Freud JS102 6.5 amp Plate Joiner with Tilting Fence

Amazon.com Review

Freud’s biscuit joiner is a solid tool that costs remarkably less than its competitors’ models. The all-metal construction of this compact joiner gives it a high-quality, very balanced feel. The carbide-tipped blade cuts the three standard 0, 10, and 20 biscuit sizes–plus A, B, and max. You can switch easily between the six settings with a convenient thumb wheel. The joiner also gives you the choice of using a dust bag or hooking it up to a vacuum for even simpler cleanup. The joiner features a new variable-angle fence system for adjustments from 0 to 90 degrees. Making fence adjustments, admittedly, isn’t as easy as it is on DeWalt’s or Porter-Cable’s more expensive models–but this was the only notable difference we could find with Freud’s joiner. (It’s also not much of a concern for the casual woodworker or for anyone who uses a biscuit cutter primarily to make repetitive cuts.) All in all, this is a quality tool at a really attractive price. –Jon (more…)
