I need to buy a new plane for a few projects coming up.
I can only afford 1 decent one and not sure what to get, I need to joint wood as well as prepare the surface and prepare stock from rough to smooth.
I can't make up my mind what would be more suitable?
Is a 6 really more versatile than a 7, or should I just go for the 7 and use it for the tasks mentioned?
If it helps, I have a converted stanley 5 scrub, and a 4 1/2 smoother, just need something to help do joints and stock preperation.
