   You can go to the back issue area and press control F, which is the finder in windows.  Then just search for your term, i.e. joiner

   I have the PC, like a lot of the features that the other don't have, if I remember it was right at the top after the high end lamello.  One thing I had problems with on the PC is the two plastic pivots for the fence, take those off and you'll see that the half circle that acts as a guide is not solid (you'll see if you take that part off), on my joiner, the circle crushed when I used it, because by it not being solid it is too soft.  I replaced the part and filled the hollow portion with a pastic epoxy that is used for automotive use, that made the part 100 times stronger and solved the defect.  I don't know why those aren't either solid or made of aluminum.  Other than that I have had no problems.  Search for comments in this forum, I've seen mixed thought on the Dewalt.

   I have used the Porter Cable, Dewalt and a Freud. I have the Dewalt but would opt for the Porter Cable. Lamello is the top picks but over $400. Porter Cable is highly rated and works well.
