Looking to get a good quality biscuit jointer. Have seen a new De Walt
DW682K for £160 on ebay. Anyone used one of these or got another
recommendation at a similar price?

Cheers.

I have had one of these. Most DeWalt products are pretty good, but
this one is a dud. There is a design fault whereby the fence setting
angle is 2-3 degrees out near 90 degrees. This makes it pretty
useless. I returned mine, had another, same thing, therefore refund.
At least one other person in this NG did the same.

I would suggest one of three options:

- If you are not looking for great accuracy and ease of use then you
may find that a tool in the £60 league acceptable.

- In the range that you are looking, Makita and Bosch have products in
the £190 area

- If you are looking for something that really is good quality, then
Lamello make a better product. However, they start at the £240 range.

Hmmm. Thanks for the info.
