Correct Answer
A. 8Explanation
To be cut on the jointer, a board must be 8 inches in length. This is because the jointer is a tool used to create a flat and straight surface on the face or edge of a board. It is typically used for boards that are too wide to be planed by a thickness planer. A board shorter than 8 inches may not be suitable for using the jointer effectively, as it may not provide enough surface area for the tool to work properly.Rate this question:
