Wood planer jointer combo.

We prefer the smooth ground cast iron tables on the grizzly hammer and rikon 12 models to the ribbed cast iron tables shown below on the 12 jet and the milled. Combination machines have been the norm in europe for decades but they re becoming more popular stateside. The primary difference between jointer and planer tools is that a jointer shores up the edges on a piece of wood while a planer removes a portion of the thickness from that wood. It s a machine that converts from a jointer to a planer and it uses a single cutter head for both operations.

One of the biggest problem faced by hobbyists diyer s and even some professional woodworkers is a limited workshop or working space. Combination jointer planers have shorter beds than stand alone jointers so working with boards longer than 6 on the 12 machines and 4 on the 10 model can be cumbersome. A jointer planer combination machine is just that. And for good reason beyond just saving space.

Using a combo tool helps you create boards and sheets that are perfectly smooth as well as even and level.
