Product Review
Whether youre shopping for your very first jointer for your home workshop or your third for your professional shop, we think Deltas X5 is an excellent choice.
Its price tag comes in under many of its competitors, but the quality is still top-notch, and Delta didnt skimp on the features, our favorite of which is the fences ability to tilt both left and right. If youre cutting just a slight bevel, it does not really matter which way the fence is angled. But for bigger angles, its tricky to keep your workpiece against the fence. Deltas solution: Tilt the fence toward the cutterhead and flip your workpiece so it fits snugly into the lesser angle. Beauty!
We werent sure wed like a lever as opposed to a good old handwheel for infeed table height adjustments, but its easy to operate and gave us precise adjustments. Rabbeting, tapering, edge and face jointing are all a pleasure to perform on the X5. Results were smooth and snipe-free, thanks to the three-knife cutterhead that was set perfectly right from the carton. With a 4800 rpm, youre making 14,400 cuts a minute.
The X5s capacities exceeded our expectations with a max width of 6-1/8 inches and a max depth pass of 1/8 inch. The tables length is just shy of four feet, and we felt comfortable with workpieces as long as eight feet. The fence has positive stops at 45 and 90 degrees, and adjustment is quick and easy should you find them out of alignment.
Assembly took about 90 minutes, and that included swabbing off the generous grease Delta applied for shipping. This machines no lightweight at 225 pounds, so enlist a buddys help when youre ready to set it up.
As jointers go, this ones pleasantly quiet, plenty powerful and solid as a rock.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Reviews & Comments
Delta has been touting the X5 series of tools as the next best thing to sliced bread, and, in many cases this has been the truth. The X5 6" Jointer, leaves something to be desired. It is slightly more expensive than it's competition, and really offers little advantage. It does the job, although it seems to have an easier time with heavier and thinner stock. Somewhere in between (about 6/4 thickness) is has a tendency to jam behind the safety cover that can be irritating. After a while you learn to push through the stock with your hand in position to give the cover a nudge if it starts to bind. Occasionally the blades will try pull the stock away from the fence (I think this might be the source of the jamming). When things aren't being bothersome (about 99.9% of the time) the jointer does a fine job of putting a finished edge on rough lumber. The 1.5 horsepower motor isn't bothered in the least by heavy hardwoods. Feed side adjustments take more muscle than I would like, but they allow for great precision, and I rarely change the settings. The thing I really don't like is the chip extraction design. Even with a strong air filtration system, the chips tend to bunch up rather than go down the chute as designed. They clog up, and than half the chips come out the top, and most of the rest drop inside the cabinet. This is something they really need to fix, since it interferes with smooth operation. On the whole, a good jointer, but not a great one. Only the really rich own jointers that are big enough and long enough, and the 37-275X offers a compromise thatr isn't too hard to digest.
