Hello,
I have always tinkered around with wood and am starting my first piece of furniture (night stand found in Wood magazine).
I have recently picked up about 1600 feet of boards ranging 6~11 inches in width), about 1/2 were previously run through a poor planer (i.e. blades must have had some chips) and the other half are rough cut. I believe the wood is a mixture of cherry, maple, white and red oak.
My question is this: Should I spring for a DW735 ($557) or hold back and get a DW734 ($377)? Will planing be a normal part of wood working even after my rough cut wood has been initially planned?
