Title: Failed after less than 100 cuts - But then they honored my expired warranty !
Review: I replaced all our home's windows and so had to build all new window casings. My house has 13 windows, but I built casings for only 12 because we're remodeling that last room. Each window has four corners requiring 2 cuts each corner. So I made 12 times 4 times 2 cuts. That's 96 cuts not including test cuts when I set the thing up. It's made a horrible racket since the first time I pulled the trigger, but it's the first biscuit cutter I've owned so I assumed that was normal. WRONG !But it worked great for me and I made every casing totally without incident. I was completely happy.After several other unrelated projects I dusted it off to make some decorative panels. It made the usual racket for the first 2 cuts then the blade stopped turning with the motor. The motor sounded fine and the blade spins, but not with the motor. I took it apart and found the large bevel gear was half stripped. Half stripped after less than 100 cuts. Obviously I was shipped a unit with a defective gear right up front. Thus all the noise. The gear appears to be made of less than metal although it is magnetic. I'd guess some kind of pressed metallic stuff.Apparently this is a problem because most online sources are saying the replacement part - the entire case with the gear pressed in - is "out of stock". I bet.The tool is out of warranty, but I called DeWalt anyway to see what they'll do for me. After a long wait (with highly over-amped noise some might call music), giving all my information, being placed on hold several times (oh yay - more "music") I was promised an email that I could submit a warranty claim providing a copy of my receipt. It's been over half an hour since we hung up. No email yet. They have my information. I registered the thing when I bought it. I offered him my serial# so he look it up. He didn't want it.I'll update this if/when I see what happens.UPDATE: After several hours of calls/chats I finally finished a warranty process. The person gave me an order# and confirmed to me that although the replacement part is out of stock (with an expected date of "00/00/0000") I can expect it to ship within 8 to 10 business days. We will see. Then I will update this post again. I might even give them a star.UPDATE (Part Deux): I unexpectedly received a delivery today from DeWalt. Yup. They didn't just send me a replacement part. They sent me an entire new jointer (and carrying bag) ! I guess I should have expected that since we live in a throw away economy, but I was surprised none the less. Of course the first thing I did was open the box, plug it in and give it a spin. Clearly my original unit was trash from the start. This one sounds so much better. I told my daughter about the replacement jointer and she said I could now sell the old one and let someone else figure how to get the replacement part. I told her "No way". I'm keeping this one for parts since it's exactly the same as my old one. She accused me of being a hoarder. Fair enough. But I come from a time when we t least attempted to fix things before we threw them away. Plus I have entire shop to keep it in. (The land of the misfit tools !)So I changed the title and upped the stars to 4. If I had received non-defective unit from the start I would have given them 5 stars. I really do like this tool. Now I'm gonna head out to the shop, check that it's square, set it up for the cuts I need to make in the current (interrupted) project and get back to it. I'm happy with my choice of DeWalt again.UPDATE (Part III) What a difference ! This tool is great ! It cuts clean and fast. I've only used it for a few dozen cuts, but it's way better than I expected having dealt with the first unit. I'm so happy I changed my 4 stars to 5.

Title: Rookie Woodworker Report
Review: So I'm just getting in to making items with wood that are actually nice to look at. I grew up watching Norm and always admired his skill and his TOOL collection!On to my review - my first project with this was a deck box to store outdoor cushions and I used an assortment of 1x6, 1x4, 1x3 to make the sides, bottom and trim, plans were developed in the head, on the fly.Initial impression was good - the device appears to be well constructed, is pretty well balanced and the adjustments appear pretty easy.First use - On some scrap wood I put a few slots in it and it took a bit to figure out how the biscuit depth/size (0,10,20) was registered on rotating adjustment, once I figured this out, it was off to start joining boards, once the locations for the joint are identified, lineing up and maintaining the joiner on the spot on the wood was very easy. There is a springloaded abrasive (I don't know the technical term for it) on the face of the tool where the blade retracts that once the device is held tightly against the work surface, it holds the joiner in place for the duration of the plunge and cut. It does generate a good bit of dust and depending on your position it can end up towards your face. Eye protection is a great idea (as well as ears) when using this or any power tool. The cuts that it made (I've used it to make about 100 slots now) have all been very clean and accurate.For someone that it just getting in to woodworking, this is great tool, and I doubt that for my use (limited weekend/evening use) I'll ever exceed it's capabilities/useful life. I've got several Dewalt power tools that are 17 years old now and still function like new and I have had good experience with with their products. I am not a "DeWalt" only tool person though, I have Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow and Grey tools in my garage.Update 4/14/2015 - I've had the biscuit joiner for about a year now, and it's still operating as as new. I'm very happy with the purchase. I've since made drawers, cabinet doors and large surfaces with several boards running lengthwise. It's functioned with ease and I'm still on the first cutter blade with no discernible degradation in cutting performance (blade or motor).

Title: Not sure what to think.
Review: This is really a mixed bag, on one side you have the good price unless you buy at retail, than it`s way overpriced.I used the prior model for years at my job, no real problems but also nothing to brag about.One thing I never liked was the size of the case, but it was a nice and sturdy metal one.When I saw that they changed it to a new plastic model I was hoping for more space, but the new case seems even smaller.I do not know what is going on with the engineers at Dewalt but this is not good.It is not easy to get all the tool and all the parts in there and the cable is bent pretty goodwhere it comes out of the tool, not good since that is always a week point.The handle which houses the trigger was loose, not a big deal since tighten 2 screws solved the problem,but not sure if that should be the case with a brand like Dewalt.I checked the the line up of the blade and it checked out okay but the fixed shoe does not line up with the housing,so in the end blade and the fixed shoe do not line up.It`s not a lot but I will see if that causes trouble.One improvement are the new adjustable anti slippage pins.UPDATE: I looked at the tool more closely and the misalignment was due to the fixed shoewas not aligned properly at the factory, but with loosing two screws and realigning it seems fine.I was debating with myself if I should return it or not but for now I am going to keep it and see how it works out.Update II: After aligning the shoe I did quite some work with itand it worked without problems besides the poor dust control.

Review: È in assoluto tra le migliori ha tanti piccoli dettagli che sembrano poca cosa invece ne fanno una lamellatrice molto valida. Primo alzata è abbassata della slitta avviene tramite un ingranaggio che lavora sia sx che a dx quindi la slitta è sempre in squadra . Secondo ha possibilità di regolare il piano inferiore, poi ha due nottolini appuntiti che si appoggiano alla parte da fresare tenendo ferma la fresatrice gli stessi possono essere regolati all’ interno con un cacciavite a taglio nel caso si debba fare una fresata continua e non ultimo ha un disco veramente preciso usando i l’anello originali si inseriscono nella fresata in modo molto preciso avendo provato altre frese non è una cosa scontata . Per la mia esperienza posso dire che è molto valida di meglio bisogna andare su lamellatrici della Festool ma li è un altro mondo spero di essere stato chiaro
