    Metal cut off tool....air or electric?

    Here's a link to the die grinder I use cut-off wheels on. I also use sandpaper flapper wheels, rotary files and grinding disk on it. It's big and powerful. It can take use and abuse and keep on keeping on. http://www.cpomilwaukee.com/grinders_and_metalworking/die_grinders/5196.html

    OK, I need help

    I have a Rigid I bought at Home Depot. I'm happy with it. I use it to drill steel. Anything that will handle steel will handle wood. I don't remember what I paid for it but it was in the range you are thinking about. I think around 300.

    2 pics of the new Cabinets INSTALLED..

    Well I have to ask what the difference is in the cabinets. I have five of the old style that just have the Craftsman label on them. They came out before the Craftsman Professional that they are selling now. It sounds like the quality has changed even among the Craftsman Professional series...

    Basic hand tools - which company to go with?

    My advice would be to buy Craftsman. I believe Craftsman gives you the best bang for your bucks. One thing to be aware of though is that many of their sets skip sizes. Especially the sets that go on sale. If you want complete sets that cover every size you have to shop carefully. If you buy...
