Re: Tools to have?
For our team the most used tools we actually have in our shop are our vertical bandsaw and drill presses. Next for us is having access to a good quality mill and lathe which is essential when you get into fabricating drive trains and mechanisms. Our team has been lucky and been able to utilize sponsors equipment so we didn't need to buy our own. Other tools we have and often use are our arbor press, belt/disk sander, heat gun (for bending pvc and plastic), and chop saw.
In the category of tools that we have and don't use is a large harbor freight combination mill/lathe that we rarely use since it is just awkward to work with, instead we end up using our sponsors equipment.
