I to purchased a Jointech about a thousand years ago and have the same
complaint about the fence not matching input and outfeed faces. I
always thought I just had a bad one. I have used mine a great deal and
like it very much. Very versatile tool.

I purchased a Jointech model about a thousand years ago and have
generally been happy with it. The positioning function is simple to
use. The documentation and templates are first rate. I do have two
nits to pick (that may have been addressed in subsequent models), to
wit:

1. There is a slight mismatch on the fence face plane where the
(orange) insert meets the (black) fence plates. On mine, the
"downstream" fence plate protrudes just a bit (~1/64") from the insert
face. This creates an irritating tendency for a workpiece to catch on
the fence plate when its leading edge encounters the transition from
the insert to the fence plate. The solution is either to remove the
downstream fence plate and file a bevel on its leading edge or to
apply a thin shim to the insert face.
