Makita PJ7000 240V Biscuit Jointer Supplied in a Carry Case, Blue, SMALL

I am SO happy. I love this. Perfect to hold, use and store. I thought I’d have to pay a lot more to get anything as good as this. Thank you, Makita. This is a great piece of kit at a brilliant price. Smooth. Accurate. Creates seamless joints. LOVE…IT.

I had bought a DeWalt biscuit jointer just over 2 years ago and, despite relatively light use, the gears have broken in the motor.This Makita jointer is ~£100 cheaper than the DeWalt and I am so pleased that I chose it. It feels rock solid and is far more precise than the DeWalt - solid and a proper precision piece of kit. Used it to joint a thin tabletop together and the tolerances were outstanding. Recommended

Having used cheaper versions from high street DIY companies, this one is far better - the common issue with a cheap biscuit jointer is that there is a degree of play or wobble in the mechanism, making accuracy more difficult. The Makita biscuit jointer is rock solid and accurate. Simply line up your two pieces of wood and draw a straight line across both. Now take each in turn and line up that mark with the relevant indicator on the front of the tool and seconds later you have two accurate slots.The sawdust does sometimes remain in the slot so you may need to clear it out, but it doesn't seem to affect the cutting of the slot and it is easy to remove. Not the cheapest as the others will do the same basic task for 1/4 of the price, but for a solid accurate tool it is difficult to beat this one.

Bought for a woodworking project where biscuit jointing looked to be a real time saver. As this might be a one-off for me I considered the budget options but in the end, having done some research went with the Makita. I'm happy with the choice- it's versatile, easy to use, accurate and well built so I expect it to last. And it's come in handy for several other jobs so it will earn its corn.

An excellent machine - the only problem was that it arrived with a broken handle. It was cheaper and less hassle to buy a new handle from Makita and fit it myself than to return it for a refund.

It cuts nice, clean slots, and my Trend 4mm biscuits are a good fit.I've been building planters from deckboards, the last one is entirely biscuit-jointed and Titebond 3 'd, not a screw in sight. We'll see how well they hold up over winter. A learning exercise.The only gripe I have is the waste tube is just too close to the barrel of the motor, I cant wrap my hand around it, no biggie.Its not too loud, just the usual sharp thing tearing tree to shreds noises.The blade port is set in the plate putting the blade centered in a 18mm board, so I need a piece of hardboard to centre it on 22mm deckboard. Once I've mastered it with "rustic" furniture, I'll try some "fine" items.

Well made bit of kit. Accurate and a good price

Wow, what a stunning machine. Very light, but powerful. Cam action setup on guide is excellent, very clear settings, easy to align with the work, accurate cut and very powerful.Ergonomics are great, and everything feels logical and falls into your hands while using. Only gripe is the odd, wobbly dust bag connection, which allows the bag to flop around freely, which can get in the way. Not sure what the idea was, but a rubber band holds in in place fine if it does get in the way. Probably done to be flexible with a vacuum hose, which makes sense (Makita?)Tool is so good, don't worry, I'd recommend this highly, very pleased.
