I sold off all my Sears stuff (tablesaw, drillpress, joiner, disk sander, belt sander, bandsaw, lathe, etc.) and got a Shopsmith. It takes up very little space compared to all those individual tools. No money savings since it cost as much as the individual tools, but worth it. The bandsaw takes 1/6" to 1/2"+ blades. The table saw is okay if you don't use it all the time. Then a nice big freestanding one would be better. It's fine for model work. Combine it with a Smithy and you've got everything you need.
