The G0947 Benchtop Jointer has as 8 in. cutterhead providing the same capacity as a typical floor model-style jointer without taking up all the floorspace. The compact size makes it easy to move between job sites and is easy to store. The spiral-type cutterhead provides smoother finishes quieter operation and less maintenance compared to straight-knife cutterheads. The cutting edges of the 16 high-speed steel HSS inserts sit perpendicular to the workpiece. Each 2-sided insert can each be rotated once to expose a new sharp edge. HSS has been heat treated for hardness and wear resistance which keeps a sharp edge longer than other carbon steels. The two-sided T32739 Replacement Carbide Inserts are available and sold in packs of ten. The overall size of the inserts making contact with the lumber reduces noise due to a smaller pattern of air being pushed by the cutterhead. The sawdust created by this machine is then finer which is less likely to create clogged dust lines. The 1-1/2 HP motor is bigger than in. traditional in. 1 HP motor options from other brands. The bars extend the overall table size from 34 in. to 52 in. and can be locked by-hand at any point in between to support the workpiece.
