Jointers

Welcome to the world of woodworking precision with our range of jointers, an essential tool for any serious woodworker. A jointer is more than just a machine; it's the first step in transforming rough, warped, or oversized lumber into beautifully flat and square pieces. Essential for any woodworking project, a jointer ensures that your wood is perfectly prepped and ready for further crafting.

Jointers come in various sizes, typically determined by the length of their knives. Most woodworkers find they need a jointer with at least 6 inches of width to handle a wide range of projects, and it might be useful to pair it with a planer, which will allow you to precisely control the thickness of your stock material. Our collection features jointers that not only meet this standard size but also offer options for larger, more demanding work, with 8 inch jointers, 12 inch jointers, and 16 inch jointers for sale. Each jointer in our selection is designed to provide the utmost precision, ensuring that every piece of lumber is flawlessly flattened and its edges squared.

Jointers FAQs

: Choosing between a jointer and a planer depends on your specific woodworking needs. A jointer is ideal for flattening one face of a board and squaring its edges, making it essential for ensuring a flat reference surface. A planer, on the other hand, is used to make the opposite face parallel and achieve uniform thickness. For best results in precision woodworking, having both tools is ideal as they complement each other's functions in preparing wood for fine projects.
: A jointer is a vital woodworking tool used primarily for flattening one face of a rough board and squaring its edges. This process creates a flat reference surface, essential for further precision work. Additionally, a jointer corrects warps and twists in wood, ensuring that each piece is perfectly flat and true. It's an indispensable tool for any woodworker aiming to prepare rough lumber for more detailed projects, such as furniture making or cabinetry.
: A planer cannot fully replace a jointer. While a planer is excellent for creating uniform thickness across a board, it doesn't flatten or square the initial face or edge like a jointer. If you start with a warped board, a planer will simply make a uniformly thick, but still warped, piece. For the best results in woodworking, using a jointer to create a flat reference surface first, then a planer for uniform thickness, is the ideal process.
: Benchtop jointers, while more affordable and space-saving, often don't provide the same level of performance and versatility as larger, floor-standing models. They typically have shorter beds, which can limit their ability to properly flatten longer boards, a crucial aspect in many woodworking projects. Additionally, benchtop models generally have less power and durability, affecting their ability to handle harder or thicker materials effectively. For serious woodworkers prioritizing quality and versatility, investing in a full-sized jointer is usually a better choice.

Understanding the Role of a Jointer

A jointer's primary function is to flatten the faces and square the edges of lumber. This is crucial in woodworking as it ensures that the wood is perfectly level and true, which is fundamental for precise joinery and high-quality finishes. Jointers are sized by the length of their knives, and a 6-inch jointer is often the starting point for many woodworkers. However, larger jointers provide greater versatility and capacity, allowing for handling wider and longer boards, which is a significant advantage in most workshops.

The Benefits of a High-Quality Jointer
