Default Planer or jointer?

IMHO, if you can only have one, get a planer. If you have a table saw, it's
not that hard to do edge jointing on it with a bit of fixturing. Probably
90% of the work I do on my DJ-20 is edge jointing. If you're determined to
do so, you can even do some face jointing with the planer, again with enough
fixturing. OTOH, it's a lot harder to duplicate the results of a thickness
planer.



Yeah, what he said.
I have both, and since I do, I use both. But my jointer sees much less
use now that I have a good table saw with a good blade.
