Editorial Review:
Get professional results with the DELTA JT360 Shopmaster 6-inch jointer with heavy-duty 3/4 HP, 120/240-volt induction motor and sturdy heavy-gauge steel stand. This high-quality jointer features a built-in dust chute that directs all of the dust and wood chips away from the operator. DELTA fitted the JT360 with a three-knife cutterhead for incredibly precise cuts, and a center-mounted fence that tilts for beveling and chamfering. The 46-inch long table can handle stock as wide as 6six inches, and it features cast-iron support ledge for rabbeting operations. Accessory switch required for 240-volt operation (not included).

Great for the price
At 320 bucks shipped, a very good deal. Down from about $410. Either it is an end of year clearence, or a new model is coming.
This is assemble yourself. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. You do need help lifting and turning this puppy. The parts do come covered in grease and need to be cleaned.
As other reviews indicate, fairly straight forward to assemble. I did buy a universal stand to move it around, but it seems hokey. Do wish Delta would design wheels etc into it integrally, it would not be that much... more info
Great jointer
I found this jointer to be reasonably easy to assemble, adjust, and use. It would have been easier for me to assemble by myself if it were not as heavy, but now I'm glad it's heavy.

However, it was no problem at all to adjust the outfeed table height to precisely the height of the knives. The fence was slightly off of perpendicular to the table, but again, easy to adjust. The parts bag had exactly the number... more info
Completely pleased
I read quite a few reviews before finally purchasing this jointer. The high rating and big savings combined to make it a very attractive offer. I received the unit yesterday morning and immediately opened the package spreading its contents across my work bench. The one thing that stood out most in my mind from reading the reviews was "Read the instructions" Sound advice. This is a serious piece of equipment. It took me about 2 hours to assmeble the unit alone having wrangled one of my teenage sons into... more info
Cheap - that's what IT IS
Problems started right from the beginning during the assembly.
The stand is not square so when attaching the main unit to the base using 3 provided screws I was able to put only 2. For the third one the holes don't align. There's no way to square this thing. After "assembling" I tried to align the outfeed table to the blades. Surprise! I can turn the adjusting wheel back and forth but table doesn't move. It is about 1/8" higher than the blades. I don't know what other surprises awaiting me when I will... more info
