Jointers

Wood jointers for accurate straightening and edge preparation

A good wood jointer helps you produce straight faces, true edges and cleaner glue joints with less correction work later. On this page you can compare NOVA jointers for hobby use, school workshops and professional production, from compact 150 mm machines up to powerful 410 mm models.

How to choose the right jointer

The most important starting point is working width. Smaller machines such as 150 mm models suit lighter workshop use, smaller stock and jobs where compact size matters. A 200 mm jointer is often the practical all-round choice for general woodworking, while 410 mm machines are better suited to larger pieces, demanding workloads and production environments.

Power, cutterhead type and fence adjustment also affect daily use. Models in this range include machines around 750 W for lighter work as well as 1500 W and 3000 W options for heavier duty use. Fence tilt and a stable table setup help when preparing accurate edges for panels, frames and furniture parts.

Straight knives or helical cutterhead

If you want a familiar and cost-effective setup, straight-knife models are a solid choice. If quieter running, smoother cutting on difficult grain and easier insert maintenance matter more, a helical cutterhead can be the better option. The helical versions in this range are especially attractive for frequent use and demanding surface quality requirements.

Typical user needs by machine size

A compact machine like the NOVA WJ-150D is suitable when mobility, lighter weight and single-phase availability are important. For versatile workshop use, the WJ-200C size class is a popular step up in capacity. When you need a larger table, more power and up to 410 mm working width, the WJ-400C models are designed for more demanding professional work.

Accessories, replacement parts and workshop support

A jointer works best as part of a complete setup. Dust extraction improves cleanliness and visibility during work, and roller stands or roller tables help support longer timber. Replacement knives, helical inserts, drive belts and selected electrical spare parts are also available for many models, which helps reduce downtime and keeps the machine productive over time.

Sharpening support is also worth considering if you use straight knives regularly. For many workshops, it makes sense to plan the machine together with dust collection, knife maintenance and infeed/outfeed support from the start.

Stock, delivery and buying help

Most machines are generally kept in stock, while only a few top-tier professional models are sold on request. Please check the individual product page for current live stock status. Shipments are sent from Finland, and in-stock products are normally delivered in 2–4 business days depending on destination.
