Next step up in tools

I have most of the basics for tool ,welder air compressor, grinder, drill press, etc. But I would like step up my game so I can make small parts that look factory made, not hand made. Not looking for a mill or anything like that. But something to get nice straight smooth cuts? Ya know for like throttle brackets or larger parts to weld together. Maybe a band saw would be a good idea for the next tool? How about those bench mounted belt sanders or discs?

 

I have a belt sander and disc and wish I had a bandsaw.

 

i plan on gettin a bench top sander, and a bandsaw from my dad lol!

 

I would go with a belt/disc sander first. They really finish off brackets nicely.

 

I would'nt know what to do w/o my beltsander and band saw.

 

more tools the better

 

Id rather have a band saw than my plasma cutter at times.
But its like anything, you get something and then you will need something bigger and better for the next job.

 

One of those 4x6 vetical/horzontal band saws look like a good idea and reasonable price too. I was also reading in the other theard about bandsaws, some good info there.

Thanks for the input

 

One of my favorite tools

Maybe this is better than a link

 

I'd just get a WaterJet ,

I would go for the band saw myself.
