Hi! I would like to ask to hear some good talk on the uses of a 6" Jointer. I've searched many posts here and elsewhere about Jointers. And always those that can afford and have the space always say go bigger than 6". So I'd like to ask that those with positive input can point out the good things you can do with a 6" jointer, and say away from talk of going bigger.
I ask this because my search on 6" jointer input is frustrating when the posts all seem to go in the bigger is better direction. I'd don't have any jointer experience at all really but am thinking of adding one to my home garage shop. I've seen some good deals on used 6" jointer in the $300 +/-, which would be in my price range. And a more appropriate size for my garage.
What kind of things can you do with a 6" jointer? How would it improve cabinet making? I would like to get setup to do some remodeling of my small house. I want to redo all my kitchen cabinets, bathrooms, and built-ins, and some furniture. Currently I've accumulated these big tools. I have an older unisaw that I'm working on putting together and getting setup, a craftsman contractors saw that is for sale, a good 14" delta bandsaw, 15" drill press, 1200cfm 1 micron Delta dust collector, a Craftsman 10" CMS, bosch jig saw, etc.
Thanks!
