Re: Shop tools, any suggestions?

About the vertical bandsaw, we have one in our shop. From what I've seen, it seems as if it takes alot of skill to get the right cut. It is usyally fine for small cuts on stock material, but whenever I cut somthing over 3" theres always some descrepency, even if I sharpie in a line. Like sanddrag said, I would reccomend a horizontal bandsaw, the one we have is awesome, it takes almost no effort and makes clean cuts. As for other shop tools, we also have a little stationary vertical disc sander/belt sander, that thing is awesome for rounding off sharp things, frehanding curves, ect... Good luck!
