Before deciding what tools you need, think about what problems you want to solve.

Have a lot of shafts that need sizing or drilling, spacers needing to be cut to length, big holes drilled in small things, and such? Get a lathe.

Have robot mechanisms that are several pieces and a royal pain to cut? Maybe a mill.

But do you (like us) have materials all over the place, and find that you are buying things during Build that you later learn you already have? Get a cabinet of bin boxes.

Or tools that never seem to find their way home? Get some nice tool boxes, and make indexes so the tools have a definite home.

So, what problems does your team encounter during build? Whatever they are, buy your tools to address those, rather than buying a tool and then searching for problems it can solve.
