Harbor Freight 6" Jointer - Woodworking Talk
Aug 17, 2012 · 2 different tools, with some crossover. A planer is for thicknessing, taking rough lumber down to a specific thickness. A jointer is more for making an edge straight and sqaure to the adjacent face (the one along the fence). A jointer can be used as a planer in that the face of a board can be run if the board is not wider than the jointer.

Planer options - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
Aug 15, 2023 · At least in my experience, I won't buy Harbor Freight tools that cost hundreds of dollars as I find the tolerances aren't up to the level needed to do better than "good enough". I picked up a 15" planer for around $700 (Craig's List) that took some adjusting but will outlast and outperform any of the small lunchbox planers.
Thickness Planers on a budget - WEN vs Bauer vs Triton?
Apr 24, 2020 · I'm interested in this too, because I'm still looking for a thickness planer and don't want to spend DeWalt 735X money. Wen and Bauer are two I've ruled out.

Is this a Harbor Freight planer? - Woodworking Talk
Jun 16, 2024 · It probably isn't Harbor Freight. I don't think it will help you to know who made it, it's old enough parts would be discontinued.

If you really need to know the maker you might post your question at Old Woodworking Machines forum, owwm.org.

Harbor Freight 6" Jointer | Page 2 | Woodworking Talk
Jul 21, 2012 · I got the 6 inch Harbor Freight jointer recently. I am still fighting with it. Pros: The motor has plenty of power and I haven't had it bog down. It's nice and heavy and stable. The construction is sturdy. The tables, from what I can tell, are flat. Though they are a little rough. The fence is nice and flat too. Cons: It's a pain in the ass to ...
