What tools are you planning on buying this year?

[Michael Gibbons]

What I'm planning to buy and what I actually end up with might be two different things

I would like to get an Original Saw Co. Radial arm saw with new dado set to match bigger arbor.

A few more items from Lie- Nielsen.

A second complete router table set up with master lift.

A new cordless drill.

Misc accessories fro the shop.

I plan to upgrade my planer, I currently have a DeWalt 733 12" planer and I have my eye on a Powermatic 209HH 20" planer with the Byrd head. My jointer has the Byrd and I love it. Another thing everyone should think about is making sure they include a contribution to SMC as part of their tool budget. Please contribute in 2008.

The first item on the list is a Makita LS1013FL. I'm just about ready for it as soon as it goes on sale somewhere for the price point I'm aiming for. Then I'll be saving my spiff money for a cabinet saw. Hopefully toward the end of Dec. Will watch for a good used one, and if I can't find something, then I'll probably go the Griz 1023 route, just not sure which flavor. That will just about do it for the year for me, if I even get that far. Jim.

Which one did ya get?

[Jason Beam]

Maybe a cyclone dust collector - since i've increased my square footage significantly, I think i'll need a beefier DC and I might as well get a cyclone.

Also been pondering a Drum Sander (performax style) for the last few years. This may be the year for that purchase. Maybe.


But ... before any of that ... I will be buying a pool table!
