Here's What a Wahuda Jointer Is Actually Like After 2 Years

I placed my order today and mentioned your video and he knew of the video where you pointed out the flex in the fence and they now include stabilizers at no extra charge, again based on your review. I like dealing with a company that listens to owners of their products.😊

I have the Cutech 8" version of this jointer. Fairly new and I am impressed with output so far. One thing you might be interested in is they created fence supports or stiffeners. They make the fence rock solid and I am pretty sure you could retrofit parts to the older Wahuda jointers. Give Cutech a call as they do sell parts here in the US.

I actually just bought the Wahuda 8" jointer for my daughter and I, so this was a nice video to see 👍 Coincidentally, I also bought those exact push blocks you mentioned at the same time we purchased the jointer. We are definitely in the beginner phase, working out of a "garage shop" so it was nice to see we didn't buy trash that we would quickly regret. I'm a bit older, so this is more of a hobby thing for me, along with doing some projects around the house, but for her she might actually make a career out of woodworking some day :)

I spend so much money after watching your videos. 😂 I just purchased the 13 inch Oliver planer today after watching your video. I imagine this jointer is next. I also bought the compact sawstop and it has changed my life. 😃

I just got this jointer for Christmas and love it. My only issue was the knob for the fence sliding bracket was broken in the packaging. I called Wahuda directly and their customer service is excellent. They put the part in the mail the same day. I’m looking forward to utilizing this tool for years to come. Thank you Matt for the recommendation.

The flex of the fence takes it out of the running for me. I’ll save up for a full side jointer with cast iron features.

7:03 The GRR-RIPPER from Microjig also has that drop down feature. I know for the older kits, it was not included, and had to be purchased separately, which is what I had to do, and I'm not sure about the newer kits. On a side note, I just picked up a (not so gently) used, 6 inch jointer (not a bench top) from Facebook Marketplace VERY affordably, although it did need some TLC and elbow grease to clean it up, and now it purrs like a kitten. The table tops were pretty rusty, and now they look almost brand new. The only thing I want to do now, is add a Shelix cutter to it, and give it a fresh paint job after I move. Having said all that, I'm not going to enter this giveaway, which hopefully allows someone else who needs this in their shop, win it. GOOD LUCK to everyone who needs this jointer in their

Bought one for the Labor Day sale . Love your honesty!

I had this jointer and even with help from a few phone calls with Wahuda, could not get the tables setup to run properly. I found the table adjustment method very fiddly and got frustrated with it after trying to get it to work for several weeks. I was excited to get this jointer, but the fiddly setup process made it a no-go for me. I returned it.

I'm glad to see your review on the jointer. I'm looking for a bench top jointer and had done some research. Still not sold on a specific jointer, I looked for YT reviews and found your review very helpful. I trust your reviews so I'm going for the Wahuda! Thank you.

Came for the woodworking, stayed for the tubatens and wonbufours. Nice pushblocks brother.

[RichardRecupero]

I got the 10 inch. Works really well. Still gotta remember that in out trick.

[elaine]

Bought this over a year ago. With the pull out feeder and cast iron top, it was great value. I went with a carbide chips over the blade, as blades are expensive and do not have a long life. I use it all the time on mostly hard woods. For the smaller shop, it is perfect. Yes, the fence could be a little more solid, but it is square and easily adjustable. Customer support was supreme. Oh, and it came with blocks that are perfectly adequate.

[TragicOnion]

Wahuda now sells a fence stabilizing kit on Amazon. I bought the 10 inch jointer after watching your video, and the kit was in the recommended. Hopefully that fixes any stabilization issues.

[jimbetzing]

I've used the table saw method. It worked pretty good! A jointer would be the cats pajamas in my little shop. Thanks for the review!

[christopherchandler]

I have been having problems with my 8inch Wahuda jointer. The infeed table does not stay in parallel with the outfeed table with being lowered. The left side lowers before the right side. A lot of times the knobs would get stuck on the fence, the lock knob for depth of cut for the infeed table, and I would have to use an adjustable wrench to free them up.

[greggordon]

I also have the 8" Wahuda Jointer and got it when it first came out. It is wonderful and perfect for a small shop. I use it all the time for the same reasons you mentioned. I just make sure to keep boards at 5 ft max as you said. Most of my projects are less than that anyway (cutting boards, end tables and such). Great review!
I highly recommend the company. I've emailed with the owner and he was prompt to respond and seems like a nice guy. I even had a broken dust extractor (plastic) on arrival and emailed customer service on a Sunday. To my shock it was responded to on the same day! I had the piece in 3 days without anything other than showing a picture of the crack.

[philipbrister]

Made the purchase today, based on this video. 731 seems to shoot straight. Free shipping today and tomorrow from Wahuda. God bless. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Man, I wished I stayed in the USA and could join your give-away comp. I love your channel. Jesus Rules!

[CTRLALTMAKE]

I bought this one partially based on your initial comments and it still works great for me. It was a pain to get dialed in initially but has worked great sense. It does definitely get clogged up when using a shop vac. I also use the same push blocks and they are great.
