These are some of the tools that we are looking to invest in sometime soon depending on what kind of deal we can find used versus new. They are not in any particular order. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! We will probably be buying mid grade tools unless we can find a good deal on a used tool.
1) Random Orbit Sander (ours disappeared a year or so ago)
Based off of a review in the October 2008 Wood Magazine we are currently looking at either the Milwaukee 6021-21 $69.00 Home Depot or the Ridgid R2601 $70.00 Home Depot.

2) Drum Sander
Based off of a review in the October 2008 Wood Magazine we are currently looking at either the Grizzly G0459 $545.00 Amazon or the Jet 628900 $680.00 Amazon.
3) Drill Press - Floor
Based off of a review in the September 2010 Wood Magazine we are currently looking at either the Shop Fox W1680 $413.00 Amazon or the Delta 17-959L $579.00 Amazon. One brand that was not reviewed but we will look at is the Ridgid DP1550 $299 Home Depot.
4) Mortiser
We haven't decided if we need a dedicated mortiser or just a mortiser attachment for a floor drill press. Apparently the attachment is available from $64 to $130. However if we do get a dedicated mortiser then we based this off of the review in the June/July 2004 Wood Magazine. We are looking at either the Shop Fox W1671 $239 Amazon or the Delta 14-651 $299 Home Depot $276 Amazon.

5) Hand Planes
6) Japanese Pull Saw
We are leaning towards this one: Japanese "Kugihiki" Flush Cutting Saw from Woodcraft $27.99.

7) Pocket Screw Jig
8) Clamps, clamps, and more clamps
9) Brad or Pin Nailer
10) Laser Engraver
We are hoping to find a used laser engraver in the near future but if we can't find one used then we would love to get the Epilog Zing 24 Laser.
11) Dovetail Jig
Haven't read any reviews for this but we know that Porter Cable makes a good jig. Will have to do further research before making a decision.
