[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1556282, member: 560358"] It's that time to refinance and spend money I don't have to revitalize the garage with new toolz. I spend many years just collecting what meager tools I have to do the job, ie [B]Old Toolz [/B] My 20 year old Ohio Forge 10" table saw was rusty and I almost threw it away 5+ years ago. Being cheap, I refinished it. I threw away the broken legs, sanded the surface, planarized the top the best I can, bought a $300 Vega 'long stroke' fence, built a cabinet out of plywood with dust collection chambers, installed six heavy duty casters and built a router table on it with it's own slide on fence for dust collection... whew! ... Not pretty but very functional now. I made a custom sled, snagged an Incra miter, all is good. Analyzing the situation, I think I need a bigger sled that spans both sides of the saw. Then came the need for a router, I snagged a Porter Cable 3 horse fixed router and proceeded to collect about $1000 worth of Whiteside router bits. My jigsaw was a five finger discount from work, 20 years ago. An ancient Makita, still works but a newer one would be nice. Black and Decker drill. Ancient piece that needs replacement. Dust collection? A DIY seperator/filter with shop vac, works nice but not a real dust collection system with 6" piping. Air compressor? A few years back I finally dished out some cash to snag a Sears 60 gallon. I made a station for it with esoteric filtering. I got two free-bee desiccant dryer canisters found on some obsolete equipment at work, I made the fittings and installed this. my filters scheme is funny to remove water from the airline; 60 gallon tank output -> 50 foot coiled hose -> SpeedAire course air filter -> SpeedAire fine filter -> regulator -> 'toilet paper filter' -> desiccant canister #1 -> desiccant canister #2 -> valve -> output The coiled hose is a 'poor mans' intercooler as you can place the coiled hose in ice water in the hot summer day. Or, get a secondary tank as intercooler. Many ideas. Last year I snagged a tall Jet drill press, woo hoo, how can you live without one? [B]New Toolz[/B] {not cordless} I want new toolz........ Tentative plan is; Dewalt DW718 12' sliding compound miter saw.
