Christopher D. replied:
I'm not a fan of Harbor freight, BUT I do use them. Their belt/disc sander will last about 2 years with regular use. Don't even think of getting a harbor freight drill, they last no time. Highland Woodworking has some great stuff, ask for their catalog. That is where I got my band saw. Here is a link. http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/rikon10 bandsaw.aspx

Estate sales are the best watch for one's that advertise tools go to estatesales.net for sales nearby and pics of what's there
John K. replied:
http://kcwoodturners.org Its turning versus straight woodworking but if you go to some meetings you can find guys you respect. And depending on the things you plan to make you are going to want to spend more on certain tools to help you be productive. Getting some feedback from guys like these can help you make choices about what to buy.

Kaleb Schmidt is right it takes work you got to look everyday ...i went into a 2 pawn shop everyday after work. Cheap good tools arent easy to find but you can some great deals if you keep looking

Robert C. asked:
Anyone have one of these Shop Fox 9" band saws? Are they any good?
IraShannon V. replied:
You need to check and see if Grizzly has one like it. If they do then you can use the same parts if you end up needing any. Grizzly and Shop Fox are made at the same factory just different names put on them. I have a Shop Fox shaper and I always order Grizzly parts if I need any for it.
