Those gripes would annoy me, too, I'm not seeing a good alternative to purchase, though. I have limited space to work with. Jet makes a 10" combo unit, but I don't think it has the helical cutting head.

I'm toying with designing a new fence bracket and sanding off the area where the boards get caught going through the jointer. Like you said, there are almost no competitors at this price point which is sad.

I NEVER remove my fence - I just push it toward the jointer infeed side and tilt it. That’s worked pretty good for me. Ultimately, while it’s good for the price, I would prefer to sell mine and get a floor unit.

I'm basically there too

Thank you for this video. I was considering one of these for the space savings, but I would hate that fence, and the wood getting caught on the knob when planing... I am going to have to pass.

I filed the knob catch-y area down on mine, yeah the fence sucks a bit however, it works fine for me.

Great review! Thanks for helping me make a decision

Seems like that fence is a deal breaker

No, but you do! 😂😂😂😂
