   Jointability was owned by RBI Industires that went belly up a couple of years ago. Finding a manual could be tough but it's a pretty simple jig so I never really needed oneanyway. I bought a Jointablity at an auction last year and it works rather well. Just buy a big fat trim bit and you'll get smooth cuts from it.

   If you haven't already gotten a response to your inquiry about the joint-a-billi, I can help you out.  

   It is a poor mans version of a jointer.   The board clamps between the two surfaces, and with a flush cut bit in a router, a straight edge will be created.  I believe the base size of the router is critical- a porter cable will work fine.   If the unit has never been used, the router will have to be run down the edge an initial time to create a crisp edge on the unit.   From there-on, simply clamp the board where you want to create the straight edge and go at it.   Keep in mind that the limit is what you want to cut with your router.   You may have to make an initial table saw cut to get close.

   I picked mine up at a woodworking show in Chicago many years ago.  They were made in various sizes - mine is an 8 ft version.

   I am actually trying to sell mine now too.   I have too many tools that I don't use - and like most, not enough space.

   Good Luck

   Jason
