The kids are grown and I'm going to have time to get back into a little woodworking, looking to buy my first jointer. I'm leaning towards an 8" Grizzly right now but a 6" would fit in the shop easier. As I understand it I'd take my rough cut lumber and face joint it first, then put the newly flat face against the fence and joint one edge, then off to the table saw. If I bought a 6" jointer and had a board wider than 6 inches would I just joint on edge first and then rip it down? I'll be getting most of my lumber locally at Niagara Lumber and their boards average 5-7". I could try to hand pick boards that would fit on a 6" machine but don't want to have any regrets down the road.
