Customer Reviews for DEWALT 6.5 Amp Heavy Duty Plate Joiner Kit

I had never used a plate joiner before, it was a lot easier than I had thought. I was able to join the wood for a stool top without a lot of effort and the alignment of the wood was supurb.

Had to make a couple adjustments out of the box, but they were simple. Dust is not exiting the dust port (or so it seemed), but vacuum hose was not connected. Otherwise, it seems to be working fine.

Excellent tool! Joined two slabs of walnut together for a countertop. The results were great.

Works great, pinion drive for depth adjustment is excellent.

Either the fence or the blade is crooked so all of my joints are out of plane with each other.

Just as I expected good product

Easy to use. Very versatile. I would highly recommend it.

So far this has done the job well. It feels compact and sturdy, cuts very well and has a smooth mechanism. My only gripe is the dust port, I would have rather the dust ports have a button to release the port instead of pulling on it so hard, which caused me to bang my elbow against sharp wood so that was the only issue I’ve had with it so far. It makes perfect sized biscuit holes and did the job well. It was easy to figure out how to replace the blade, it comes with a hex tool and instructions on how to replace it. Overall this will be a tool that will be used heavily, and cannot wait to break it in more.

This tool was just what I needed! Makes a fast work and a big difference when doing glue up projects.

The quality is exceptional and you do pay for that at this price point. replacement parts are becomeing an issue.

This thing is top-notch. I have been searching all over the internet for one and kept coming back to this one. It's well-built and very durable. Cuts super smoothly. Highly recommend this over anything else.

tool is an excellent jointer. Makes a full cut in 2 seconds. clean and precise. Only issue is the throat is too small for it to continuously shoot the chips into the collection bag. I stuck a shop vac hose on the output and let is run. clean and perfect. I had exactly enough biscuits for the project, all very consistent size.

Needed to join two interior doors and this made it go smoothly. After a few test runs to check alignment it worked great. I agree with others that the dust collection leaves a little to be desired. Shavings get caught in the exhaust tube so it requires you to stop and clear that out more often than you’d expect.

It was very easy to use and allowed me make 8/4” walnut countertops for a kitchen. Using this allowed the plank top surfaces to be aligned resulting in little sanding.

The plate joiner worked to perfection. Cut the slots clean for the #20 biscuits I used to make a new oak tabletop.

Very easy to setup and calibrate. Works as advertised. Definitely want to use the vacuum adapter. Had no problem connecting a standard 1 1/4 inch vacuum hose. Just needed to ensure that it was properly seated in the adapter.

It is a perfect machine
