Cranked (S-shaped) bend
|
|
|
 |
|
The S-shaped bend, otherwise described as the ‘crank’, is a key design feature of traditional jointers.
The bend helps the user to control the angle of approach and the amount of compression that is applied to the joint. |

End (radius) profile
|
|
|
 |
|
The end profile of the jointer determines the type of imprint that will be left in the mortar. It may also be referred to as a radius because of its curvature.
Jointers have consecutive size radii at either end of the tool. Their measurements are commonly stated on the mid-section of the tool. |

Tool mid-section
|
|
|
 |
|
The mid-section is where the tool should be gripped during use. It is also where inscribed measurements can be found, often in a central location. These measurements refer respectively to the size of the radius at either end. |
