I have a makita power planer that I could use in a pinch BUT its not my favourite.
Im really enjoying this tool right now just with what it has regardless of the extras, but the more I look the more I realize that these accessories do not come around that often.
Bottom line, I would like to build some entertainment units with some really nice details.
A jointer is a
must!;)

JPG is right. If I had to set an order in which to acquire SPTs, it would be:
1. bandsaw
2. jointer
3. belt sander
4. another SS!!!
5. repeat hahaha
But, seriously, you need a jointer and you'll use the heck out of the belt sander.

If you can afford the $200 and they are in reasonably good condition I would not let this deal go. I never had a jointer I do now and wonder how I made due without one. It is an essential piece of shop machinery needed for milling lumber prior to making parts. It is a bit small but it works flawlessly once dialed in. I do not have the strip sander or belt sander but sure wish i did I do have a cheap dual belt/disc sander that really wasn't worth the price paid which wasn't much. Go check them out and if good buy em' and never look back.

Guys, If I had the room( I only have a 20x 10 shop) and my Fiancee would let me use some of the wedding cash I would definitely buy more SS stuff.
Since I dont see these coming up for sale around my neck of the woods that often I might just splurge. Sell some of my other tools that I dont plan on using anymore....
thanks for setting me straight!!
