Grizzly Industrial 6 Inch Corded Benchtop Jointer with Spiral-Type Cutterhead – G0946

Description

G0946 6″ x 30″ Benchtop Jointer with Spiral-Type Cutterhead. The best-valued 6″ benchtop jointer on the market. This benchtop jointer features a spiral-type cutterhead for smoother finishes, quieter operation, and less maintenance compared with straight-knife cutterheads. The 12 high-speed steel (HSS) inserts sit square to the axis of the cutterhead, with the cutting edges perpendicular to the workpiece. HSS has been heat-treated for hardness and wear resistance, which keeps a sharp edge longer than other carbon steels. Each two-sided insert can each be rotated once to expose a new sharp edge. The overall size of the inserts contacting 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. Compact in size, the G0946 has a small footprint, making it easy to move from jobsites and stores easily when you want it out of the way. Benchtop models have a bad reputation for being underpowered. The 1-1/2 HP motor is bigger than “traditional” 1 HP motor options from other brands. Budget-friendly and ready for the jobsite or garage.
