I have the opportunity to purchase a joint maker pro (1st edition) and am wondering if anyone has any experience with the saw? I can purchase it used for $600 and am wondering if this is a good price? Also, I noticed there is now a joint maker pro v2 – was something wrong with 1?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Look at all those cool cuts, amazing. BCT (Bridge City Tool) makes some
awesome products. Top shelf no doubt with a price to match.

1) no experience with the saw
2) 600.00 is a good price if you’re going to use the saw
3) don’t know about problems with the first model, I suspect they’re making improvements to the newer models.

BCT is really focused on customer service, if you email them with questions and concerns they will
reply. Or, you can call them up as well.
