Hi reikimaster

Just my 2 cents

Get the jointer 1st. most stock you buy will not be true or sq.

Once it's in your shop and out of the stack from the lumber yard/Big Box store,etc. it's not going to stay true very long.
It's always on the move...it was a tree and always will be..
Small boards make big boards, you can always make it flat and true with the jointer but that's not true with the planer...

If you can get a 8" one get it if not get a 6" floor model,most are all about the same select the brand name you like and then stick with it for most of your shop equipiment..
