Oh mah gawd thats amazing. I frikken WISH someone would give me a decent saw. Does it have one of those sick beismeyer style fences on it?? I keep buying cheap ones from garage sales and they never end up being what I imagined... One has a warped table, one has warped guts inside which wont allow the blade to sit square..
You ever see those stations that have two in one? Like table saw ontop, undo the latch, the table flips over and boom chop saw or whatever else??
How does the bandsaw work for you?? I always wondered, ive never used one.. Like if you wanted to cut a 10mm by 10mm piece of whatever, how do you keep it from just, running wild and going all curvy?? I get that they have a fence but like.. meh. I think you get what I mean.
You aint kidding about getting a jointer. Shit changes the game. No more sanding saw marks like a peasant for hours. I'll still use my flat machine but only sparingly.. (the flat machine is sand paper glued to a sheet of glass lol)
I could post some pics of my stuff if anyone is interested. I'm not very accomplished just yet but the right tools makes shit a lot easier to become better.

Standard fence on the table saw nothin to fancy it’s pretty good though, Bosch does good work. The guy just wasn’t the type to peak under the hood to see if it was something basic to fix. Glad he gave it to me tbh lol it was stuck in the highest position just waiting to dish out a nasty kickback.
I’ve seen those flip tables but I’m not sure I’d try to make one without the proper hardware for locking it in and flipping it. It’s not locally available for me and I live out in the sticks. If I was pinched for space I might give it a try but for now I still have some space to work with.
Bandsaws are a breeze really. If ya have really curved cuts just plan ahead and step cut as needed, ya can smooth out whatever ya need to with a sander later. It does have a fence but for what I do I can accomplish most rips on the table saw or with my skilsaw if need be.
I definitely recommend a jointer and planer combo for anyone who is doing project that need to be square. I had some jigs to kind of rough cut them before but you’re right the sanding like a pleb was a pain in the ass lol. Before I had the combo it seemed like no matter what I did it was really hard to achieve a true 90° it wasn’t horrible but if ya make picture frames or anything like that, one side or corner always creeped up and bugged the shit out of me.
Heh that went on longer than I expected, none of my friends do woodworking outside of banging nails roofing or framing so I don’t get to talk about it often lol
