| Adam |  JointersJanuary 31st, 2005 11:49 PM Although I haven't sold a lot of Jointers working at Sears, they are a fantasic furniture making tool. When you're glueing together a butcher block table or any joint that needs a virtually invissible glue line, the jointer is the tool to have. These are the tools the manufacturers of "smooth" cut saw blades would just as soon not have you know about. With a jointer you can rip a board with a coarse blade that will "get the job done" faster. And afterwords, you can produce a silky smooth edge that is perfectly square to the face of the board. The next dimension would be learning how to handle a hand plane. Those can create an even smoother edge, with no knife "ripples" from a rotary jointer head. But, for most people hand woodworking tools are more for collecting/displaying than actual use. Sigh.. |
