[Woodcarver] Planers and Jointers

[Jean Athey]

Hi all,
I hate to throw a 3-part question at you all at once,
but I'm buying three new tools and I could use your
input. Maybe, so as not to overwhelm the List, you
could send any recommendations (or warnings)directly
to me?

I'm shopping for a floor model jointer and, due to
space restrictions, a portable planer and a portable
table saw. The three machines that have been
recommended to me are:
Thickness Planers:
 Grizzly's G0505 12-1/2" planer, or Dewalt's DW735 13"
model (with mobile stand and outfeed table optional)

Portable 10" Table Saw: 
DeWalt's DW744S (with stand)

Jointer
Grizzly's G1182Z, 6" 

If any of you have pros or cons to say about these
machines, or any other words of wisdom, please drop me
a line. I'll be using the planer and jointer in
preparing hardwoods for laminated carving blocks and
the table saw just because I don't have one for
ripping, etc., but have no space to buy a large table
model.

Something to ponder while enjoying your holiday
weekend. And yes, ladies, my husband is a power
carver's saint!
Thanks,
Jean
