Hi all,
I've been searching around these forums for a while now trying to guage what tools would be a worthwhile investment for my current setup.
Bit of background; Ive be been turning my hands at wood working for a little while now and have built some rudimentary bits from 2x4s and free pallets that I have ready access to. I have limited space and a small selection of tools at my disposal.
I've found my cheapo BnQ brand CSMS working well but wanted to expand just a little bit so I could tackle other projects.
My research intially led to a Table Saw but after reading through these forums they seem a very American thing. That and I don't have a great deal of space and my accommodation isn't permanent. So that brought me to track saws, but again I think I may need something more, universal?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but would I be right in saying a good circular saw would be handy in my situation? Eventually I'll have a more long term space to work in.
My budget is small as a hobbyist and I have seen a Makita HS7601J/2 and the Bosch GKS 190.
Thanks for reading my war and peace.
TLDR: should I buy a Bosch GKS 190 or a Makita HS7601J/2 to cut wood in my garage.
