I have learned so much from this group, and would like some opinions. Looking to upgrade one of my shop tools ($400 +/- budget).
Tools to replace:
Old Delta table saw. Very basic 10" benchtop model. No dust collection. Would still have to use it outside.
Small benchtop drill press. Short quill stroke. I use lathe to drill but would like to offset drill some blanks.
9" Skil bandsaw. Cuts blanks to length. Real struggle to get it/stay tuned for anything else.
I have shopped for each and am looking for which upgrade would be the most beneficial and some make/model suggestions in that price range. I do occasionally cut up barrel staves and stock for blanks. THANKS!
