Today on The Garage Engineer, we review the Wahuda 8” jointer. Model 50180CC-WHD (with 4 sided carbide tips). Is this the best benchtop jointer on the market? Come and join us as we give our opinion and learn about its features. Also, as a bonus we build a stand for the jointer. We only use reclaimed material. This stand is strong and does not wobble.

*Love the size and weight of this little jointer **MyBest.Tools** Easy to set up and light enough to pick up and put away. The adjusters and controls are dead easy to use. It has an aluminum deck rather than iron, but for those who are careful it should suffice, and it has a vacuum port that, unlike some other tools I have, actually gathers ALL the dust. Very happy with this for the price.*

no thi sis cast iron. aluminum fence

Put mine together yesterday. Used it today. Milled 30 2” pine strips. 3 passes each. Smooooth. Next up Walnut. So far, so good

32 inch legs is the perfect height for me. great job friend!!!

@TheGarageEngineer 3 года назад

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

@gailwilliams9084 Год назад

No expert my any means but shouldn't first step be flattening the board before squaring the edge?

@TheGarageEngineer Год назад

With a jointer you can square the edge without flattening first. But it depends on our final goal of the project which order you choose. Thanks for watching.

@PYRO-gj9sw 3 года назад

I’m curious to know how it does with hard woods, maple, walnut, Purple Heart, oak?

Good job! Thanks for the great review and the stand idea. I would like to build the stand on rollers with swing up arms that are equal in height to the jointer table. I am going to order the 10” version today! :-)

@TheGarageEngineer 3 года назад

10 inch.? Is that new? I must have missed it when I ordered mine. I will check it out. Thanks for watching.

@adrianabshire 3 года назад

@@TheGarageEngineer yes, the 10 inch is new and on pre-order for November sometime next week I think - I sent them an email to sales@wahudatool.com (the one on the website does not work) and they said I could drive by and pick one up from their place in TN, I will probably get one next week

@mitchellkasdin1899 4 года назад

Try a wire brush by hand... followed by a floor scraper/paint scraper, etc...then the electric hand planer? The paint scraper has the blade perpendicular to the handle so it’s more of scraper to knock off the loose concrete. The wire brush like what you use for welding will loosen any embedded gravel or debris.

@TheGarageEngineer 4 года назад

Great idea.

@mitchellkasdin1899 4 года назад

TheGarageEngineer it will save your blades on your e-planer. Eventually you will hit a nail or an FOD? I have a crappy metal wand that I use to check for metal.

@russmartin4189 3 года назад

Or use a flap disk on an angle grinder.

@kirklandbyers7658 3 года назад

Did you not check to see if the face of the board was true through the entire length?

@Hengry-hn7rb 3 года назад

Please clean the concrete off!😬 Nice video by the way 👍

@lawrencep5427 3 года назад

Are you still happy with your Wahuda jointer 6 months later? Looking at purchasing one......though a floor model jointer is still a possibility. thanks

@TheGarageEngineer 3 года назад

Yes. I Ike it and still use it. Very solid machine.

@lawrencep5427 3 года назад

@paul6096 3 года назад

I really like your stand. I plan on building one. However, your spec seems a little tall. The Wahuda cast iron top is about 8.5 inches above the base. Your design has 32" legs. That would put the jointer top at 40" (43-44 with casters). This is way too high. I thinking 22" legs, 3-4" casters, with 8.5 inches to the cast iron top, that will put it the top at about 33-34" from the floor. I suspect this will be easier to work with. I might add 2" to the depth for additional stability.

@TheGarageEngineer 3 года назад

Thanks for watching. The best thing about making custom stands, compared to store bought, is you can make the stand the height that is comfortable to your workflow. Good luck.

no. I check all my boards with a metal detector. probable just staining from an old nail hole in combo with a splinted sticking up. Thanks for watching.

@arkman117 2 года назад

I know it’s been a year but how did this jointer hold up for you?

@TheGarageEngineer 2 года назад

I just used it yesterday. The best part of that tool is the helical head cutter. Thanks for watching.

@jeremymcclanahan2389 3 года назад

it is nothing like helical....it is like a straight knife that is not as long....less cuts per minute than a 3 knife straight blade head. A helical does not hit the wood at a 90 degree angle like this unit. A helical cutter is at an angle the gives a better slicing action

@gregorylondos534 3 года назад

The Tool Looks Good. But your Stand Looks way to High/Tall...??? Greg

@russmartin4189 3 года назад

This is the same jointer as the WEN, but the WEN is $425 at Home Depot.

@TheGarageEngineer 3 года назад

Good to know. I heard there is a 10" model new this year.

@russmartin4189 3 года назад

@@TheGarageEngineer I don't know. I don't want to spend more than I have to and a 10" model might be overkill for me. It seems the 8" would do what I need done. My father made do with a smaller one and built a lot of cabinets with it. He passed away in 2002, but he would have loved the Wahuda 8". I'm sad that he didn't live to see me get into woodworking. I started when I was 70, but I'm having loads of fun.

@chuckgrumble5440 3 года назад

The WEN has HSS cutter heads gramps, wahuda has carbide for the nugget chewing. Everything else is the same as it looks.

For an inexpensive tool. It works quite well.

@benjaminfarthing3849 3 года назад

The jointer is manufactured in Taiwan, not China. So not American made, but also not slave labor authoritarians.

@russmartin4189 3 года назад

You killed me using concrete forms. So, you didn't ruin your jointer knives, but I bet you pretty much destroyed your planer blades. A $3 junk board is not worth it.
