Bought a joiner table

[grampahol]

I used to buy lumber that's rough cut on both edges and squared it up with the table saw, but I often would lose 2-3 inches, sometimes more trying to keep the edges straight up against the fence. Now I only lose just the rough edge and nothing more. That doesn't seem like much, but when you consider some of the lumber I buy costs $4-5 and sometimes more per board foot that few inches of lumber starts to add up pretty fast.  I had a piece of white oak that costs around $4.75 per board foot. It started out as a 6" board and ended up around 3" just trying to square up the edges. That's a lot of money ending up as sawdust..
If you're into woodworking especially with hardwoods a joiner is a great investment..The longer the better since short bed joiners don't do great with longer boards.. I might even add more extensions to the bed on the one I have to make it an 8 foot bed, but we'll see. My space is really limited.
