The house that we recently purchased came with a 2000 sq. ft. barn with another half as much area loft. I never had a barn before and thought it might be a good idea to take up woodworking as a hobby considering that I'm now retired. With that in mind I came across the following power tools to get started. I paid $400 for all four pieces. First of all, is this a good price? The only downside that I know about is the table saw has a 3 phase 5 hp motor which will either require conversion to single phase or replacing the motor. All the other tools have single phase motors. Secondly, and probably more difficult to answer is how do I set up the work area to make best use of the limited floor space? Any suggestions on how to get started in woodworking would be appreciated too.
Jet, JTAS-10-3 Table Saw (Looks almost new with shiny white paint)
Jet, 14" Band Saw with open stand
Delta 6" Belt/12" Disc Sander
Delta 6" Professional Jointer with base cabinet
All the tools look to be in great shape.
