Get Better Results From Your Jointer

A jointer can only produce consistently flat, square timber when the machine itself is correctly set up. The relationship between the beds, cutter block and fence, together with correctly set blades, all influence the quality and accuracy of the finished surface saving hours of handwork.

In this course, Peter Sefton takes you through the process of setting up and maintaining a jointer correctly, helping you understand how each adjustment affects the timber you produce and how to keep your machine performing at its best.

Set Up and Maintain Your Jointer Correctly

Peter explains how to check and set the relationship between the jointer beds and cutter block before looking at the different cutting systems available, including traditional HSS knives, quick-change Cobalt knives and TCT spiral cutter blocks.

You'll learn how to recognise when blades are becoming blunt and how to sharpen them without removal, how to change and correctly set blades, understand the effect of feed speed on cutting quality and maintain the machine for reliable performance. Peter also explains the causes of common problems including snipe and taper cuts how correct machine setup can help you avoid them.
