I was wondering as a woodworker that does it mainly as a hobby or even as a serious hobby, is a planer even needed? In my case, I use rough saw wood I've collected and dried over the years from local mills. All hard woods. 95% is 4/4 and a little 6/4 and 8/4 mixed in. Wouldn't a good 8" jointer with long bed handle anything I might need. What would I be missing? I'm just thinking out loud before I make any purchases. Thanks, Sean
