re: Planer questions from the new guy

Did a planer sled for a while, if you really want to buy rough cut get a jointer the time difference is significant not to mention ease of jointing. A planer by its self is good for smoothing pieces you cut from an already straight board, making things thinner or cleaning up a flat board. Other then making a small sled to joint things like glued up cutting boards I wouldn’t waste too much time trying to joint with it.
