Delta 6 inch benchtop jointer review.
The edge joined joints i have made since adding this tool to my collection are the most beautiful i have ever made.
At the time of working you will find the base sturdy which in turn will make your woodworking task smoother and efficient.
The 30 x 6 3 16 inch table provides support for surfacing stock up to six inches wide including soft woods hard woods and plastics.
It s not cut out for heavy duty planing of long wide timber but then that s true of all benchtop jointers.
It is 6 tool which you will find affordable.
Delta power tools offer up a top notch 6 inch benchtop jointer at a very affordable price point.
It arrived almost perfectly squared with minimal effort to get it to 100.
The delta jt160 shopmaster 10 amp 6 inch benchtop jointer uses a variable speed motor and two knife cutterhead configuration with jack screw knife leveling arrangement for easy replacement and adjustments.
If i talk about the top quality jointer in the market then delta 37 0716 is the appropriate option.
Delta loses one star for not including the dust collection hood however.
It s handled hard and soft wood small stock well.
