baze7 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I need an opionion, should I spend more money on a bigger band saw, or a bigger drill press, I have neither at the moment. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Bigger than ... a breadbox? If you don't have either, what does 'bigger' mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baze7 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 well like a 12" bandsaw vs a 14" band saw. A 12" Bench top Drill Press or a floor stand drill press, that is what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Oh. Well then, get the biggest you can afford. Good rule of thumb. If you don't believe me, ask Tim Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 a bench top drill press is capable of doing most everything you need on a guitar. i have two 12" bandsaws..both retired and in my storage building. my 14" jet bandsaw is one of the best purchases i ever made for my woodshop. get the better bandsaw..

thegarehanman Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Agreed, I rarely ever use my drill press. I have a cordless drill that has 3 bubble levels built into it to make sure you are square with the surface you'r drilling into. I use that for darn near everything.

Devon Headen Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'd go for the bandsaw. I've only had a bandsaw for the past several months (in an otherwise very well equipped shop), and it's the most used tool now. Drill press is certainly a close second, but you don't NEED a huge drill press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Bandsaw yes. Drill press, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
