Re: Shop tools, any suggestions?
Russell, it depends on what you want the machine to do. If anything, the most useful (IMO) machine tool you can get other than a drill press and bandsaw probably is a lathe. Now, for a computer controlled one (CNC), depending on the size and quality, you're probably going to spend quite a bit more than a $1000.

Anyways, can anyone recommend a metal band saw? Vertical and/or horizontal.
