setting up shop

[Troy Burns]

Hello, My name is Troy Burns

 I live in Wv, i have the k4 Master system. and a few other Kreg tools. I have been out of woodworking for about 17 years,and now i'm trying to get back into it. I have lost track of which tools are good.

 I would like some help on the larger tools such as tablesaw, bandsaw ,and so on.

Any help will be great.

                                                                            Thx Troy

I like the craftsman contractor table saw.  The fence was close to plumb and square.  The best advise I can give you is read your owners manual and spend a little time on squaring up your saws.

 Hey fellow Appalachian American.  I from the southern part of the state.  I could not make it without my table saw.    Next would be my router.  I added a table to the extension on my saw as a router table.  I buy a lot of Ridgid tools at the local distribution warehouse.  They have a sale about every 3 months.  Their tools are not the best but are a good value.  It may be worth you time to drive down this way next month.  It's outside Greenville, SC.  Not a bad drive down 77 to 85.  I'm happy with my table saw, router, jig saw and ro sander.  Also a bandsaw and pin nailer.  They also sell Ryobi.  I'm planning on a jointer and planer next month.

Nothing replaces a table saw.  I purchased a contractors saw from Dewalt years ago.  It was midrange in price.  It does do an adequate job.  Everything revolves around the table saw in my shop.  I have all the major tools in a large hobby shop yet my midrange contractors saw is still center stage. Someday I will have I will have a cabinet saw.  But not until my contractors saw wears out.

I personally think a quality table saw is the heart and soul of many a' shop.  That would be a good investment, if you are willing sacrifice the room it takes.  Defiantly consider putting many larger tools on portable wheeled stands.
