Re: Tools you can't live without

A vertical Band saw (with metal cutting blades) and a drill press I find the most useful things to buy first. After that, Taps (and drill bits), hand drill, Calipers, Squares, safety glasses, a bench top vise if you don't already have one. Once you have all that, a lathe is very useful, there is a lot of stuff you can't do without one.

What tools do you already have?
