If you want to buy a “forever” machine, the Grizzly G0634XP – 12” Planer/Jointer with Spiral Cutterhead should do you.
It’s a combo machine, 5hp, 220V, for just under $3000 including freight. Not effected by the tarriff so likely made in Taiwan but Grizzly is good about quality in their big machines. This is what I’d buy, personally.
