I'd go for a planer/thicknesser....

you'll need both in the end and if you scout round you'll (with time) find
one at the right price. I have a 12X4 PT and am now looking round for a
12X7 or 8. My workshop is small else I'd be looking for a 24X8

cheers

Hope those in the US can translate the terminology.
Question: If you could only have one of these machines which one would
you choose?

Regards Alan

I think it mostly has to do with a few factors. What kind of projects to
you like to build? What other machines do you have? How is the lumber
you typically buy sold?

I would not give either one up - however, if forced I'd ditch the jointer
and use a hand plane.
