re: Tool Series Question: Power Tools

As an update, I did a power tool inventory after doing some research across all of your answers. Looking at most of the inherited tools from my grandpas and great grandpas, those older skil saws, Milwaukee, and craftsman are solid. Granted, they aren't for every day use, so them being heavier is not really an issue. For example, that heavy duty, Milwaukee sawzall is a beast heavy as all get out, but go through anything.

If you have a suggestion for any of the tools that I want or any tool that I'm missing, I'm all ears.

Do you have 220v available?

That will determine whether you can have a cabinet saw or a work site saw.

Both my table saw and jointer (powermatic 8”) are 220v.

I could find a use for multiple sized grinders and some die grinders ha.

I saw you have a welder already, I don't think I've done one welding project where I didn't have at least two or three angle grinders with me. Cut-off disc, hard grinding wheel, and a flap disc...just easier to have them ready vs swapping discs. Also, depressed-center cutting wheels on a good 5" grinder are the way to go. Also, Evolution chop saw, I'm probably going to get the S15CPS when I start my gate project this Fall.
