So I convinced the wife that the price of woodworking tools will increase significantly over the next few years due to transportation and steel prices. Consequently, if I'm ever to outfit my shop, I should do it now. Believe it or not, she said OK. WooHoo! I've decided to purchase mostly Grizzly tools and I need help with the individual selections. I'm hoping to tap into the collective wisdom of this forum to get some recommendations. My budget is about $7,000 to buy the following items:
- Cabinet saw
- Planner
- Jointer
- Band Saw
- Sander
My current woodworking skills are "average" but I hope to buy tools that will still work well as my skills advance.
