Why do i need a jointer?
Seriously........Why does one need a jointer??
I have made a beautiful desk, and other furniture that have stood up to over 20 years of my abuse. I always buy my rough lumber with one side cut straight, and I take it home to plane, and then rip on my "General" contractors table saw. I use old fashioned pipe clamps to hold my boards in place while gluing. When I take the boards to a local saw shop for sanding even,. they always comment on how straight and even they are ( and i don't use any type of biscuits or doweling). I will purchase a jointer if u can tell me what benefits there are in having one. I have wondered this for quite some years, and am hoping someone can help me. Thanks in advance. -- Roger J.
