Darn shame about being robbed - I feel for you. Apparently you weren't
insured or perhaps the deductible is more than the value lost.

I can understand your not being able to get the same quality tools, but one
thought to keep in mind is this:

When you buy something cheap it is usually poor quality and it hurts every
time you use it. When you buy something good quality, it is usually more
expensive, but it only hurts one time - when you pay for it.

Just a thought, Bob-tx

My garage was robbed yesterday and they stole over $1000 of tools. I
had collected these over years so I didn't buy them at once and I
can't afford to replace them all at once with the quality I had. In
fact, I'll never be able to afford to replace the drill press with the
same quality. So, I'm going to have to make do with cheaper versions
and upgrade to better ones over time.

Probably the tool I use most is a bench grinder, so I've focused on it
first. Has anybody had any experience with this grinder?

Yes, I know, Harbor Freight, but it's the best price I can find on a
grinder right now.
