Ifn you need them I am like Roy go for it. I am thinking instead of a profile sander and a bunch of jigs maybe a CNC router already got the laptop  :goldtooth:

Rule # 1. You can never have too many tools..... unless you live in town where you can't build an 80x100 shop to house said tools. Then of course the Mrs. (who is also the financial adviser) has the power override Rule #1

No oversight committee here. 😊
The only thing holding me back is the lack of space. I really want to buy a 12” helical jointer. I just bought a 4 x 36 belt sander that I plan to mount on a flip cart along with my rigid sander.

I just got a Grizzly catalog in the mail today. 738 pages. I feel like when I was a kid and saw the Sears Christmas catalog for the first time.
 I think the fun governor hid it on me while I was in the shop.
