This is very useful information especially for someone considering starting up a guitar workshop. One of my favorite tools is a "Shopsmith". Check it out at http://www.shopsmith.com/. Its is marketed as a 5 in one tool but I use it for about a million different things. Planer, belt sander, table saw, drill press, disc sander, shaper, and a lathe if I want to make my mom a fancy bowl at christmas time. I bought mine used for about $800. Its a real heavy duty work horse.
