Our 8" Bench top jointerwith Helical Style Cutterhead features a powerful 1HP motor and a 4 row helical cutterhead with 16 indexable cutters giving you power and superior finish you would expect from a stationary machine.
Designed to manage larger, deeper cuts in wood, this parallelogram style jointer with helical style cutterhead is quieter and delivers a smoother finish compared to straight knife jointers which will reduce your sanding time. You can say goodbye to cumbersome and time consuming blade changes like straight knife jointers. Blade changes on this machine are simple and super fast. Chip an insert cutter? Simply unscrew the indexable cutter and rotate to get a fresh new cutting edge.
Teflon coated tables allow for better movement of your work even when dealing with the toughest of hardwoods. The table also features extendable handles, extending the surface for longer pieces of wood and double as strong carry handles for ease of portability. The depth of cut gauge helps you accurately set the cut depth to remove the desired amount of material.
The strong aluminum fence is lightweight keeping the overall weight of the machine down and has positive stops at the most common fence positions; 90° & 135° outwards. This unit also features a dual dust collection port at 2-1/2" & 4" for easy hook up to a shop vac or dust collector.
This machine is designed to tackle any type wood and is a welcome addition to any size shop or worksite. This machine is backed by a full 3 year warranty and available exclusively at Busy Bee Tools.

jointer
The jointer manual was very helpful in setting up the jointer. Very little adjusting needed and seyying the jointer was simple. The machine worked well on edging and on flat surfaces. I built a stand for the jointer with casters. Easy to move around/.

Good for DIY'er
The 8in. bed and extension wings are nice but the bed's aren't machined perfectly flat. The finish is really nice and smooth. Hooking up even just a shop vac to dust collection picks up almost all debris. I don't find the fence particularly sturdy and once you get it to 90deg tightening it almost always throws it out of square which is annoying. Prepare to spend time constantly fiddling with this if you move the fence at all and want square cuts. Overall a decent machine for the DIY'er/hobbyist and you probably won't find one with an 8in bed for this price.

Best 8” benchtop jointer
Very happy so far with the jointer. It leaves a nice smooth surface. Very easy to set up and use.

8" Benchtop Jointer
The jointer is great. No issues. The safety push pads they provide you with for this machine are utter garbage, and should be replaced immediately. They do not grip material at all, causing the pads to slide along the surface of the material as you try to move it over the cutters. Hugely dangerous.

Great weekend warrior machine
Jointer was very accurate right out of the box, both tables were co-planar, assembly instructions were clear and detailed. Jointed about 50 feet of 6" wide purpleheart and walnut for a project and the finish was really good.

Craftex 8in Helical Bench top Jointer
Impressive results out if the box simple assembly, quiet compared to other bench top models. Used on 8/4 cherry as of now and it does an amazing job. Only concern is that the table is starting to peel the black Teflon. Consisten use I would imagine. I've sprayed it with Glide coat and it works great. Really happy with my purchase.

Very pleased
Works very well and the size is perfect for my small shop. I have jointed some large boards and the extensions really help. I highly recommend this.
