Only a few posts on here, but I have an opinion question.
I only a few projects under my belt, but a few lined up. Since I don't own a planer and am just starting out, I've limited myself to working with dimensioned lumber from big box stores.
Here's the question: I've found a good deal on a 12.5" dewalt planer (~300, new). Do you think I would be better off to just pay for surfacing and ripping of the woods I want to work with, or bite the bullet for the planer? I also figure for that price I could resell it if I ended up not using it.
Looking for opinions,
Brad
