Default Buying a Jointer

You may want to consider sticking with what you have. I have had a small 6"
jointer for about 23 years and seldom use it. On more than one occasion I
have considered getting rid of it and not having a jointer at all. Last
year I straightened and flattened 200 BF of rough sawn 8' long Oak and none
of it went near the jointer. I used a sled with my planer to flatten the
boards on one side and an 8' sled on my TS to straighten one edge. More and
mare you find available S2S-ripped straight one edge lumber that is ready to
go straight to the TS or planer.


Leon, Is your jig like this:

Or a jig that rides along the TS fence and clamps to one side of the
board?
