I'm not wanting to rain on your parade...but as [member=550]Tinker[/member] & [member=2205]teocaf[/member] & [member=11196]Peter Parfitt[/member] & [member=761]Steve Rowe[/member] & [member=13058]Kev[/member] have already said, it would be advisible to keep the bandsaw. Especially as you describe the band saw as (Delta machine is like brand new), wow that's a no-brainer for me. The radial arm saw I get because it takes up a lot of real estate, but the band saw takes up less than 3 square of floor space, that's about an area that a bench vise would fit in.

Ultimately, it's your decision, but to trade in a good band saw, and then having to pay more for a jig saw, that can not perform the same operations as a band saw, would be ludicrous. To each their own...

[member=550]Tinker[/member], Thanks for calling me out on reality! To Funny.

[member=44099]Cheese[/member], I haven't done my reasearch on cost and time and from what you just informed me on doesn't sound like something I will every find enjoyable! I'll stick with the accasional Burly Hunt and go to a local yard for the rest. Thanks for some clarity their.

All that have commented, Thanks for weighing in, sounds like I should keep the Band Saw and Drill Press for now. Glad you guys pushed in Im still new at this and want to make a little mistakes in building my shop and tool collection as possible.

I don't want to buy anything I dont absolutly need while $$ will be stretched.

So on to the next question then, what are some great projects to start first (Projects you wish you would have waited on tell you had more experience and ones that are great to run the passes so to speak in learning the new tools I'll have and the ones I currently own?

I was hoping you were closer to where I could get that bandsaw to my daughter's...
Festool is not the only good German tool manufacturer, so loading up the relatives seems a good plan.

I have a Domino 700 and the seneca gear and 700 and 500 domino systainers.
You can spend a lot, but it works well and if one uses them then they make sense.

However I am not sure a domino replaces the bicuit joiner, unless one is joining real wood. For ply or MDF the biscuits might be better??
And I could picture a lot of kid projects that use plywood or MDF.

I have an MFT. I do not see how one can plane on it.
Sawing and clamping works fine though. Handsawing and filing does not work as well.
