Everything ie: drill presses, lathes, mills, saws, sanders, presses, grinders, buffers etc.
Lets see them all at work and home.

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

A good old DoAll bandsaw pic would be awesome if someone had an old monster one.

We use a big Sundstrand belt sander like this one in the shop at work.  (we can't take pics at work!)

It's 240 volt, liquid cooled and is a workhorse.  It does a lot of work in any given day.

I'll bet that can really remove a lot of skin very quickly if you're not paying attention.

here are some of my "go to" tools. All are good Taiwanese quality tools

The drill press is an ENCO 17" model and it has been with me since the late 90's. It was B-Day gift from my wife --

The 6x48" x12" disc/belt sander was a Harbor Freight model that they sold for many years throughout the 80's and 90's. It has never been down and will remove metal very fast. I use it more than any other sander in my shop. Here is a pic of when it was purchased new -- fresh out of the box over two decades ago. HF doesn't sell it any more[ which is a shame because for $200 this was a real bargain.

The bandsaw is an HF woodworking model that was converted for metal use through a reduction pulley system. Works very well on steel
