lunari Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Alright, since the local lumberyards don't have any MDF at the moment, I figure I should order some new tools so I won't have to borrow them from other people when the MDF finally is available. I don't need these to last forever, but having them be able to work for at least a few builds would be nice! Next paycheck I will probably be ordering these (~10 days), think I will need anything more than this for simple box building? There is a budget here (cheap as possible while still getting nice results), since I won't be building very many boxes. I already have an 18v drill (and bits) so I'm good there. Plunge Router Jasper Model 270 Jig 3 Piece Carbide Tip Straight Router Bit Set Small Workstation Spring Clamps Countersink Bit 9" Square 7-1/4" Circular Saw with laser 24" Level 50" Contractor's Clamp All this stuff comes to around $250 which I don't think is bad at all. Opinions? Anything that I don't really need? Anything I'm missing? Thanks, Lunari Getting loud on a budget. Impossible? We shall see! 95 Chevy Blazer Pioneer DEH-6700MP RF T10001BD AA Havoc 18" ??
kingsuv Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Tape Measure? other then that it Looks good. It's enough to get to building boxes. You can always add on later Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it.

Torres Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 instead of the carbide tips, i'd get an upcut bit. they seem to go through wood much easier, and in my cases, last a LOT longer
kingsuv Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Maybe pick up a roundover bit? I like to finish off my boxes with a smooth edge. Other then that your ready to build.
