We have two smaller bench-top drill presses, which allow us to be able to drill with one machine and countersink with another (or any other combination of tasks required for a project) without having to change bits. The Jet band saw is used for lots of projects, and also for resawing thick boards into thinner pieces for scroll sawing.

The small portable bench shown in this photo was designed to fit in front of our water heater and furnace. It holds a variety of items, including some of my long pipe clamps (inset).

machine on just about every project wc make. Of course it's ideal to sand the faces and edges of wood pieces and for beveling, but I also use it very often to make parts fit perfectly together or to make sections sit flat or level on top of each other. 1 am so comfortable at working with this machine that I also use it frequently to knock off the sharp edges or corners on boards, and to round over the ends on dowels. It's also the perfect tool for making the bevels on the ends of wood pieces to form roof peaks for various projects, and for removing unwanted pencil marks or other unsightly scratches and blemishes. (Note the placement of the portable dust collector at the end of the sander. This handy unit will capture almost all of the dust produced by the sander).

In the middle of our shop are a few more scroll saws, a Hegner and two RBI Hawks.
