Shop TESTI The first significant difference you will see is the cutter guard. The spring-loaded, swing-out cutter guards ubiquitously seen on jointers are not to be found. Both of these machines have a T-shaped guard mounted on an arm (see photo, page 78). They are adjustable to accommodate the thickness of the wood you will face-joint (this is done by adjusting the arm). The T-shaped guard slides in and out in a collar to adjust for fence placement and the dimension of the stock you will edge-joint. The guard is made of an aluminum extrusion, finished with plastic end caps. Because they are aluminum, these guards won't injure your knives if they were to accidentally get mixed up with each other. Functionally, I found them to be effective and easy to adjust. They kept my fingers clear of the blades but were still easy to get out of the way when I needed to address distortion in my stock. The fences on both of these machines were a bit underwhelming. Again, made of extruded aluminum stock, they are not up to the standards I am used to on Shop Test continues on page 82...
