Sure, a slot is a slot. What makes all the difference is how you cut it. The DeWalt DW931K Factory Reconditioned Plate Joiner is a great tool for woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and do-it-yourselfers alike who want to get it done right- the first time and every time. DeWalt was one of the pioneers in plate-joiner design, so you can rest easy knowing that they know what theyre doing here. This powerful slot-cutting tool features an impressive dual rack-and-pinion fence. The fence locks in place and keeps the joiners blade parallel to the fence to ensure smooth, accurate joints. It also has a fully adjustable tilt fence unlike anything else. The face plate tilts 0 to 90 degrees so you can work every angle without removing the fence.
