Never too many power tools!

It is just a fact of life. You simply cannot have too many tools,no matter the actual NEED. I started my busness with a compressor, and a 10ER. Still have the ER, and use it all the time as a drill press, or disc sander. The miter guide fits my Delta 14" bandsaw, so that is a daily driver. Then, with help from Bill, I got a 520 for nothing, that I use as a lathe and saw. Nope, ya can't have too many Shop Smiths! jimsjinx
If you are a part time band leader, does that make you a semi-conductor? Where do all the "unguided" bombs go?
