re: What tools should a man own?

This is the one I have. You can set it flush against a wall. It's the best made right now:

Currently I have 2 table saws, 2 radial arm saws, 1 large router table, 1 small router table, 1 sliding compound mitre saw, 1 regular mitre saw, 1 lathe, 1 sanding station, 2 air compressors, several different nailers, several different drills, drivers, and screw guns, dremels etc.

If you have to ask, you're not a man.

I wouldn't buy a table saw unless I absolutely needed one for a particular project. I purchased mine to complete my floring project.

I have both. The table saw hasn't been plugged in since 2009.

The miter saw gets used all the time. It's a bad arse miter saw though.

Bosch dual bevel 12" sliding.

that is a nice one. but if i were to choose one or the other if get a nice delta table saw. you can do all your miter cuts, even go thicker that your miter saw, plus you can rip boards.

The tools you will use most in life are screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets and drills.

Make sure you have these, and that they are of good quality. Don't lose them or lend them out.

The next level of tools are yard tools like a shovel, rake, wheelbarrow, loppers and clippers.

This is followed by essential hand tools like hammers, saws, levels, pliers and vice grips.

The we get into the power tools. By the time you reach this level, you should have an idea of what you need. If not, then you don't need to be messing around with power tools.

You have to decide for yourself how involved you want to be personally in doing stuff manually. Are you going to fix your car yourself? Are you going to build things or just repair them? Are you just hanging pictures and shite?

Having not enough tools is only marginally worse than having more tools than you will ever need, and never use. Be honest with yourself about the type of craftsman you are, and buy accordingly.

Don't get worked up about it. I was asking about mitre saws and shite. You'll get a woman one day and she can help with this anger problem.

I'm sure Im forgetting a few things.

I bought one to replace an aging hitachi. Not a bad saw at all.

Only problem is mine only tils one way and requires a hand saw to complete cuts on larger boards.
