 | Forrest WW10407125 Woodworker II 10-Inch 40 Tooth ATB .125 Kerf Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor
Buy new: $95.97 / Used from: $85.99 Why a table saw blade first on the list? Because you'll use it on every project. This is the blade currently in my Grizzly. It cuts any wood without complaint..
|
 | JessEm 07500 MAST-R-SLIDE Sliding Table Saw Attachment
Buy new: $529.99 If you have a cabinet saw and you want a sliding table - but you don't have the money and/or space for a full sized slider, this is a great compromise. VERY well engineered and easy to install.
|
 | Powermatic 1791279K Model 54A 6-Inch 1-Horsepower Jointer, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase
Wow. This is a highly rated machine and precisely as advertised. Now I can get REALLY flat and true stock. I milled scores of board feet (with this and the DW735) with extraordinary results.
|
 | Kreg KMS7200 Bandsaw Fence
Buy new: $107.95 Now on my grizzly bandsaw. I upgraded the fence (the blue piece in the picture) by replacing it with the Kreg 24" Heavy Duty Trak (KMS7702). It looks like it was made for the saw now.
|
 | DELTA 36-255L 12-Inch TwinLaser Miter Saw
Amazing machine. Accurate and quick due to lasers. I hardly use my table saw for crosscuts any more.
|
 | DEWALT DW735 15 Amp 13-Inch Benchtop Planer
Buy new: $619.95 Another amazing machine. It finishes boards to a glassy shine. Chip/dust collection is a breeze due to fan assisted chip ejection.
|
| DELTA 17-990X X5 3/4 Horsepower 16-1/2-Inch Variable Speed Drill Press
This is a nice machine. It went together easily (I even did it by myself... ah the joys of physics.) Fit and finish are perfect.
|
| DELTA 31-300 6-Inch/12-Inch 1-1/2 Horsepower Open Stand Belt/Disc Sander, 120/240-Volt 1 Phase
Buy new: $899.00 I've wanted a stand alone sander for a while. Finally pulled the trigger when I was able to combine discounts to get a great price. More info once it's in use.
|
 | JET 708634CK DC-1200CK 2 Horsepower 1,200 CFM Canister Dust Collector, 230-Volt 1 Phase
I have plumbed my entire shop with 4 inch hose connected to this machine. Even when I leave the blast gate open on my miter saw and use one other machine, I have enough suction.
|
 | Makita BTD140 LXT 18-Volt Lithium Ion Impact Driver Kit
Buy new: $304.99 This thing is FREAKY small and light. A huge upgrade from my previous Makita 18v drill driver (which I loved). It's small enough that it's going to make certain operations much easier.
|
 | Hitachi M12-volts 3-1/4-Horsepower Electronic Variable Speed 1/2-inch Plunge Router
An unbelievable value on Amazon. Very powerful and accurate. Perfect for router table mounting.
|
 | Bosch 1617EVSPK 12 Amp 2-1/4-Horsepower Plunge and Fixed Base Variable Speed Router Kit with 1/4-Inch and 1/2-Inch Collets
Buy new: $193.97 / Used from: $179.00 For off-table use. Good reviews. Great balance of power and ease-of-use. Works well with my Incra dovetail jig.
|
 | Porter-Cable 7518 Speedmatic 15 Amp 3-1/4 HP Fixed Base 5-Speed Router
Buy new: $349.00 An enormous machine. My third router. It's mounted in the Mast-R-Lift
|
 | JessEm 02101 Mast-R-Lift - 9 1/4-Inch x 11 3/4-Inch
Buy new: $249.95 Love the above table adjustment and bit changing with the PC 7518
|
 | Freud 91-100 13-Piece Super Router Bit Set with 1/2-Inch Shank and Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide
Buy new: $199.99 Combined with any of the routers above and a good router table, you'll be amazed what you can do with these bits.
|
 | Porter-Cable 557 7.5 Amp Plate Joiner
Buy new: $219.00 / Used from: $193.99 A workhorse. The biscuit joint is now standard practice and this machine is the right balance between quality and price.
|
 | Kreg R2 Rocket Pockethole System
If you're not going to use biscuits, you might want to use pocket holes. This is the tool for that purpose.
|
 | DEWALT DW7350 Planer Stand with Integrated Mobile Base
Buy new: $178.14 / Used from: $162.99 If you get the planer above, get this stand. It's sturdy as hell and predrilled for the 735. You're unlikely to find anything else this good at this price
|
| Porter-Cable CFFN250N 16-Gauge Finish Nailer 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Compressor Combo Kit
You won't ever regret getting a good compressor, finish nailer and brad nailer. They can cut hours out of assembly time. This combo pack is a great value.
|
 | Freud D208 8-Inch Professional Dado
Buy new: $94.97 / Used from: $85.00 Good value but not perfect. You'll get some ridges in the bottom of your cuts. I'll probably upgrade to the next level Freud dado set this year.
|
 | Makita BHP451 LXT 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Hammer Drill/Driver
Buy new: $387.64 I got this free through a rebate/offer and it will pair well with the BTD140 for "true" drilling applications.

Listmania!
