Like you, I also regretted buying smaller, less expensive tools. I learned over time that better tools make woodworking so much more enjoyable. "Buy once, Cry once" - as they say. Thanks for making this video.
That's why I've been buying Festool and Laguna. I've replaced too many inferior tools. I don't want to do it again. Yes, bigger is better but there is a sweet spot, too. I had a Bosch sliding compound miter saw and replaced it with a Kapex-120, mainly because the Bosch took way too much space. The Kapex is a great tool. I recently used it for some dados for cross supports. they came out perfectly.
3:45 if you do get a second bandsaw that is larger, you can put a resale blade on the big one and put a thin detail blade on the smaller one. I only have an old cheap bandsaw that I bought secondhand, but that’s what I will likely do in the future.
at least with the kapex you can sell it for nearly what you paid for it, and upgrade. i got the 60 because its more portable than the 120, i agree its great but has its size limitations.

Its true, you get what you pay for. Had I planned ahead I would not have that drill press. We live and learn

I like the line “sweet spot” you are so right.

The blade on mine is tiny so I would keep it… will get a bigger one later on when finances allow
@@MokuzaiDesign resaw is what that should have said

Yes it is more portable… I don’t have to move mine, so as you said, it would be just for the extra capacity
ur regrets are fascinating old man, i came here expecting some cheap stuff and u went I should've bought a bigger one
I mentioned it because of the work that I do.
