WENJN8504 8.5-Amp Plate and Biscuit Joiner with Case and Biscuits

Excellent. Elevated my wood working game. Adds a level of fit, finish and precision that I lacked before, despite hours of planning and wasted effort. Now, less waste and confidence increasing.Great for home workshop. Not festool level, but it is close at a fraction of price.Recently have purchased several WEN items (air filter, saws (plunge and miter etc) and more). They are as good or better than the Ryobi level products but even cheaper. Can outfit my workshop for a fraction of higher priced brands. Starting to trust the brand.Wife asked to borrow, She assumed it would be useful in kitchen to link shortbread cookies for a tiramisu style dessert. (She was joking but her comical attempts were worth the cost of purchase alone).Btw - dessert was a mess but delicious.

Well-made tool, making this an excellent value for an occasional word-worker like me. My first project was with hard wood. The cuts were clean but I could feel the blade struggling a bit and did see some minor burn marks inside the cuts. Will get a better blade for future projects involving hard wood. The tool itself is solid and the motor appeared to have sufficient power.

This is a pretty good saw for the beginner. It comes well packaged, with everything included in the case. I thought the case was well designed, making it possible to easily fit the saw and accessories back into the case quite easily. It's definitely an entry level saw though, mostly because of the guide, which is not particularly intuitive, or accurate as other joiners that I've seen, like some of the older craftsman models. The cuts were accurate, but the using saw-guide will definitely require practice to get any kind of accuracy.

It's my second wen product purchase. It works great, smooth and powerful operation. I haven't used it for joining wood yet, I got it to do a hidden fastener deck because I didn't want grooves visible all around, or screws in the picture frame portion. It worked awesome for that purpose. I'm a carpenter by trade and I will get all sorts of use out of this tool. It's high enough quality to have my approval, that says a lot because I'm very picky about my tools

Easy to use. Easy to adjust depth, height, and angle. Lightweight.

Good value for the buck when your in a pinch

Works very well and you can’t beat the price.

Tackling my first wood building projects and this was a great product for the price point starting out. Used it for a couple of my countertop glue ups and the co-planer surface between the boards is perfect.As others have mentioned the dust bag collector gets clogged easily so recommend just hooking it up to a shop vac with the right size adjustment.Also went ahead and replaced the blade with another one that another review mentioned (CMT 240.008.04 Biscuit Joiner Blade, 4-Inch Diameter x 8 Teeth, PTFE-Coated.) just to avoid any issues.Used #20 biscuits from another source (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B082349WRP?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image) which these seem thicker than the ones provided with the tool. These biscuits made for a tight fit and did a great job aligning the boards.Update: For my first cabinet and wood countertop I am pleased with these tools and how it’s turned out so far. Worth the money for entry level projects.
