Michael Dresdner's Answer: "In simple terms, a jointer is a motorized hand plane turned upside down. It does exactly what a hand plane does, except that you move the wood across it instead of moving it across the wood. A jointer creates a flat surface on wood, and yes, it can be used to correct bow and warp on one side of a board at a time. The Jointer Plane is for flattening of any very long timber surface or for jointing very long boards. Works also very well when used on a long shooting board. Feb 15,  · I have a Stanley jointer, and I use this for most work, but I believe a fore plane would work just as well. Unless you work with short lumber, I consider the fore plan to be the shortest practical plane for edge jointing. I'd certainly opt for a good hand plane over a jointer, you'll end up with a much more useful tool.

The No. 6 plane, sometimes referred to as a "fore" plane, shares characteristics with the Jack and Jointer planes. For those on limited budget I recommend purchasing a No. 6 for your Jack and Jointer needs and a No. /2 for your smoother needs. This combination will take care of 95% of your bench plane 5/5(3).
