The jointer plane, also known as the try plane or trying plane, is a type of hand plane used in woodworking to straighten the edges of boards in the process known as jointing, and to flatten the faces of larger boards. Its long length is designed to 'ride over' the undulations of an uneven surface, skimming off the peaks, gradually creating a flatter surface. In thicknessing or preparing rough stock, the jointer plane is usually preceded by the fore plane or jack plane and followed by the smoothing plane. Would the edge jointing go smooth across the grain, which is the resulting strips after the second set of cuts, like the ones in the below pic? I used to do the same with the hand plane and didn't have issues there. Would you use a jointer on end grain? Edit I meant a jointer like the one in the following photo: jointer. Share. Improve this question. Follow. edited Feb 10 '19 at The jointer plane is used primarily to straighten the edges of boards. A jointer plane is also be used to flatten the face of a board. Its long length is designed to ride over the peaks and valleys of an uneven surface, skimming off the peaks, gradually creating a flat surface.  The Jointer Plane End Grain Group no. 6 (Fore Plane) and no. 7 (Jointer Plane) are the classic British and N. American planes for removing unevenness and roughness before the jack plane or smooth plane is brought into play. 1. 2. 3. JUUMA Fore Plane no. 6 (Small Jointer). The plane's body is made of stress-relieved gray cast iron. The frog is made of brass.
Figure 1: Plane components. 1 Bevel-Up Planes U.S. Pat. No. 7,, Veritas® bevel-up planes are versatile, easy to use woodworking planes. The bevel-up confi guration lets you vary the cutting angle as needed by altering the blade bevel angle. A low cutting angle of 37° (12° bed with 25° blade) minimizes fi ber tearing in end grain. Jun 22,  · When jointing end grain, it’s best to take a light cut–no more than about 1⁄32". Basic edge-jointing. With your hand forward of the guard, splay your fingers to apply pressure against the fence at both its top and bottom edges. Just as a longer hand plane shoots an edge better, a longer jointer is better suited to handling long boards. However, you will still likely get some blowout on the back end of the piece (the last part to be fed through the jointer). This is because the jointer knives will want to spilt the cross grain off the corner. This can be alleviated by chamfering that corner before planing. Would you use a jointer on end grain.
