can this be used as a jointer plane?

Of course yes, it's an excellent tool for everybody who knows about woodworking.

Hi,G.castaneda, I use mine for jointing the shoe is long enough for most of what I do. You might want to get a plane with a 22' shoe for the longer boards you may want to join. But for most pieces up to 24' to 32' above you may get better results from a longer shoe like a 22' to 24'. Look for a cheaper brand plane in longer shoes check Amazon. Hope this helps and may God bless.Sincerely,Joseph

I don't see why not, just shorter than a jointer so it may take a little more work.

The manual does describe adjustments you can make to set the jointer tables co-planer, but I have not tried it because the one I received was close enough for me. You can also adjust the planer table to be parallel to the cutter head. I believe you can download a PDF of the manual from the Jet web site, so you might want to look it over to see what is involved.

You probably could if you are handy at carpentry. The four corners are interlocking. At times they become unlatched and have to be reset. If you could fuse all the corners prior to stacking and reinforce the sides and ends I am sure it would be possible.

Yes. This is a great plane to get into the hobby with. I would recommend it highly.

If money were no object then I'd probably go for something more like a Lie-Nielsen dovetail saw (or something along those lines). But for the price this is probably as good as it gets. But I wouldn't say its "ideal" for joinery ...however I use mine for making dovetails and box joints ... and it does a good job.

If you had real level ground you possibly could use it outside, but the way the legs are made you could only use on level ground.

It might be possible but really was not designed for that. Mostly used by wood workers to sharpen planer blades.

Yes, it can.. Just fyi its built is not sturdy joint is of plastic and with little more pressure it will break... I would not recommend this any more...

I wouldn't. It doesn't seem sturdy enough, you may damage the blades inside. You should look into blenders!

Snapped together the material has some rigidity but it flexes easily at the joint. This would make using it on something other than a totally flat surface a little iffy. My main concern with your proposed setup would be how it would wear long term.

You should be able to. It's very light duty though, just keep that in mind whatever you plan to do with it.

I don't see why not, so long as you cut all your boards to the same scale. I did something similar with another shed I built.

Probably not - would be very difficult adjusting left, middle and right side of knives. Also the refernce bar is too small. It's great for fence and and blade/table alignment. For setting the blades on my jointers I use a One Way Multi gauge Amazon Sell for about $95 - it's the best for the job.

No, the motor (that you can see facing you in the above photo) is rigid. The other 3 sides could squash in, but it wouldn't save much space.

Hello. Well you can, but the thing is you will be flipping the plane frequently to build it up completely. So i recommend you attach the gear after you totally finish assembling and gluing.

No. You would need a shaper for that. Because of the enclosure and blade design on the planer, it will only run straight mouldings.

It looks like that would be possible. The base is plastic though so you would have to be careful when screwing it together.
