Im getting a grip on a jointer now, understanding the way it straightens a board, how the blades work, etc....
Im not going to bother going for a tabletop model simply because I have no more table space and Im going to have it mobile on its own base, so I might as well buy one that has its own, and purchase the dolly/mobile base.
Im going to rip out some floor to ceiling cabinets, around 6 feet worth, and push the jointer against the wall when not in use, so I have full use of the space.(to park the car)
Ive been reading alot, and seems like most woodworkers, not the pros, have 6-8 inch jointers in their shop.
How do you face joint a board that is more than 8 inches with that?
80% of the rough lumber I bought was 10 inches wide.
Is it worth the money for me to go out and buy a 12 inch jointer, quite a big jump I think.
I cant imagine my needs would be greater than anyone here, and that was one thing Im confused about.
Am I missing something?
