Title: Get a floor model instead.
Product review: The unit is too small for doing the types of projects that make you want to buy a jointer in the first place.I ran four-quarter cherry through the jointer and the cut was clean, but my 4ft. long boards ended up slightly concave - with the middle offset by 1/16" from the ends. Not much, but enough to be frustrating when you're trying to square up boards to glue-up. I made sure I started with the bowed side down. I went on a mission and researched every online woodworking article to make sure I was using proper technique, compensation, etc. and still couldn't manage any better than the 1/16" offset.The positive: It sets up fast and easy with clear instructions. It's small and can be tucked away when not in use.I bought this unit as a companion for my 12 1/2" planer, but ended up returning it.My recommendation is that if you're looking at this unit because of cost, then look for a used floor model instead.
