Which would you buy first if you could only buy one. Either of these
would be in the $400 range not the high end pro models, at least not
yet. Thanks!


Planer

I have had a jointer longer than a planer and have seriously considered on
several occasions of getting rid of the jointer to make more room.
Currently my jointer is more convenient to use than either of my planers or
my TS and choose to use it as a last resort.
With a very simple jig you can rip straight an edge on a board and with a
little more complicated jig plane flat a board on a planer.
