 | Purchasing new woodworking tools. |
|
I am looking into purchasing new woodworking tools for my shop (shaper, table
saw, dust collectors, etc.). I need something industrial, but do not want to
break the bank. Salesman suggested going with Jet or Powermatic over Delta and
Grizzly. I know a little about the brands suggested, but would like more
information on those tools. People have told me the suggested tools are not as
good.(?)
---------------------
-I buy nothing but used industrial equipment, mostly Rockwell and Powermatic. There
are others like Newman, Oliver, etc. There is an almost unlimited supply of older
equipment in good condition on the market at reasonable prices. Look around. -Since your authors profile shows 1 article authored by you and you don't give
a real name I am reluctant to give you an answer other than to refer you to
deja news so you can do a power search on the info you want. I would suggest
you do it on the tools you mentioned and come back to the group when you have
a more specific question. http://search.dejanews.com/ -if you are looking fof industrial tools look into trade mags like cabinet maker
www.cabinetmag,com or modern woodworking but you will need 3 phase power
for most of these tools . look at some of the european brands such as Watkin or
SCMI
