Jointer

A jointer is a woodworking machine used to create flat, smooth surfaces on the edges or faces of wood pieces. It has a set of sharp rotating blades that shave off thin layers of wood as the plank is pushed through, ensuring one side or edge is perfectly straight and flat. This is essential for fitting pieces together accurately in furniture making or cabinetry. By making edges square and faces flat, a jointer helps woodworkers achieve precise joins and a professional finish in their projects.
