Thanks, John. This jointer is wide enough for 2x4 lumber but without additional infeed and outfeed tables, it would be awkward to run long pieces through it. By long pieces, I mean over three feet. It's not dead quiet, but it's my shop vac (for dust extraction) that makes me put my "ear muffs" on. I could run the jointer without them.
Thanks for the reply. Most of the pieces I work with are under 3-4 feet so that would work for me. Now I'll just wait for it to go on clearance for $50 at my local Sears. They have 2 left in stock now.
John Dietz I’m thinking no, as blades ware thr rear of the table needs to compensate, he was pretty through in his description, but he said nothing of blade hight adjustments
I have this exact model. No mater what adjustments I try and make it will not make an even edge. Boards come out rounded. Neither feed table has a pitch adjustment. I’ve tried wedges under the plates and nothing has helped. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanx.
Bitemyran, I'm not sure I understand what's happening to your boards, but I will tell you what I can. You are correct that the outfeed table on the left is not adjustable. The infeed table on the right, however, is adjustable. If you remove the three bolts and lift off the granite table, you will be able to see the mounting plate underneath. The two large hex-head mounting screws on the right can be raised and lowered to make the infeed table parallel in both directions to the outfeed table (left to right, and front to back). Be sure to loosen the small set screws before trying to turn the mounting screws. I was able to set the infeed table parallel to the outfeed table perfectly by first setting the depth-of-cut adjuster to zero, then adjusting the mounting screws (trial and error) until I could set a level across both tables. Let me know if you have any further questions.
CKD, the obvious first choice would be Sears Parts Direct, but I can tell you that the blade, while shown in the parts diagram, is not listed among the available parts. I have not been able to find them on Amazon either. When I look up 4 1/8" blades, only other sizes are shown. Wish I could be more helpful.

Nice jointer for a small home-based workshop, the jointer at my local men's shed is an extremely large machine for commercial use.
Great review Mark! I'm thinking about getting that jointer. Do you recommend it for planing 2X4 lumber? is it very loud?

Good luck with that! I only saw the clearance price on mine because I work at Sears.

Where do you purchase the blades for this model?

Thank you for the response. I'll keep looking.
