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.

Sorry to hear about your theft. I pass along two nuggests of
information concerning property theft. One, once you've been hit, they
like to come back again, figuring you've replaced the items with new
ones. Two, try not to put large corregated boxes
the ones that big screen TV's and computers etc come packaged in, in
the trash. This is a dead give-away to the bad guys that there are
some new goodies for the taking. You can cut up the corregated so it
won't be so noticeable by casual passers by.
