I think my buddy's opinion of the Jet is mixed; it does the job ok, but
it's nothing to get excited about. He considers the molder feature to be
a waste; he's never found any need for it, especially after looking into
the cost of the cutters (none of which come with the machine). Nor is it
blessed with an overabundance of power, but I don't recall him
complaining about that. I don't know how well the dust collection works,
but I haven't heard him complain about that either. I can find out more
from him if you're interested.



I've made a lot of molding in mine. I guess if you have a need for custom
molding you will use it , otherwise...

The planer tends to snipe the ends of the boards, othewise no complaints.
