Joint′er-plane.

（Coopering.) A plane five or six feet long, its lower end resting upon the ground, and its upper end supported upon a prop, the inclined sole being presented upward for the staves, which are jointed thereon.

The Hindoos and Chinese bore a hole through the front of a plane for a stick whereby a boy assists by pulling the plane across or along the work. When the plane is very large, the Chinese place it at an angle, resting one end on the ground, in the manner of our cooper's jointer.

1877.
