A jointer is a handy machine to have in the woodworking shop to straighten the edge of lumber. The blades are very sharp and rotating rapidly, so good knowledge of the machine and proper precautions are important for safe use. The jointer is an essential tool for milling rough lumber and putting a flat edge, or face, on a board but its spinning cutterhead will chew up your fingers and palms if you ignore safety precautions.
