i like the handsaw alot more than the table. Alot easier to use and perfect cuts every time

If anything, the table saw should be easier and give you more accurate cuts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

^^^^ditto that. Unless you messed up the setup on the tablesaw and the blade isn't square...

The router by far gets the most use. Cutting speaker holes, making trim panels, rounding panel edges. I could work without it, but the quality of the results simply wouldn't be the same.

The most convenient thing I have for speeding up tedious jobs is a combination drill with countersink that quickchanges with a phillips bit all in one unit. Drill the holes with the proper countersink and drive the screws all without touching the chuck or finding the right bit.

Table saw takes the cake for me. I used to use a circular saw and guide but the panels were always off by like a 1/16 and that pissed me off. It is also a pain in the *** not having any tables to work on. I want to buy a table saw but it will have to wait until I'm done with school.

Really?? Whats your secret??

I hated my RotoZip. Even with the "perfect circle" maker that didn't work worth a flying shit. I gave it to my dad. I can get it back if you can explain how you got it to work for you. I usually just use a jigsaw.
