I don't have room for a table saw, a miter saw, a planer and a jointer.
I do have room for a miter saw and one other machine.

I think I'll buy the T45 planer and get rid of my table saw. I can
cross cut with my miter saw and plane with the T45. I ever need to rip
a board, I'll just run it through on edge over and over again until it's
the right width. ;-)

I wonder what I'll do with all that extra sawdust.

and why not have the machine on the sides and the board flat. Seems as
it might twist...

Edge jointing with a planer???? Does not guarantee a straight edge.

TS works well if you have a sled to mount the work on. Or a track saw
works well also.

Indeed. At least the table saw will cut the edges perpendicular to
the surface. Is there a fence in that thing or are they counting on
one edge to be true? Doesn't seem sane to me.

What's wrong with a table saw for that job?
