Wood Jointers

Buy new and refurbished wood jointers online

By Octavia McFerrin
The variety of wood planers and wood jointers run the gamut and include the popular benchtop jointers, mainly used in small or craft projects, from trusted manufacturers like Rigid, Grizzly and Dewalt. Their purpose, as their name implies, is to smooth flat edges on rough cuts of wood so that the edges of woods can eventually be joined to construct furniture and other wood products. Wood jointers can help repair and recondition wood as well since any cut of wood can expand and contract given certain conditions.

Some wood workers prefer to use hand tools for shaping wood, but wood jointer machines can help you get the job done quickly and produce wood made to exact specifications.

Whether shopping for benchtop jointers or larger wood jointers that can handle bigger jobs, consider the following for the best information:

1. New jointers for a solid performance

2. Blades and other accessories for wood jointers

3. Refurbished jointers as an inexpensive option

Look at refurbished wood jointers for a cheaper option

New wood jointer machines can have a hefty price tag. If you're starting a new business and are trying to limit spending, consider purchasing a refurbished or used wood jointer. You can purchase them online but be sure to ask the seller about shipping -- the equipment is heavy and, unless you plan to pick up the jointer, shipping can cost as much as the machine itself.

  • If you're working with a particularly rough cut of wood, remove most of the rough or defective wood with a hand or circular saw. It will not only make for a more accurate cut with a wood jointer but will also reduce wear and tear on your blade.
