The Crescent Jointers 8, 12, 18 and 24-Inch

A JOINTER is sometimes also called a hand-planer, or a buzz-planer. The machine is used for straightening lumber. It will plane one surface straight and out-of-wind; by use of the fence it will also bring one surface, on dimension stock, square with another, or on accurate bevel with another. It is not intended for surfacing boards to uniform thickness. For such use a regular planer or surfacer must be used. By use of special cutters a jointer is often used for beading, grooving, making light molding and other similar work.

The Frame of the Crescent Jointer has a large floor-base, is well braced and ribbed, and being cast all in one piece (including bearings), insures rigidity and durability. Bolted frames are not good enough. The frame is provided with a chute to deliver the shavings to back end of machine.

The Bearings are an important part of a machine and are made with special care. The lower part is cast solid with the frame, insuring permanent alignment. A cover is cast over the end to prevent oil from getting on operator's clothes. They are filled with best grade of high-speed babbitt. They are provided with liners, to adjust for wear; also with large oil-chamber and capillary felt, making them practically self-oiling.

The Inclines on which the tables rest are carefully made and provided with an adjustable clip to take up all wear, and always hold the table firm. These inclines are bolted to a sliding sash-like casting, which is dove-tailed and gibbed into main frame and allows the tallies to be horizontally withdrawn away from head without in the least disturbing their adjustment. This is convenient when wishing to sharpen or change the cutters or knives. The handwheels on side of frame holds tables firmly when in their proper position.

The Tables have wide flanges and are heavily ribbed, the rear table being arranged for rabbeting. Regularly the lips are formed solid with the table casting, but the steel-lips can also be furnished at a slight advance in price over the regular.
