I went for BUZZER, but have been known to describe it as an upside down plane, THEN the light goes on... :p

Flat topped Buzzy Jointer/planer

Guinea pig bedding machine

It's called a jointer because it rips your fingers off down to the joints.

Old woodworking machines

It appears that Jointers have been around for a long time in America. Go to the link below and do a search for jointer or jointers.

This company made machinery both under their own name (sometimes abbreviated AM&T or AMT) and for Craftsman; Craftsman machines made by AMT have the model-number prefix of 149.

Trademark filing shows first use in 1928, and lists some woodworking machines in its product list: jointers, planers, shapers, routers, saws, lathes, drill presses, sanders, and dovetail cutters. Some of these machines may have been for metalworking only.

From an ad in an 1896 issue of "The Wood-Worker". The ad shows a jointer, perhaps a 12".

Not only that their winning which is unforgivable
We should never have exported the game to the underprivilaged states




The trouble with life is there's no background music.

Well then take it back

If it is a jointer then do we rename the electric planer as a hand held jointer to be used upside down
or was it a typo and should have been jointure meaning a joining union which is also an estate settled on a wife to be taken by her in lieu of dower
so if you split up does she get the jointer as a jointure

naaa she can have the electric plane :D

I always thought "buzzer" was the yankee term, it turns out it was just those bleedin mexicans mussin with all our wording and terms again :rolleyes: bleedin typical ain't it :D

Well Im calling mine "the square it up jigger"

A Stanley No 7 has been called a jointer for a long long time. When I was an apprentice the old shipwrights called the powered version an electric jointer or just a jointer because they used it for exactly the same purpose they used a No 7....if that makes sense:confused: ...The guy at Timbecon always calls it a buzzer;) but it just doesn't sound right!...Its a jointer...................well thats just my three bobs worth anyway:o .....and I need a new one right away:D .....is she online tonight??


Cheers
