Re: Tools to have?
I'd recommend a saw such as the Rage Evolution over a horizontal bandsaw. A vertical bandsaw is nice to have though.
Do you have sufficient computers for programming and CAD? Cords and outlet strips?
Do you have a good solid workbench and vise?
Do you have storage? Shelving, container bins, and parts organizers?
Keyway and hex broaches are nice to have, as well as an arbor press.
A 7/8 and a 1 1/8 TCT hole cutter might be good, depending on what bearings you use, and what material you put them in.
I see a lathe as one of the first major investments to make.

In my opinion, if it can light a fire in your heart to burn with passion, and you can maintain that fine line between passionate and crazy; then go for it. Power to Passion. - RKElectricalman [more]
