<p><font size="2"><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">As Robert pointed out, the jointer will dress up the "face", (the horizontal plane) of a board , but only a board width up to it’s capacity, and it will also dress the "edge" ( the vertical plane, if you will) of any width of board that can be kept perfectly perpendicular to the cutter blades as it is passed through. What must be taken into consideration here, is that passing a work piece through either of these machines should remove the irregularities in the surface but does not necessarily mean that the piece is “true”. A “true” or “straight” piece is for it to be equal in width and thickness, and to not be bowed or twisted.</span></font></p>

<p>o ok i understand the difference now. thanks a lot kenny. </p>

<p>one more question though. so i know a planer cuts the wood on a horizontal plane and from the pictures i have seen of a jointer it looks as though to cut the wood on a vertical plane. is this correct?<br></br> <br></br> <cite>kenny from Sundre said:…</cite></p>
