Hi Gang,
Heres some background. I work in my garage(SHOP!!) and I have a nice 50"
Jet TS and an old Dewalt RAS and crappy ryobi router.
Lately I have had delusions of grandeur, thinking about doing some more
serious side work. I have a commission to do 7 small carts and another to
do an entertainment center. These are from the same client.
I am in a position to invest in the shop a bit and I can justify about
$5-$600. Im thinking of getting a 2hp Dust collector (Shop Fox), a Triton
2-1/4 HP Router, and a forrest WWII blade.

The dust collector will be a luxury that will not assist in actual building
of a project. Nice to have but will not get all of what your TS, RAS or
router put out. You are still going to have to clean up.

If your saw is properly set up I would go with the Blade improvement WWII
first.



I am definitely getting the WWII, my questions is: Is there anything
else that I am not thinking of that would be useful?

I'd love a jointer but i want to wait until I can get a good one.
Im afraid a planer would just sit there for quite a while.

The dust collector is the thing thats got me puzzled. Is it going to be
that helpful? Is there something more useful that I should get instead?

thanks!
BadAndy
