Bought this item to help build an oak framed screen door for the front of our house, which ended up being a total of $210, in comparison to the models on line at $900 (including delivery.  This biscuit joiner worked wonders and with little ease. I've never used one, but after experimenting on scrap wood it performed wonderfully and allowed us to build the door of our dreams. Thanks Amazon and DeWalt for such a grrrrrreat product.
