This may be blasphemy, but I think I have too many tools, or at least too many that I don't use often. I'm thinking of selling my HF Bandsaw, HF Drill Press, my BT3100 with a wide table and home built router setup and replacing those with a used ShopSmith. I was hoping someday to get my Dad's Mark V but that went to my nephew.
Until I picked up my festool track saw, I depended on my wide table BT3100 for breaking down large sheet goods and dados. Now it is pretty much only used for ripping small parts narrower than the track. This makes the limitation of the ShopSmith table size irrelevant. My drill press and bandsaw are rarely used and to be fair the ShopSmith bandsaw is superior as is the drill press.
Any thoughts? Comments? Concerns?
