Hmmm...Got this new 15 in powermatic planer for 700$ off CL...Runs great...Was it a good deal??
Anyway, I have a dilemma that I need some insight into....I have seen lots of pics in magazines and books with the planer and jointer side by side. In my case that would mean that I need it in an island.
These pics are what I am going to be doing unless you guys can change my mind...I an outlet behind the jointer that is 220V and the garage is 30 x 40...I am trying to put my shop in a 20 x 30 space and leave the rest for storage and such. The problem is that I have to turn the planer backwards to get it reach the outlet on the wall. Can I change the cord out and make it about 3 feet longer without causing a problem?? If so, is it hard?
The problem with the way it is now is that I have the dust collection for the planer open to the shop and the jointer will behind. I am so indecisive and can use any suggestions.
Thanks In Advance,
John G
