Woodworking Without Jointer Or Planer at Sherry Fernandez blog

Woodworking Without Jointer Or Planer. A planer is used to smooth and level the flat surfaces of a board to a consistent thickness, while a jointer is used to create a square surface on the edge of a board. But decent jointers are big, expensive, and have high voltage requirements — making them the last tool many woodworkers buy. You eventually need to do both (make it flat and parallel) but there are ways to accomplish or work around one without the other. Straight edges can be done with a circular saw and a straight edge guide or a straight line rip jig on the table saw or a jointer hand. So, yes you can get away without having a jointer. There are a few key differences between a planer and jointer but both are needed to properly mill a wood board. Your grandad may have reached for a hand plane to flatten boards without a power jointer, but today there's an easier way. The hardwood store where i buy my project wood sells r1e s2s stock, so i went for years without either a jointer, nor a planer. The main difference between a jointer and a planer is that a jointer is used to flatten the uneven wood surface to remove warp, cupping, and twists. The jointer makes wood flat, and the planer makes wood parallel (and thinner).
