Great replacement plate joiner!
I had some difficulties with the plate joiner I had and this has been a wonderful replacement. Porter Cable builds excellent power and woodworking tools and the plate joiner some years ago was a godsend when I was building baby furniture for a number of my grandchildren. Two cribs, a black-walnut cradle, a highchair that unfolded down to a play station, a combination bed that started as a crib, changed to a toddler bed, and ultimately to a twin bed that one of my granddaughters uses to this day out of liptus wood, a Honduran substitute for mahogany at half the cost some 15 years ago. Between my Porter Cable plate joiner and my Fesstool Domino 500, I have many options for putting pieces of wood together. Many thanks to seller for an excellent buy with documentation. Kudos!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent Biscuit Joiner
Easy to use. Porter Cable has made very good tools for decades. I have their planer, router, belt sander and palm sander which are all excellent. The features on the PC 557 Biscuit joiner exceed most others. Woodcraft has a video comparing several models. I recommend watching and reading reviews before making a choice. Many folks complain that the dust collection system, (clip-on bag), size of the dust port are inadequate. I agree, this is a common issue with many but not all Biscuit Joiners. It's a great tool for the money and if you think you'll be using it for years you can't go wrong.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

PC 557 plate joiner
The fence is the most important part of a plate joiner. This tool will allow you to reference the inside or outside surface of your work. It allows you to quickly adjust for different sized biscuits, and also has a fine tuning adjustment for dialing in a precise depth of cut. The fence rides on 2 steel rails, so when you raise or lower it the fence can’t cant. I feel it is the best joiner out there. Paul PVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I have had this particular brand before so when this one became available at the listed price, I jumped on it.
I waited for this specific model biscuit jointer to become available. This one was of great value compared to other venders.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good deal, BUT
I thought is was a great deal until I realized that it did not include the 2" blade which is included in some kits. That blade runs about $45. do the mathVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
