What Is a Jointer?
Before we get into jointer knives, we have to know what a
jointer does. A jointer is a machine used to produce flat edges on wooden boards. This is done before joining two or more pieces of wood together. When a woodworker purchases wood, it is almost never fully flat and straight. A jointer, along with other tools, is used to fix this problem. The wood is placed on the table and moved from one end to the other as blades, or jointer knives, cut the wood.
