The MiniMax FS 35 Jointer/Planer is an upgrade from my original 6 Inch Jet Jointer. The 35 stands for cm and that equals about 13 3/4 inches wide. This tool is used on all most all projects. If you don’t have a joiner I don’t see how you can work with twisted material. That is my biggest use for this tool, flattening wood before running though the planner. This joiner/planner has been a workhorse in the shop. I have a saw mill in town and have bought a ton of ruff sawn lumber form them. The MiniMax FS35 also has a Horizontal Mortiser that is very useful.
