I have been thinking about getting a few more tools and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on which is the right one to get in each category. I am a little limited on money, so $300 and below is what I am looking to spend for each. So, what are your opinions on what is the best band saw, biscuit joiner, and dove tail jig for under $300 each (although, I'd love to spend as little as possible, especially for the dovetail jig [no larger than 16"])?
Also, do you really think that a bench jointer is necessary (I don't want to spend the money on it)? I haven't really felt the need to get it at this point but am just getting into finer woodworking. I have a plainer and if I get the band saw, I feel like I could do almost everything that the jointer can do. The only thing I worry about is warped wood, which I have read that a jointer can help with.
Thanks!
