Which Comes First: Planer or Jointer?- Question of the Week
This week’s question comes from Doug. He writes:
Hi Marc. I only have the money to buy one tool at a time with months in between purchases. If you were going to choose between a planer and jointer, which one would come first?
And here was my reply:
“Hey Doug. Excellent question. If I had to pick, I would get the planer first. That way you can at least get your lumber pretty darn close to flat and parallel. Furthermore you can resize your lumber when necessary. These days, i would be lost without both the jointer AND the planer. So sad.”
But that’s just my opinion. I think Doug would be best served hearing everyone’s opinions about this question. So what would you find most useful on it’s own, the planer or the jointer?
