You're not the only person to make this claim. I'm the odd-ball. I use
my jointer all the time. If a board touches the table saw fence, I run
it through the jointer first.


The dust collector is the thing thats got me puzzled. Is it going to be
that helpful? Is there something more useful that I should get instead?

If the OP's worried about his health, I'd recommend an air-filter over
a dust collector. It's the small stuff that'll kill you, not the big
particles that collect on the floor. Plus, he probably already owns a
shop vac.

Thanks Jeff,
I never even thought of a Air filter! Dont know much about them, my
shop is 18 x 18 with a 12" ceiling, would an Airfilter get all of the
suspended dust?
