Description of Freud JS102 6.5 amp Plate Joiner with Tilting Fence
The Freud JS102 Plate Joiner is the tool of your dreams! With 3-way angle plate for cutting 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees, you can do almost anything you can think of! This joiner is a reconditioned tool, yet comes with Freud's strong 90 Day Warranty (notFreud'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 Groebner
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Freud JS102 6.5 amp Plate Joiner with Tilting Fence
Customer Review: Good Motor but kind of rough around the edges
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to upgrade from a Ryobi unit which was functional enough but which has a pretty crude fence arrangment. I'd fairly recently bought a Freud router which compared favorably with my Porter Cable units so I tried this. The machine is an upgrade but it's got its annoying issues. The motor's fine, the balance is good, the fence is pretty good as well although the lock on both the height and angle adjustments are easily knocked out of position unless they are very tight. Things that are a little troublesome are the easily plugged chip chute, the sawdust catch bag which does not stay on the machine - falls off immediately. The size of the chip chute connection doesn't fit any standard hoses I've got. The switch on the motor can best be described as funky requiring a sliding and rocking motion. The price is a plus the accuracy is more than adequate. Just some rough edges. Would spring for the PC next time but this thing does the job so I am not likely to replace it any time soon.
