Re: Need some recommendations for tooling

10/10 would highly recommend that you buy an Evolution Power Tools RAGE3. Here is a link to the Amazon page but I am sure you can buy it elsewhere too.

https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Pow...=1&*entries*=0

We have used this saw to cut all of our 2x1,1x1, angle, and almost anything you can think of needed for frc except for sheet (we use a jigsaw). Last year we cut 90% of our robot out with the rage3, and were very, very happy with how it performed. We would not be able to function with out it. It is far cheaper than some of the nice horizontal bandsaws and it makes cuts that are very comparable to them as well. The cuts are very very smooth and will provide a surprisingly flat surface for when you are riveting things together which is important for good joints.
