Don't laugh, it's the best I could afford at the moment. I've not yet managed to produce an edge suitable for jointing but am continuing to practise.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
TIA

Jointing with a bench planer ? Are you turning the stock on edge to joint the edges or am I not understanding what you're saying....

Yes, edge planing to join two boards along the edges. This is a jointer if that makes sense.

Okay but your post did read bench planer.
We need to know a bit more about what kind of problem you're having. Could be a simple mechanical adjustment or a technique problem but most likely a combination.
Some easy points to cover without knowing what the problem is:
There's a whole host of things that could be the problem and many books written on this very topic but it's not brain surgery and the technique is easily learned. I had a url that did have an animated tutorial on how to joint and generalized tune-up procedures but it doesn't work anymore. Perhaps someone else has a newer link for you to look at.

I'm a bit puzzled why you're having trouble getting an edge suitable for jointing--it's not really all that hard. What specific problem are you seeing with the edges you're getting?
I had a goggle with Google and found a pic of the NuTool here:
There's another on eb*y at
Go down to jointers on
Use a hand plane. The money you wasted on that piece of junk would have bought you a nice #7.
That thing is just too short to joint an edge fit for gluing.
Ok, thanks for that, just what I needed - some tips on technique. I'll persevere and see what happens as I've not used one of these before.
Also noted is Andy's comment (further down) that the thing is too short to get an edge fit for gluing - anyone have any comments on that? If this is the case then I'll have to get a better one, since I only bought this on to practise the technique - Norm makes it look soooooooooo easy!
