I'm having a bit of trouble thinking of a jointer as a power tool. I deliberately avoided using that term because I wanted to distinguish it as a stationary machine, as opposed to a portable power tool. This may be a regional semantics issue but I would not think of a tablesaw, jointer or lathe as a power tool. I would call these items woodworking machinery. Strictly speaking, if you apply the criteria specified under the power tool entry, then a jointer is a power tool. I don't know if there is a further criteria that a power tool is portable but it just doesn't seem right to me... SilentC 23:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- Found a page called woodworking machinery so I'll change it to that and update its list of machines.SilentC 23:49, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
