20-600H vs 6559

RIKON Power Tools 20-600H vs WEN Products 6559. Of the 5 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 3 are worded too differently to set side by side: cutting depth per pass, table size and fence. Both are jointers with the same cutting width: cutting width 6" on the 20-600H, 6-Inch on the 6559, in their makers' figures.

Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Cutting depth per pass: 20-600H: 1/8". 6559: 0 to 1/8 of an inch.
  • Table size: 20-600H: 30" x 6-1/8". 6559: 6-1/4 x 28-1/2 inch.
  • Fence: 20-600H: 19-3/4" x 4-3/8". 6559: 20-3/4 x 4-1/2 inch fence bevels up to 45 degrees in either direction.

Cited for one of the pair: only RIKON Power Tools' cited pages give motor, knives or inserts, speed, noise level, dimensions and weight; only WEN Products' cited pages give current, cutterhead, included and warranty. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the 20-600H and 6559 match there.
