So I am looking at getting either 6 or 8" jointer--most likely a PM. This will be my first jointer and I am unfamiliar with how much in feed and out feed space I should allow for the tool in my shop (I am trying to decide where I would put it).
For those of you that have a similar length unit, how much space do you allow at either end of the tool.? To put the question a different way, what length of board can you run on a jointer with a 66" bed length and still get good results?
