Okay, I've spent a good two weeks of SMC research on the past few years of discussion, but I still would like to get some more opinions. I'm putting together a woodshop in my 3/4 of a 2.5 car garage. I spent about 3 months (part time) getting permit and approval for a 100A subpanel and LOTS of outlets / lighting consisting of 5 sep circuits. I've got a TS and am taking the plunge for DC.
I've been looking at used 8" jointers as well as debating a shaper purchase. Since I already have a full compliment of hand tools (plunge router) can I get by with just a shaper purchase? Vice building/buying a router table. I read in one of the 2005 posts that with a good shaper I can do some jointing? How is this possible (I can't visualize it)?
Eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later), I will have it all but I'd rather get some more quality pieces and wait then to get some mediocre products and have to upgrade in 2 years.
With that. . . ... the floodgates are open!
