What tools are you going to buy with the tax rebate?

[Joe Petersen]

Just remember...That rebate comes out of next years return. So buy whatever you would have bought then. I hope to buy s rifle with a piece. I just bought a used tablesaw so need to build stuff for it before I go buying anything new.

[Noah Vig]

Money is going towards shop wiring and service upgrade.

[Greg Hines, MD]

Don't know for sure. Probably a PC biscuit joiner.

Wish I got one, I pay every year

Wouldn't it make the most sense to buy American-made tools with that tax rebate? You can give your money to whomever you well please, but if a boost in the American economy is the general idea, it would make sense to give it to American companies who care enough to employ American workers. -Don't know, just a thought.

Think I am going to buy some attachments to my Shopsmith. Great American company in Dayton Ohio that is going through some hard times right now. A little on the expensive side but well worth it.

This is a rebate not a refund Jason. Depending on your income you should 600 for single 1200 for married.

[Dick Brown]

We are borrowing the $$$$ from China! Only makes sense to buy some tools from China!!!!

[JT Chrstianson]

Locally sourced vintage PM66 (my first and maybe last) with a 50" fence and 240V to the garage.

I have been looking at the Jet 1642 for about a year now. Around last Aug. I was getting ready to pull the trigger and my wife talked me into adding the money with some of our savings to put siding on our house, so I did. She says since I was so "nice" last fall I 'm going to get my new lathe! Isn't she great, LOL.

This is a advancement on your refund for the following tax year. So your next refund at tax time will be less.

[Al Willits]

Well, everytime the Feds give us money back, the state yahoo's raise the taxes here, but I'm gonna pretend they'd do it anyway and prob spend the money on wood for the kitchen cabinets, least that's what I'm planning, not sure what will really happen as Beasty hasn't made up my mind yet.

I have most of the power tools I need for awhile and I get shop supplies as I need them or they come on sale, the tree falling on the wife's car/house/truck didn't help the check book any, so I have the feeling we'll use the money for house stuff or maybe the fall fishing vacation we're planning on.

Steve,

Up here in New Hampshire, Woodcraft and Rockler are both 10% off on Jet Power tools including the 16-32 Sander. Guess where I'm going this weekend?

[Jim Broestler]

Probably an air compressor and a Grex pin nailer. And a cordless drill.

That's great! Everyone should pay a little bit come tax time. Refunds just mean you are giving Uncle Sam a free loan for the year.

If you're careful and plan well, you ought to owe just a little bit each year and then you're getting the free loan.

I strive to pay $500 or under come April and I'm usually pretty close.
