Hi all i am looking for a little advise on my next tool purchase. I have a few ideas in mind and I am hoping to get some opinions on here from all the experience that you have. First of all I build everything from Maloof rockers to dressers and in the future kitchen cabinets. I have a small narrow shop now but will be moving in the next year or so so do not want to buy something small because where i am situated now. I am starting to gain experience and plan to buy tools now that will last me till I cannot woodwork anymore.
I am primarily thinking of either replacing my tablesaw (pics below) or adding to it ie new fence better fence (any ideas) , router table wing etc. I was looking at the grizzly G0690 with the router table attachment or something along those lines. I would look at a General or something different but here in Canada tools are pretty experience and believe it or not it is more cost effective to ship a grizzly to my place.
If i did just an upgrade i was thinking also of either upgrading my dust collection to a decent model with good cfm, i have a 1.5 hp craftsman now and it doesnt work so well. I was also thinking of selling m 6 inch general jointer and upgrading to 8 also probably a grizzly. There is a lathe in the mox there as well but not really a priority as i think i will get more out of one of the above.
thanks for your time in advance,
Bill
