okay Newbiies, I have set up 3 shops in that many years for about $1000.
Craig's List is your best friend. If you cant find a good Wood workers bench on CL get your 20% off coupon and buy the one From HF, to make a better will cost about 200$ more, thicker top, buy some SS, on CL with a jointer and Band Saw, maybe 2 SS and and make one in to a dedicate DP or and lathe if that is your thing. Find some ERs that even do the lathe, and DP better if it has a Speed Changer, All do able fix ups, even a Mark V, you can have a shop for less then a grand. We and the MS have all the knowledge and parts to do it if need be. I have ERs, that are original bearings in them and the motors, as far as I know, on the average 66 years old!!!

The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

I dont use them for my Table Saw, there are so many Delta out here for $125 for the 1 HP motor, or the same same saw with a back swung, belt drive 1.5HP on the same table/frame for $225ish. they they are bargains. With a bigger table then the old Mark V.
