Our Take

Best for: Woodworkers needing an affordable benchtop jointer for small projects.

The CRAFTSMAN CMEW020 is a solid benchtop jointer for hobbyists and small workshops. Its variable speed motor lets you match the cutter head speed to the wood type, reducing tear-out on hardwoods and giving cleaner cuts on softwoods. The two-knife cutter head with jackscrew leveling makes blade changes simple and precise without removing the cutter head assembly. The center-mounted fence provides good support for edge jointing, and the 10 Amp motor has enough torque for most tasks up to 6-inch wide boards. As a benchtop model, it saves space but requires a sturdy stand or workbench. Dust collection is not built in, so you'll need a shop vac or dust collector connected to the port. 99 (23% off list), it offers strong value for a feature-rich jointer. If you need portability or have limited space, this is a great choice.

Price Analysis

At $229.99, this jointer is 23% off the $299 original price. That's a solid discount for a well-equipped benchtop model. If you need a jointer for small projects, this is a good time to buy.

Common Questions

Can I joint hardwood with this jointer?

Yes, the 10 Amp motor with variable speed handles hard and soft woods effectively. Adjust the speed lower for hardwoods to reduce tear-out.

How do I adjust the knives?

The jackscrew knife leveling system lets you adjust each knife independently without removing the cutter head. A built-in lock holds the head in place for safe adjustments.

Does it include a stand?

No, the jointer is benchtop only and requires a separate stand or sturdy work surface for operation.
