Today only, as part of its Special Buy of the Day, Home Depot offers a selection of power tools up to $207 off. Shipping is free across the board. Our favorite discount is the RIDGID 6A Corded 6 1/8-inch Jointer/Planer for $599. Down $200 from its normal going rate, today’s rare discount marks a return to the all-time low that we’ve tracked only once before. RIDGID’s 6A jointer/planer comes with a 6 1/8-inch cutting head that tackles anything you feed through it. The large 45-inch top packs plenty of room on both sides of the cutting head for infeed and outfeed. There’s also a dual bevel fence that can stop at 45, 90, or 135 degrees for added versatility. If you’re wanting to start working with rough-sawn lumber, a jointer/planer like this is an absolute must in a workshop. Rated 4.6/5 stars. Head below for more.
While it won’t joint a board, you could instead opt for the CRAFTSMAN 13-inch benchtop planer. It’s available on Amazon for $349, which leaves an additional $250 in your pocket. If you still need a way to joint a board, we recommend picking up a set of MICROJIG’s ZEROPLAY Miter Bars for $28.50 as well as the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp Pro kit for $85. This will allow you to build a jointing sled for your table saw, and all-in will only cost $462.50, which is still around $137 below the full-on planer above, while adding more versatility to your workshop.
Don’t forget to swing by our DIY tools guide for other great ways to save on workshop essentials. However, one stand-out deal that we’ve found recently is the Bose SoundLink Color II Portable Bluetooth Speaker which is on sale for $99, saving you $30 from its normal going rate. Designed to withstand dust and debris, this is the perfect workshop companion that let’s you enjoy tunes while assembling your next project.
