Two Words..... Harbour Freight If you are not planing on doing more woodworking than what you do with your cabinet you don't need to spend a fortune on tools. I recently read a review in a magazine where they ordered a bunch of low budget tools. They were surprised by what they got. There point was that these tools were not as good as something name brand but if you were occasional user they did the job without breaking the bank. You might also check the classified and yard sales just do a little research on buying used tools first. |

Excellent sub-$300 table saw = Ryobi BT3100 at Home Depot. The best part about this saw is a dedicated forum, on-par with this one for help and info... www.bt3central.com Lots of info on lots of tools there, and great community. |

Although I own a decent collection of various power tools, I used very few building my cabinet: * Cheap jigsaw * Nice (Porter Cable) router * 6 foot angle aluminum as a straightedge * 4 very cheap (ebay) C-clamps * Nice (Porter Cable) cordless drill (a cheap one would work fine too) * Large carpenter's square * #2 pencil That's all I used for the entire woodworking portion of my build, and it came out looking very nice. |
