Beginner Woodworker Tries a Jointer for the First Time | Woodstarter 6” Benchtop Jointer Review

I’m a beginner woodworker, and this is my first time ever using a jointer! Woodstarter sent me their 6-inch benchtop jointer, and in this video, I walk through the unboxing, setup, and testing process from a total beginner’s perspective.

If you’ve never used a jointer before or you’re wondering if this tool is worth it for your garage or small workshop, this video is for you. I’ll cover what a jointer does, how to safely set it up, and share a few beginner mistakes and lessons I learned along the way.
