Hello!
A few years back I got into woodworking and needed a way to process rough lumber. At that point money was tight and chose to get the triton tpt125 thickness planer. It has served me well, but now that I am improving my skills I am looking to mill lumber faster and more precisely.
This brings me to upgrading. I have never used a proper jointer or combo machine.
If I upgrade, I would either go with a jointer like the bernardo sp-150
or a combo machine like bernardo ad-260 and sell the triton.
The jointer seems more sturdy and would save me 200 EUR. But there is the limited capacity.
The combo gives me more capacity, but costs time (need to sell the planer) and money.
The question here is, will the combo machine be as accurate as the jointer and will the thicknessing functionality be easy enough to use (I have chosen the model because it is easy to switch modes)? Could the people who have the experience with combo or the jointers chime in?
Thank you!
