I alread have a TS,router,scrollsaw, various other hand power tools, butwhat would be my next purchase in an ameture's woodshop?I was thinking bandsaw or drill press but I am not sure which I would getthe most use out of.Rich

Get a drill press, then the bandsaw. Your scrollsaw will handle most of the light work that a band saw can do, but you WILL find yourself wanting a bandsaw next. Keep an eye out for a deal on either and snap it up if you get the chance.John

What's next to buy?

Nice cast!

(I still like my new Craftsman table saw, and I got 30% off. 10% plus an additional 20%. I knew what I was buying. When it falls apart and the accuracy goes all to hell in six months, you people can laugh at me and point fingers, but I'm betting about $400 that's not really going to happen. Time will tell.)
