[QUOTE="scoutdogfab, post: 272959, member: 5583"] Let me start out by saying im new to the forum, been lurking for a long time and always have been active on pirate but this is my first post so take it easy. As the title says im looking for some insite and opinions on what you guys would consider essential shop tools to build a decent chassis for myself and do general fab and builds. I own a small mobile welding business and do performance exhausts for porsche and audi for my day job. Im trying to make the move from being mobile to opening the doors to my own shop. I just turned 24 so budget is of course an issue. So far i have a 220 mig, arc welder, torches, plasma, chop saw , grinders , sawzall, and hand tools that i use out of my truck. To open the doors to a shop im thinking on top of what i listed....a horizontal band saw, vertical band saw, manual bender (for now), Tig machine, a sander, air compressor, and a notcher ( totally lost on what one to buy). Id like to know what tools you guys feel are a must to do some decent builds and what you use to do yours. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
