Jointers

Jointers are woodworking tools used to create flat, straight surfaces on wood pieces. They help straighten edges, flatten faces, and ensure boards are even and smooth, which is essential for precise joinery and assembly. A typical jointer has a rotating cutter head with knives that remove thin shavings from the wood as it is pushed across the machine. The machine also has adjustable fences to guide the wood at the correct angle. By using a jointer, woodworkers can prepare boards for more detailed work, ensuring that joints fit properly and projects have a professional appearance.
