A jointer is a large, upside down power plane. Instead of moving it along the board, you move the board over the jointer. This is a small home model: large industrial jointers have tables that extend 10-12 feet (3m) on both sides, allowing them to take completely irregular boards and straighten one edge in just a few passes. Jointers are used only on the narrow edge of a board.
