    I went for BUZZER, but have been known to describe it as an upside down plane, THEN the light goes on...
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    Flat topped Buzzy Jointer/planer
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

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

    Old woodworking machines

    http://www.owwm.com/


    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.


    http://www.owwm.com/MfgIndex/browse.asp?by=A

    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.


    http://www.owwm.com/MfgIndex/detail.asp?ID=1046

    From an ad in an 1896 issue of "The Wood-Worker". The ad shows a jointer, perhaps a 12".
    My advice is rarely any good, but is free to use at your own risk.

    We should never have exported the game to the underprivilaged states

    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

    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 .....and I need a new one right away .....is she online tonight??


    Cheers
