What's wrong with a table saw for that job?
... I mean for the edge jointing.
Indeed. At least the table saw will cut the edges perpendicular to the surface. Is there a fence in that thing or are they counting on one edge to be true? Doesn't seem sane to me.
Edge jointing with a planer???? Does not guarantee a straight edge.
TS works well if you have a sled to mount the work on. Or a track saw works well also.
I don't have room for a table saw, a miter saw, a planer and a jointer. I do have room for a miter saw and one other machine.
I think I'll buy the T45 planer and get rid of my table saw. I can cross cut with my miter saw and plane with the T45. I ever need to rip a board, I'll just run it through on edge over and over again until it's the right width. ;-)
I wonder what I'll do with all that extra sawdust.
