As some of you know, I recently built a new shop for hobby/leisure use.
I am ready to pull the trigger on a few new tool to replace older ones. Craigslist has come up empty for the last month with the lone exception of a very nice Jet 6" Jointer for $150.00 with two extra sets of new knives.
I would like opinions on the best bang for the buck on the following:
1. 12.5-13 inch planer
2. Drill press (floor type)
3. bandsaw (floor type)
Would also like to hear where you guys are purchasing equipment if not local.
I do not want to say that money is not an issue but it is not the deciding factor. I want tools that i can use in a hobby environment.
Many thanks for suggestions.
