[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 15556, member: 162"] Re: what other forums do you read? I do a lot more home improvement/woodworking than I do sound, so for me tools tend to pay for themselves in either improved final quality, or an easier process to get to that point. Case in point - I have a $4500 SawStop table saw that is a wonderful tool, unless you need to cut 4' X 8' or larger sheet goods by yourself. Enter the Festool tracksaw. One man processing of sheet goods is a piece of cake now, and actually a pretty good value compared to the cost of a real sheet saw or the shop space required for a huge sliding table saw. I'm with you for some things, though - I'm still using Chinese tooling in my Bridgeport because I'm not proficient enough to not destroy tools occasionally, so replacing a $5 end mill hurts a lot less than a $35 end mill. Looks like a very nice car! I have Bimmer dreams, but not sure that will ever happen with my other expensive hobbies. [/QUOTE]
