biscut jointer?

[Tim Wagner]

good one for a good price? ideas?\

I have a makita that I am very pleased with. I think it is about $200 brand new. Got one off of ebay for about 140 that was brand new in the box.

Hello Tim,
I bought a Porter Cable a couple of years ago @ Lowes. It was $189.00 plus at the time it came with a $30.00 rebate.
I'm happy with the tool but in all honesty, I've only used it a couple of times.

That may change here in the near future though. Up until recently, I haven't had the time to take on anything where it would be of any use/didn't have a surface planner & jointer.

I have the Dewalt model that I've been very please with. I've had this for about 6 years and have gone through 5 or 6 cans of #10 & #20 biscuts.

I purchased a Ryobi at HD for $99 a couple years ago. Still works great and I never saw a need to upgrade. I now have a Domino, but still pull out the Ryobi when joint strength is not an issue. I can even hook my Festool CT22 to the Ryobi.

Another vote for the Dewalt. Very pleased with it and has done what has been asked of it for 2 years now.

Gone through a bottle of #10 and #20 in the last two years.

dewalt here, i was lucky that Home Depot was having a clearance on them, and i managed to grab one at 109 instead of 189. Very pleased with it.

DeWalt here. Can hook it up to the vac. Still have not had to sharpen the blade.

Dewalt here as well. I have had it for years and I would buy it again.

wow, a lot of great replies. Looks like I will go shopping for the dewalt. I do eventually want a domino, but I will make do with the B-jointer until I A: make some extra side cash to afford one, and B: become more involved with woodworking.

On a side note, Have any of you seen Either Norm, or David marks demonstrate or use a Domino in any of there products? or anyone else's shows?

I could use dowels i suppose, but I am building a rolling file cabinate, and will need to make a skirt (to hide the wheels) around the bottom where I will use biscuits to join the 45* miters.

TIA

I don't think Marks has filmed a new show in years so I don't think you will see him use one.

If I were going to actually buy one (I have a Freud JS102 and rarely use it since discovering pocket screws), I'd probably buy the PC that also handles the smaller and smallest biscuits.
