEFORE you spend a lot of time looking for the problem elsewhere.  They're an upgrade in almost every case!  They're not cheap, but if they solve your problem and improve your machine, they're worth it!
Be safe!

Well, my old craftsman jointer has new life. About 100 bd/ft through it and the knives are still doing their job.

Have used Hubbard jointers for 25 years. These tools are built to last. Aside from barrel changes, no other maintenance is required.

This is exactly what I needed for a workbench chair

Glad I was able to get this book for my "new" jointer.

I've had this jointer for quite a while now.  I got one of the original batch that had a warped fence.  Took me about 2 years to finally get around and request a replacement from Delta which they sent out very quickly.  The new fence was fine and that was the only issue I have had with the machine.

Fit and finish on it were fine, the jointer bed is a little short but is in line with other 6" jointers in the market.  It runs smoothly enough and the fence is easy to operate but does stick out a bit in the back.

Since I bought this machine, Delta (Pentair) was bought out by the parent company of Black and Decker.  Delta and Porter Cable brands were merged with B&D and Dewalt.  Delta's exceptional service is no more.  Where they would bend over backwards to make things right, it is now not nearly as good.  I have a shop with 3 major Delta tools in it and I would not spend the extra cash to buy another Delta machine since there is nothing the higher price will get for me except a grey paint job.

I'd actually give 4.7 stars because some instructions would've been nice, but I figured it out. Otherwise, this is a great item.  Perfect fit.  The exact tools I needed and nothing more.
