Well, building a cabinet for my water softening system has endeared my wife to let me get a piece of heavy equipment. I know a tablesaw is important, and I have my dad's old 8" craftsman, plus I can cut pretty straight with a circular saw(or some jig if needed). I also have a hitachi 12" for crosscuts..Now I was looking at getting the dewalt jt360. But now I am thinking that maybe a thicknessing planer would be better. Some of the project I plan on tackling in the near future include:
Blanket Chests for my daughters. Shop Cabinets(plywood or PB Melamine) Face Framed Office Hutch Book Cases for the office
etc.
Most of the hardwood is coming 4/4 to 5/4 from a local dealer(not a big box homecenter) so even though its s2 its not s2 like you get at lowes or homedepot. So what should I be looking at?
I have a Ryobi router and table, Hitachi miter saw, old craftsman table saw, and a circular saw. I was really focusing on the jointer before I got the OK, but now I am unsure which is the more effective route.
