Expanding Current Wood working Equipment
Hi All,
I am looking to expand on my wood working capabilities by adding some new equipment to my shop. I am thinking along the lines of a reasonably good Bandsaw, and a Thicknesser or Jointer/Thicknesser combo and thought I would ask here, as too what others think or what you think may be a worthwhile addition and what models would you recommend ?
My current equipment consists of so far,
1. 2440 x 1220 3 Axis CnC 2.2Kw Spindle Router. (4th Axis Ready)
2. Carba-Tec Sliding Table Router.
3. Makita 10" Compound Mitre Saw.
3. Nova wood Lathe with bed extension.
4. Woodfast TS250RC 10" Table Saw.
5. Hafco Pedestal Drill Press
6. Carba-Tec 6"Belt and 9" Disc Sander
7. Many hand and power tools. (Although biscuit Jointer could be on the cards)
Looking forward to your comments,
Cheers
Tony.Last edited by Perfect Pens; 15th January 2012 at 08:25 PM. Reason: Add Saw

Re: Expanding Current Wood working Equipment
Jointer and thicknesser together, don't buy one or the other is my feeling.

Thanks Guys,
I ended up going down the path of individual machines for several reasons and as a personal preference. Due to me increasing my bandsaw size selection from the 17" to the 19" and my selection of the 15" Spiral Head Thicknesser instead of a normal 3 blade thicknesser I could not stretch the budget out to include the 8" Spiral Jointer, so I have placed that on the list as my next purchase
Machines are on order and should be with me early to mid Feb
Now!! what to make ?????
Thanks once again for your comments
Cheers
Tony.

Hammer is having a fabulous $4000.00 DISCOUNT sale on their sliders. That's four Gees off.
Their JP is second to none Don't buy a Chinese made JP they are all junk)
Agazzani has made their whole line of band saws heavier beefier and better.
I recently got the B-20 and am in pig heaven with it.
