Hello evryone,
So , as I look at what will hopefully soon be my shop area. I notice that its not that big (roughly 9x17), smaller than my old shop to be sure. Ok, I will be a little tight ,now I have a portable planer (22-580). never had a jointer, always got buy with handplanes ,power plane and planer. But I am thinking of getting a jointer, a combo unit to save space, I have considered looking into the hammer a3,and some of the other combos that are offered,But my concern is the switching back and forth between jointer and planer, does that tend to throw the tables out of alignment? would it hold up? Im only a hobbyist to be sure, but it was a concern.
To those who have these machines, what has been your experience?
I appreciate your help.
