Customer Reviews and Photos for: Jet JBM-5 Bench Mortising Machine

I have been using my JBM-5 for about a year now, and consider it a good investment for my home workshop.
It compares favorably with machines from Delta, ShopFox, etc. with one notable exception: the fence can be a pain to set. The fence is attached to a steel hex rod that is held in place by a thumb screw. There is no rack & pinion fence adjustment (like the one on Delta's latest mortiser), so getting the workpiece centered on the table is more trial & error than I am comfortable with.
The table is also pretty small (again, Delta's machine has a much larger table), so I am considering retrofitting it with the mortise table from Rockler.
