Ryobi Model JM-100 Joiner

Couple of hours after I posted, I realized that I should have done a Google Usenet search. I found those posts.

I spent some more time working with it tonight and I agree with you about it being finicky with setting the fence angle. With what I expect to be using it for, I can take the time to properly set it up. It looks well built and for $35, I cannot complain if it does not meets my needs.

Thank you for your reply.

I borrowed it from my friend who also picked his up at a garage sale! I cam see bisquit joints in my future, and this JM100 is the standard I'll look for in one when I purchase. Yes you must be careful when adjusting the femce to be certain both sides are equal, but c'mon, take a little time double check adjustments and your good! Maybe if doing production work I'd prefer a little more but i do this (wood working) as a hobby to relax. Thank you, Mike

One wonders if Rex is still using his JM100 15 years after he asked about it.

Maybe he's even tried pocket screws by now. ;-)
