I have an old emailed price list that can give a ballpark on price. I assume their pricing is in a similar category? List updated... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 845 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) And I might add, if I may, that there should be no stigma if your current tool falls into the lower budget items. Kev’s list shows the DeWalt planer in that category and I, as well as many others own this machine and love it. Edited March 27 by Coop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, when you actually consider planers, the Dewalt 735 is on the higher end of the lunchbox planers and a great machine but, it's not in the same price category as most of the larger floor standing models. Just for everyone's ease, the list is now moved to this page... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob 52 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I know this is primarily about the hardware, but I wonder if some sort of reference library should be added. Specific information would be too burdensome, maybe just subject matter and/or authors. etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely open to suggestions around creating and maintaining one in our reference section! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kev 1,667 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 I'm going to try and add one or 2 tools to the list each day and then update the list here for discussion. You guys are great at finding things that I missed or things that I goofed.. I only added Dust collection today. This one is a bit tricky because it covers everything from a shop vac to the big set ups! Anyway, pick it apart.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kev 1,667 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Updated list! I only did one item yesterday so, did 3 today. Edit: I don't like this smaller size! I'll need to do some work to make the information appear correctly.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coop 845 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Funny but true. Between the three of us, the puppy rules and that needs to be changed. All of my adult life, I’ve had labs and have trained them as pets and as retrievers. This damn Goldendoodle needs to be sent back to doggy heaven to be re-programmed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see it now, Coop will spend 4 hours 1 day training the dog, getting it to behave and in its place, he will sit down and have a beer, goes for a 2nd and in those 15 minutes, Coop’s wife will completely undo his hard work.? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing with a jointer. If you get a planet then you can make a sled that can cut straight lines to make your ends flat, like the jointer. Rather invest in a track saw first before buying a miter. One last bit of advice for any new woodworkers building their inventory - Pick your color options early when buying your battery powered tools. I’m in the process of converting Blue (Kobalt) to Red (Milwaukee) since I started out with the cheaper option and not doing my research more in depth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would argue the point on the jointer all day, I think it should almost be the first tool you need. The first stop in any furniture build with a piece of lumber would be over the jointer. Hard to do fine work with out of square lumber. Now that being said there are ways to get straight edges on boards without a jointer, and flat faces for that matter. Just take a ton of time and effort. Many ways to skin a cat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many ways to skin a cat I agree with this but, it is possible with just a planer. It is quite a bit more work but, it is possible. I too could argue my top 3 all day because flat and square is the most important part. However, I also realize that there's more than one way to get there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
