It's all very well having a giant router to play with, but occasionally you need other tools.
Over the years I've picked up a pretty good collection, mostly in the "cheap" range as that was all I could afford (obviously the giant CNC router is an exception.)
Sometimes I get a bit lucky though. I picked up these two from a garage sale for a combined price of $70. The ARC welder is a Goodwell (an old Australian brand) and the drop saw is a Elu PS-174.
They've both been well used in their previous life as shop-fitters, but they've been taken care of and are in good working order. I stripped down the drop saw and applied some grease, but that's been it.
