I'm considering a Yorkcraft 8" jointer that comes with a 2hp motor that
would draw 22 full load amps at 110 volts. However all I have to run
the jointer on is a 110v 20 amp circuit. I don't expect to use the
jointer frequently.

Am I out of luck?

If you don't run it frequently, you won't have to reset the breaker very
often. If you manage to get it running, it may go long enough to make a
pass on a short board.

BTW. 80% of the rating is considered a safe load,
