As a guitar builder, that Ridgid spindle/belt sander was a game changer for me. Outstanding tool
Agree on all except the belt sander. You can remove a lot more material quickly than with any palm sander. Of course, finishing requires using a palm sander or the like. But for quickly bringing a surface within the limits of a palm sander, you need a belt sander.
I definitely think the Kreg saw guide is worth is if you don’t have the money for a track saw or a table saw. I used mine for years. It was great and it broke once after 6 years and Kreg sent me another one without any questions. It was worth the 30 dollars it cost.
I have been woodworking for 3 years. I finally broke down and bought the Rigid spindle/belt sander. It is a game changer for me. I build toys and furniture with curves so it gets used a lot. Amazing tool.
The 18g brad nailer was the best thing I have added to my home reno kit. Best thing ever.
After buying my first Black and Decker corded power drill 25 years ago, the very next tool I bought was a Rigid belt sander. I used that thing once and then stored it for two decades. I only recently got it back out, freed up a seized pully and used it again, but you’re 100% correct on the orbital sander being more robust. If I made a list of things beginners shouldn’t buy (or at least wait to buy), it would be a 1/2″ router. Even after years of projects, I find myself using my little 18V Makita router far more than the far bigger and heavier Bosch that I bought first.
Love how brutally honest this is. So many YouTubers out there going soft so they can get the brand endorsement. I feel like I can actually trust this. Thank you!
Pro tip: never buy short sections of pipe. It costs many times more per linear foot as buying a 10′ section and cutting it down, which they’ll do for you right in the store, most times, and even thread them for you if you want threaded ends for later coupling them together. You can also very easily cut them down yourself with an angle grinder if you need to. Current example: a 3′ section of 3/4″ galvanized is $25 or a 10′ is $33.
I have that very DeWalt Orbital Sander. I use it literally all the time because I have to work outside a lot, and because I use rough, dirty wood (old discarded pallets) it’s great for just throwing some low-grit pads on and running over everything to get off dirt, mold, rough edges and other stuff to make the wood nicer to handle, or prep for painting. I also use it for quail cages so they dont have a ton of rough surfaces to hurt themselves on or for their mess to work into. And without a cord, it makes it especially wieldly and handy to have at the ready.
Admittedly it wasn’t something I originally wanted, since I only got it with a package deal for something else and thought I could give it away as a gift. And granted I’m not some experienced master woodworker, as I’ve only started doing anything significant the past few months, but so far I am very glad I kept it, because honestly I use it more than any other tool so far besides my drills for wood stuff, and while it takes a bit more time, the finished project is that much nicer. It helps that it’s also rather cathartic and soothing to use.
That doesn’t mean I’m advocating a beginner get one, but it certainly still has it’s uses.
I have made a lot of furniture. Nice to know I made the right choices for a lot of my tool purchases. I use the Pipe clamps for panels. an attachment on the drill press for spindle sanding, a corded orbital sander, and the bigger DeWalt planer. I do, however love my 18 ga brad nailer. It has limited uses, but the places where I do use it *chef’s kiss*
