jointer
This term is primarily technical and is used within the specialized registers of woodworking, masonry, and construction. It refers to both the tools and the skilled laborers responsible for creating precise connections between materials. In a woodworking context, the machine jointer is distinct from a planer; while a planer makes a board uniform in thickness, a jointer ensures the edge is perfectly straight and square.
When referring to a person, the term describes a specific trade skill involving the finishing of joints. In masonry, the tool is often a handheld instrument used to create a neat, concave or convex profile in mortar joints, which is critical for both the aesthetic finish and the weather-proofing of a wall.
