Once you have the planer you will want to buy rough sawn lumber that
will be close to an inch thick at 4/4. The extra thickness will allow
you to take out cup and twist in the boards after they adjust to the
humidity levels in your shop and end up at your desired 3/4 thickness.
It seems whenever I buy S4S 4/4 lumber it ends up closer to 1/2" thick
by the time I get it flat and square.

Thanks for the input! I do have a dust collector that I use with my
other equipment (thankfully).
So, the thickness planer will be able to remove as little as 1/16" to
get me to the 3/4" I would like?
