I have been looking at a few benchtop jointers and planers so I can use scrap wood. If I could, I would definitely go with 12" but no way to do that in my flat. LOL

I read that the Dewalts really go through the blades fast, as you were saying, Bob.

After learning about jointers and planers, I think they should be considered the first tools to have in your shop, rather than a band saw. This way you can use all kinds of wood that needs some TLC.
