Summary: Creating flat edges on wood.

    Jointers are crucial woodworking machinery designed to create flat, straight edges and square surfaces on lumber, preparing it for further processing. These machines utilize a rotating cutterhead with multiple blades to remove material from the wood's surface as it's passed over a flat table. Jointers are essential for creating perfectly straight edges for joining boards together, ensuring tight and seamless connections in projects like cabinet making and furniture construction. Unlike planers, which focus on achieving consistent thickness, jointers focus on creating flat surfaces and square edges. Modern jointers often incorporate adjustable fences, precise depth controls, and safety features to enhance accuracy and user safety. The ability to create perfectly straight and square edges makes jointers indispensable for any woodworking operation that requires precise joinery and high-quality finished products.
