What size jointer do you need?

6 to 12 inches of cutting width across all 8 jointers here, by each maker's published figure.

Each figure is the maker's own, cited on the jointer's page. Makers measure some figures in different ways, so read the maker's wording as well as the number, and check the manual for what your shop needs.

Jointers that come first on one figure

Each pick is the one of the 8 jointers here that comes first on a single figure its maker publishes. None is a judgement of quality; we have not tested these tools. Whether we earn a commission on a tool never decides a pick.
