Jointing
The jointing is the connection of several planks of wood with a profile. The planks are permanently connected with glue.
The profile, which is done with a trimmer, increases the surface area of the adhesive seal, thus strengthening the articulation and the cohesion.
The profile can be done on the following surfaces:
- End grain of the plank (end)
- Along the fiber (side)
Jointing has numerous benefits:
- Production of larger beams
- Creation of homogeneous beams
- Cutting of faults within the wood
- Increase in efficiency
Method:
- Longitudinal cut
- Milling
- Gluing
- Pressing
- Cutting
