The
jointer plane (also known as the
try plane or
trying plane) is a type of hand plane used primarily to straighten the edges of boards in the operation known as
jointingJointing may refer to:* Edge jointing of a board to ensure that it is straight, square and smooth, usually prior to joining two or more boards together to create a wider board....
. A jointer plane may also be used to flatten the face of a board. Its long length is designed to 'ride over' the undulations of an uneven surface, skimming off the peaks, gradually creating a flat surface.
Jointer planes are typically long.
