I did some rearranging of the shop today to make room for my next and hopefully last big tool purchases for a while. I'm gonna start hunting for a jointer and planer. The market for used jointers is very healthy in my area, powermatics, jets, deltas..etc are all available for less than $250.
I was looking for a enclosed base 6" jointer but is there any real advantage over an open base? I was also wondering if there was any model of planer that will run off of 110v that is not a lunchbox style planer? There are a few planers around me but all are either lunch boxes or 30" 3 phase monsters. Keep in mind everything I buy is used. So it's needs to be something I can look for on the used market.
