I am literally asking 'for a friend'. He asks: "What is a good table top jointer? I do not want to go to Harbor Frieght". Thoughts?

I had one similar to this that I used for a few years. It worked fine for small stuff but basically convinced me to buy a larger machine. Al

I wouldn't recommend any. A 6" with straight knives. It can be up graded to a spiral latter.

The OP asked about a table top jointer, didn't say why. Possibly the OP s friend doesn't have room for a floor standing machine. If I were living in a Condo or some place with limited or no room for 'toys' I'd probably look at one of the Jet benchtop jointer/planers. Or maybe in a really restrictive situation develop proficiency with hand tools, they're far quieter. ▼

Hand tools may be a better option.

Never used it but the Wen stuff has been getting decent reviews. Bought the bench top drill press and can't complain.

The Cutech 8” spiral head jointer can be benchtop.

I expect that they are as loud as the portapotty planers with the universal motors.
