Very happy with this product. It cuts smooth and quick. Well built and very well designed. Adjustments work well and they hold in place securely with no play.
I've only done edge joining but I'm totally happy with my project thus far, I would purchase this item again if necessary. I've only used the unit with pine wood so far.
I hold the unit by the barrel to plunge and hold the top left corner down with my finger (right handed) to assure level cut into the face of the joint edge. I don't feel like there's much chance I could get injured from this tool.
As a first time biscuit joiner I studied the Amazon reviews and decided on this one. This unit seems very safe as I have used it.
Very happy with this purchase and the packaging is of course Amazon quality.great. I am not disappointed.
The chip bag needs to be aimed down to the floor and plan on emptying it after 7 cuts using.20 setting otherwise the collection area behind the fence jams up with shavings and is difficult to clear.
Ipe is one of the densest woods available and just kills regular blades. I chose this model based on the Amazon reviews and previous experience with a makita random orbital palm sander. The motor didn't break a sweat and carbide cutters were begging for more.If you do any woodworking at all, just buy one. I plowed through the project quickly. The other reviews do a great job listing the details, pros and cons.I had never used a plate joiner before but was up and running in 3 minutes. I was doing a project with Ipe (aka Ironwood).
I bought a 14.4V cordless Makita and was so happy using it that I bougth the MBJ very dissapointed. Simple to use, excellent power. Hope they improve on the fence. The fence is a joke. Whats' with the fence. I am disappointed with this Biscuit Joiner.
nice and much more precise joiner than my Dewalt, however the motor is a bit noisy.
