What's next to buy?

Get a drill press, then the bandsaw. Your scrollsaw will handle most of
the light work that a band saw can do, but you WILL find yourself
wanting a bandsaw next. Keep an eye out for a deal on either and snap it
up if you get the chance.

I can hand cut most woods with a rip saw and curves with a coping saw, but I
can't drill truly square holes with a hand drill and sure as hell don't like
drilling any form of steel with one. Drill press was the FIRST workshop
tool I ever bought. That said only you know what your needs are...

As Ed said, if you have the space and cash get the 12. That said I did re
build a yaght galley with hand tools and a hand drill mounted press, I'd
have given eye teeth for a proper 9" - very difficult to use forstner bits
in a hand drill :-).

I agree with this concept 99.9%...the only knock on it is that often, if you
wait until the last minute, you end up having to buy less of a machine than
you otherwise would have since the ONLY DP/OSS/BS that is available now or
for the next 3 weeks is this Harbor Fright-type thing.

This can, obviously, be worked around by figuring out what you'll need
BEFORE actually making chips/dust, but how many of us haven't jumped into a
job just a teensy bit too quickly?

Mike

If you get a drill press, make sure you get one that has a spindle
travel of at LEAST 2.5", preferably longer. It may take time to find a
model you like with this underappreciated feature, and maybe cost a
little more, but IMHO, its worth it.

We've all been there. ;-) I once asked in a newsgroup what FAQ stood for.
<g>

FAQ = Frequently Asked Question.

-- Mark

Guess I've never had that trouble. Needs have dictated tool
selection.

I can not imagine being without my drill press. And my scroll saw
gets used just about every time I am in the shop.

How often do you use the hand drill, and cuss at it's built in
inaccuracy?

Does your table saw always make the cuts you need?

And my various stationary sanders earn theiri keep.

I'd look at a jointer and planar. You will need to have square/flat
stock to really move forward. Now, in saying that, if you prefer, and
a lot of us do, get yourself a couple of handplanes for these tasks.
Can be pretty long work in the flattening department but for squaring
an edge, a plane is pretty simple.

Big congrads on the router/table saw use for squaring boards. That is
how we learn. Recent tool book had Rigid DP, 15 inch as a good #2,
which was $100 USD less than #1. My BORG has that for $298.
Patience is more than a virtue.

Nobody knows but you and the projects you do, now and in the future.

IOW, let the projects you do dictate the tools to buy, when you need them.

I would prefer to get the bandsaw first and get by in the meantime with my
cordless drill, but that is just me.
I think eventually you will want both.

Frank

It depends, of course, on what you need to do. You can't resaw a
board with a drill press and you can't bore a square hole with a
bandsaw. You have to think about what you want to do that you
currently can't because you don't have the tools to do it with.

(That said, I can tell you the my DP gets used far more often than my
BS, and also far more often than I ever thought it would.)

Get over to Sears. They have 10% off on all Craftsman tools. At least you
get a tool from someone you can trust. I bought a couple this morning. You
really need good tools you do a good job.

You can also clamp a board on top of a piece of 12" wide plywood and let the
plywood ride along the fence. Then cut the glue line on the TS where the
board overhangs the opposite edge of the plywood.

Nope. get a 16 1/2 and then it will double as a poor man's (read: me)
mortiser, and even a drum sander, although that can mess up the
bearings. (Which is ANOTHER reason I just bought a Ryobi OSS) I like my
Delta floor model DP. Some guys think the chuck sucks, but I've had no
issues with it, and run out on my unit is under .002.

You'll most likely need to sell the 9 incher at a garage sale when you
realize the need for a "real" DP.

The preceding is merely my opinion. Don't substitute my judgment for
your own.

Yeah, I have been using my router and a stright bit to give me a stright

Get the 12". It is about $180 or so. You'll find many limitations with the
smaller unit, rarely with the 12".

I have the Delta but there are other brands that are good also.

A lot of people have them and claim they're just dandy, but every one I've
ever looked at has been incredibly crappy.

My first drill press was a 10" benchtop. It was very useful, but I found it
somewhat limiting. Two or three years later, I swapped for a 15" floor
model. If I had it all to do over again, I would have gone straight for
the floor model.

I rarely use more than a quarter of the table travel, but I very regularly
use more table travel than I had on the benchtop. It has a beefier chuck
that runs truer, and actually grips small bits better than the smaller
chuck did. A floor model can do everything a benchtop can do, but the
reverse just isn't true.

Nice cast!

(I still like my new Craftsman table saw, and I got 30% off. 10% plus an
additional 20%. I knew what I was buying. When it falls apart and the
accuracy goes all to hell in six months, you people can laugh at me and
point fingers, but I'm betting about $400 that's not really going to
happen. Time will tell.)

in all seriousness, I agree with the other posters that you should buy
what you need to do a project. That's worked pretty well for me, so
far. I bought an OSS the night I needed it, and boy am I glad I got it!
There's no bigger waste of money than spending your money on something

I agree with Edwin. Get at least a 12" swing. I got a bench top DP
with a 10" swing and it's the bare minimum I could live with. I
would've been nice if I had gotten one with a 12" swing at least.
