I have alot of tools...besides BT and installed router, plunge router, radial arm saw, band saw, scroll saw, compound mitre saw, drill press...most of which I got from my dad..pretty much all of which I use...except scroll saw. Mostly I just make cabinets of of ply for my shop or garage and I bought some S3S red oak for face frames and such, but wasnt too worried about everything being perfect.
Then, I bought 100 bd ft of white oak for a project it is was S3S by the lumber yard. I also got 20bd ft of hickory which is unfinished (argh..)
When I joined the boards to make wider panels, they came ok but not perfect.
I can think of alot of reason not to buy more tools; the first 2 being money and space. I have been researching these tools and if I was going to buy something I would probably get the Mikita planer ($400 Amazon) and the Rigid Jointer since I can pick it up at HD (and I havent read anything bad about it).
On the other hand, if I want to work with more hardwoods - which I do - seems these tools are indespensible. Am I right about that?
Thanks for your opinions....
