Dave, Look at the Shopsmith line of equipment. If you have limited space, the multi-function aspect is perfect. I've had mine for 15 years and have replaced a multitude od pin blocks useing the bandsaw attachment and the drill press. It comes as a table saw, drill press, disc sander, lathe. To that you can get accessories: band saw, planer, jointer, belt sander, jig saw, and a few others. I have the bandsaw, the planer and the jointer. My 6" belt sander is another brand becuause I got it cheap :-) It comes in handy to have these tools available_and_ not take up half the shop. Check it out. Jon Page Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass.
