A possible pre-cursor to my [Vulcan Open Lab] idea.
Now that I've got just a little experience, I'm finding that a collection of tools is nice, but you can really get a lot done with a table saw and drill press. My table saw is rated at 15amps, which is just over 2HP. I can get a router at that power. I think a router would serve well as a general purpose power house.
Base Tools
- Router
- Straight bit
- Edge (bearing) bit
- Chamfer bit
- Plunge bit
- Bit driver and set
- Digital Calipers
- Dial gauge (?)
Drill Press
Purchase
- drill bits
- drill chuck (MT2 $20)
- thrust bearing
- switch
- balance spring (coil?)
The base will be particle board filled with concrete. The column will be a pvc pipe filled with concrete (possibly with rope compression). The table will be particle board. I think it's best to just top it with thick epoxy, but aluminum may also make sense.
Not sure where to get or how to construct the arbor for the drill chuck.
