Required tools for building a cabinet.

(1/4) > >>

guytalbot:
What is the minimum power tools needed for constructing a cabinet?  I have all the hands tools I am sure but don't have a lot of wordworking tools.

Apollo:
Depends on how you plan to build it but I can tell you what I used.

Circular saw (indespensible)
Router
Jigsaw (indespenible)
Mains powered drill (indespensible)
Battery powered drill
Electric spray paint gun
Electric sander
Angle grinder
Drill press

You can probably get by without a few of these i.e. paint spray gun, electric sander etc.
You could probably do the whole thing with a jigsaw only if you really wanted to but I personally wouldn't.
