Re: Calling all benchtop warriors

Like everyone else who has posted here I have a small shop (approximately 10'x12' and must be shared with my wife's Saturn Sky). Everything must fold up and rest against a wall. I build doors, boxes and pens. The fold up Rigid contractor's saw with a Woodworker II blade is sufficient for most of my projects. The Jet table top lathe is a terrific machine for small projects. The Delta bench top drill press is as good as the floor model except on very large projects. The Delta 9" bandsaw is a very imprecise machine but is okay for my small projects.

The Delta bench top joiner is surprisingly good as is the low end bench top planer.

The Rigid bench top ocillaing sander was also a really good buy.

I have been really pleased with the bench top machines.
