In addition to the standard 2lh in. discharge. the AMT and Sears jointers come with a dust-port adapter to fit J1/4 in. vacuum hoses—a bit small for the amount of chips generated by these machines. has its chip discharge on ihe left side of the machine, with an optional adaptor lilting for a 4 in. dust collecior hose. During my tests, all the jointers generated mountains of chips and sawdust when facing hoards over 2 in. wide. In my opinion, a I '/-t in. hose would clog fairly quickly under these conditions, especially if connected lo smaller shop vacuums, like the one I used on the AMT and Sears machines. I'd guess that some of the larger shop vacuums w ith 2'/^ in. hoses could probably handle these machines. The dust collector hookup on the Delta makes the tnosl sense, plus I liked the chip chute location, which blows the chips off the side of the bench, rather than behind it. Editor's Choice Of all the jointers ! tested, the Delta has the best combination of features, not the least of which are an easily adjustable fence, easy-to-read depih-of-cut scale, and variable speed. All controls operated smoothly and accurately, making it a joy 10 use. However, the Delta is also the most expensive of the lot (unless you happen 10 find a good deal through one of the woodworking catalogs). If you're on a budget and don't need the lull ft in. capacity, I'd recommend the 4>/s in. Sears (model 23ft22>. It's a sturdy little machine wilh a fully adjustable fence that makes sense (the same fence adjustment system found on the larger Sears and AMT machines).
