I've had my table saw a couple months now and it is great.
Now looking to add a second piece of equipment to the shop. Based on responses to my previous post, it seems
my next purchase should either be a planer, bandsaw, or jointer.
Of the three it seems to me a planer would make most sense?
Grizzly has the G1021Z 15" planer for $1632 + tax (most expensive of the three by the time you add freight, lift gate service, and a mobile base) and the G0453 15"planer for $1550 + tax (free freight and includes integrated mobile base). Rockler has the Jet JWP-160s 16" planer $1599 + tax + base ( an hour away so I can pick it up=no freight).
The other brands: laguna, PM, Rikon, etc are more than I want to spend.
Any thoughts on the above or recommendations on other options I should consider are welcomed.
Frankly, I am leaning toward the jet so I don't have to deal with Grizzly dumping the unit on the road at the end of my driveway about 60ish yards from the entrance to my shop or transferring from their truck to my truck.
For a newbie, are these overkill? I've seen good comments on the dewalt 735 also at about 1/3 of the price. Although, I'd rather spend more now once than save now but have to upgrade in a couple years.
Thanks in advance to all who respond.
