So what tools are a must in the shop for anyone who is making furniture, cabinets, or "artsy" things?
I think free-standing power tools should include:
1- a table-saw 2 - a miter saw station 3 - a floor model drill press 4 - a floor model band saw (14" - 16" depth, if you can) 5 - a thickness planer (13" cut, if you can) 6 - a belt/disc sander combo 7 - a jointer 8 - an oscillating sander 9 - a dust collection system
I have prioritized them as to what I use most. The dust collection gets turned on when I think of it. Just too "old school", LOL
