Looks like spring is here (at least down here it is). I'm looking into adding a few tools to the garage in order to dive into some different types of projects. I was hoping for some advice please.
I have done some research online and in stores in terms of features and pricing as such. However I have no experience with them. Only those who have experience with these tools would know what features should take priority or what they wish they would have gotten that their current tool does not have. I was hoping to get some tried and true experiences from you, please.
There is a limitation. I cannot afford any of the high end tools. More than likely I won't be purchasing a free standing $400 drill press or band saw (unless I get them cheap on Craigslist). However, I'm definitely interested in any information about them.
1. Router Table - I definitely want a dedicated router table. Via plans at this forum, I built a router table awhile back that slides between the rails of the 3100. It's good for what it is but if you have to make a table saw cut then it becomes a hassle.
2. Scroll Saw - I'd really like to get one to build some creative items.
3. Band Saw - It just seems like there are many times when a band saw would come in handy.
4. Drill Press - Same as above. Plus, I remember watching my Grandpa use his back in the day. I've always wanted one since then.
Thanks for any advice or information.
