I would like to get opinions on whether I should buy a jointer table. I have been planning for a while now to pick up a jointer and I've had my eyes set on a 8"x72" jointer table from grizzly. Just something with a knife cutterhead instead of a helical head for now so it will be a bit cheaper. But I talked myself out of it a few times since I am able to somewhat work with the tools I currently own. I dont do much fine woodworking just yet since I just started with the hobby. I can get away with using not so perfect lumber with my projects so i normally go to the big box stores for my wood. But eventually I would like to get to more intricate work given more time to practice. My question is, should I still invest in the jointer table now? Or is it not worth it since I mainly use big box stores lumber? I generally buy pine, fur, maple and oak lumbers. I've also seen tabletop jointers which are a bit cheaper but I'm not sure how stable those jointers are especially when I'm using bigger and longer pieces.
Thanks for the advice!
