Since
Jointers are frequently referred to as Jointer/Planers, they're
one of the most misunderstood of all woodworking machines.
Here's the straight scoop.
What
you'll do with your new Shopsmith Jointer
Jointers are used to smooth and square board edges in preparation
for glue-up into wider panels...mostly for cabinet and furniture
projects. Thickness Planers, on the other had, are used to
bring boards to a precise, pre-determined thickness by shaving
their surfaces and making them parallel with one another.
So,
can you "thickness" on a Jointer? The answer is
yes - and - no. Although a Jointer will plane and smooth surfaces
(no wider than its Knives), since they offer no provisions
for keeping one surface of your stock parallel with the other,
true "thicknessing" isn't normally a job for the
Jointer.
How
big should a Jointer be? If its going to be used primarily
for planing the edges of boards (with only an occasional need
to surface narrow stock) - and since few people work with
stock thicker than 4" - why pay for capacities you don't
need!
Here
are a few other jobs your Shopsmith Jointer will handle quite
nicely:
Bevel
or Chamfer Edges - Create smooth, precisely beveled or
chamfered edges on boards for angled cabinetry; making decorative
interior or exterior columns; creating a bowl or vase glue-up
for lathe turning; or cooperage (barrel/container-making)
projects. No sanding required!
Eliminate
Cupping - Boards are often cupped or hollow on one side.
As long as they're no wider than 4", you can eliminate
this cupping with a few light Jointer passes. This will, of
course, change board thickness.
Square
Large Stock - Squaring large (thick) stock on a Table
Saw can often tax its capabilities...especially with resinous
woods. Use your Jointer to deliver a perfect 90° angle
on stock up to 4" thick every time. No sanding required!
Form
Precision Edge Rabbets & Tongues - (up to 3/8"
deep) - Form a perfect, 90° rabbet or tongue (for tongue-and-groove
joints) along the edge of a board with your Shopsmith Jointer.
No sanding required!
Tapering
- Just clamp a stop block to your Jointer's Fence and
you can cut perfect tapers for table legs, stair or deck posts
and more. No sanding required!
Create
Octagonal Columns or Posts - Just set the Jointer Fence
at 45° and make a series of passes to "pre-round"
square stock for Lathe-spindle turning... or to create perfect
octagonal columns or posts. No sanding required!
Loaded
with Work-Saving, Results-Enhancing Benefits and Accessories
As
with all Shopsmith Special Purpose Tools, your Jointer offers
a number of great features and accessories to help you make
everything you make - better.
MARK
V or Stand Mount
Every Shopsmith Special Purpose Tool offers you the option
of mounting and powering it with your Shopsmith MARK V - or
with its own, individual, motorized Stand. Here
is the Power Stand Information.
Safety Feather Guard
Special Guard is spring-loaded to exert continuous pressure
against the workpiece, forcing it against the Fence while
you make your cuts. To increase or decrease tension, just
loosen the Tension Adjustment Knob, move it along its adjustment
arc and tighten.
Simple knife leveling and clamping system
Your Shopsmith Jointer's individual Knife leveling screws
let you adjust each Knife end up-and-down individually to
compensate for variations created during sharpening. As a
result, you'll be able to sharpen your own Knives using our
special Planer/Jointer Knife
Sharpener, without the need for costly professional match-grinding.
Full Tilting Fence
The Fence on your Shopsmith Jointer tilts up to 45° left
or right and offers adjustable auto-stops at common angles
for rapid adjustment convenience.
Built-In Dust Collection Chute
Built-in 2-1/2" Dust Collection Chute helps you
capture the dust and debris before it gets into the shop environment.
