Big bang buy? Really, I suggest buying as needed, For instance, you will probably only use 2 or 3 router bits. So buy good Whiteside for the ones you use.
I too like CMT blades.
PEC blems are great tools at great prices.
You can get excellent rulers on Amazon dirt cheap.
Yea, WEN is the champ for cheap power tools, but notice I say cheap.
Nothing wrong with the Laguna band saw, but look at the Rikon and Harvey C-14. I liked the guides better on the Harvey. 3 HP etc.
Again on the Borg, you can find very nice wheel marking gauges dirt cheap. You do have to sharpen the wheel. I have several.
I found the Trend Stealth dust mask to fit me the best. Eclipse was good too, but the Stealth fits.
Lots of competition on contractor table saws. Personally, the bigger and heavier the safer I feel. Job-site saws just scare me. Really, a riving knife is the biggest deal.
The WEN spindle sander is the best of the bunch that look alike. Longer stroke. I swapped mine for the Ridgid belt/spindle sander though.
I just swapped my digital calipers for the Igange dial calipers that read in fractions. No battery dead all the time etc. I do still have a pair of very good digital, but for woodworking, I really love my dial ones.
Cheap diamond stones are just that, cheap. DMT are expensive, but check out Trend. I think Stumpy had a vidio on the different types.
I love my Narlex Rictor cryo treated chisel. I only have a 1/2 inch as I have a full set of old Marples. The Cryo does hold the edge longer and they are almost ready to use out of the box.
I grabbed the uber expenvice 3M ROS. Worth it in my view. 3M purple mesh disks of course. In reality, the disks are 90% of th emagic. I have a DeWalt ROS I hate, so it was a good excuse.
Planer but no jointer? Just doing a fence jig on the TS maybe?
You did forget blue masking tape and tubes of super glue.
CAUTION: the dust extractor needs to be a HEPA canister. The bag collectors just power disperse the dangerous fines into the air so you are sure to breath them. I ust the giant overkill Clear View and my vac uses the small cyclone. he DUst DEputy is just as good in various sizes. Ultimate small shop is of course the Harvey Gryo. $$$$
I am sure everyone has their preferences. I just got back from spending all my money at the MWTCA meet.
