- Cutech jointer review. I unbox the new Cutech 10-inch jointer and offer a review while examining its features. Is it a better option than Wahuda?

Holy crap! There’s another guy just like me out there! Thanks for this video!
I have this one and love it. Has similar footprint to 8-inch and works well in small show.
I ordered the 12in version of this the other day. Can't wait till it's delivered! I already have a spot for it and plenty of work!
I have created a cart for mine and that has made it much easier to use in my small shop.
Very Nice job! I appreciate Your coverage of this unit I’m getting the 12” model and now I’m excited because as You describe this will save So much Time Thanks !
Glad I could help. I've used the jointer several times since I made the video and it has continued to perform better than I had hoped. It has brought my woodworking to a new level.
How do you like the 12" model? Do you find the tables too short? I have a very large 8" jointer and it is great but I often work with wide slabs and need something wider. I am thinking of keeping my 8" and adding this 12" to my shop for those wide boards...
Not absolutely sure but if you want 4 sided cutters you could maybe use the Wahuda blades. I think these are twin machines.
Just checked the Wahuda website, their knives will NOT work with these machines apparently.
For a couple years, I’ve been considering updating the head on my 1980’s Inca 10” straight knife jointer. Due to variations in that old model design, there were 3 slightly different cutter heads to choose between and hopefully order correctly. It was a custom order deal that could waste lots of time and money if I didn’t get it right. So, I took my jointer apart and measured things from pulleys and bearings to throat and couldn’t match anything 100% to the pages of PDFs they sent. So rather than take a chance and make a costly mistake, I finally bought a new 8” helical head jointer because sharpening and setting knives is the worst job out there. Anyway, I think you have a segmented cutter head. Best of my knowledge there are 3 styles: segmented (like yours), spiral (where knives follow a spiral path and cut parallel to the table), and helical (where knives are arranged in a spiral and cut on a 3°~5° skew to the table. Carbide inserts - the way to go. Btw, good video but the background music -might consider dropping it of lowering its volume
Thanks for the tip. Its my first time doing this.
Question- with a big jointer like this, do you need a planer?
In my experience, yes! A jointer flattens one face and side, and a planer cuts to thickness using the flattened side as a reference.
It's the same argument as a table saw. A track saw or circular saw can do what a table saw can do, but you'll spend a whole lot more time making it work and a whole lot more times getting it wrong.
Yes, you would need a planer. The jointer can only flatten one side, but it cannot make the sides parallel. The planer makes the two sides parallel. I used a planer for a long time without a jointer because I could use a table saw jig and a planer jig to do the same work as a jointer. It took far more time and was often difficult. A jointer without a planer would leave you without the option to create parallel sides on your boards.
