A jointer is used for straightening the narrow sides of wooden boards which is necessary for panel glue-ups and some kinds of joinery. It basically consists of a flat surface with a slightly protruding cutting drum at the center.
We chose to get a combination jointer/planer to save valuable space: thanks to the second flat surface under this cutting drum, you can also thickness boards with this machine!

Alternatives
- jointing can also be achieved with a plane (ideally a long-bodied jointer plane) or a special jig for the table saw
- instead of a thickness planer, you can use bench planes or a handheld planer
