Re: The Right Tool for the Job
One thought on tool purchases is that you should buy the best you can afford. Maybe stretch yourself a bit and buy a bit above your budget. If you budget dictates cheap tools, buy cheap. At least you will be working with something. You may buy it twice, but waiting til you can afford something sometimes ends up with nothing at all, a missed opportunity. If you buy cheap power tools, be sure to get those planes and chisels because your jointery will need some fine tuning.
posted: 11:44 am on February 12thI bought a lot of old tools the needed to be rebuilt to be operable and that is a project in itself. You spend time rebuilding a tool and spending time that you could be doing woodwork. So if you don't love tool rebuilds, buy one that is working.
I also bought a radial arm saw and have yet to use it for the above mentioned reasons. I should probably sell that thing.
