Re: Calling all benchtop warriors

I used to have a

- Delta 8 1/4 Sidekick contractor saw. Fantastic saw.
but I outgrew it, and upgraded to a Rigid 3650 which is Super Fantastic. If I had the space I would have kept the Delta.

- Sears 11" 3 wheel bandsaw - traded up to a 14"
It lived on a board that it was bolted to, so it was easy to move it to various locations / even sawhorses outside

- Canadian Tire 36" Radial Arm Drill Press
This does everything that I think I might need.
While it is called "Bench top" it is heavy like a well fed pig, needs to be bolted down clamping just doesn't seem to do it.

- LeeValley steel Router table. It is ontop of a mobile stand I built, but hasn't needed to move for years.

I have not had the need for a planer as most of my bigger projects are ply or use wood of standard dimensions

Sanding machines are orbital or belt hand held machines.
