June 17, 20196 yr Popular Post I don't even own a jointer but, that blade description makes me want one just so I could get those.

June 18, 20196 yr I have the Shopsmith joiner. It is a wonderful tool on woods. And, yes, I always use the guard. I can imagine what it would do to a hand.

June 20, 20196 yr Old jointers with square heads could swallow a hand but properly used worked fine. Given their ability to cause human damage the round ones came out with no more the 1/16" of the blade exposed. That does limit your cut but also saves you. i had a knotty peice of wood that actually trashed a jointer knife when then destroyed the wood and the infeed and out feed tables and the guard. Thankfully I heard it hit and my hands were ahead of the line of fire as they are supposed to be when feeding material. Thankfully the damage to the metal bits was neglible and some sand paper properly applied fixed the deformed metal. The blade however was toast. Or ordered a new set of knives and only use carbide tipped and now can swap out up to two blades if they get chipped.
June 20, 20196 yr I should note I have a DJ-20 8" jointer when correctly tuned has no snipe and in general is a joy to use.
