Hi, I would need couple of tools for exhibit structure build.
Most wood working are done at school, I never own my own at home. I need you guys to help me.The following tools I need are:

table saw
Miter Saw
sheet sander



I don't really care what brand it is, as long it's cheap and workable.
My budget is 600-700.

Thanks

Where do you live?

How soon do you need these tools?

Is this the only time you will use these tools or do you forsee future requirement?

Do you know what craigslist.com is?

Just what are you trying to cut and how accurate does the cut have to be. There may be alternatives to the table saw, which is the most expensive of the tools you listed.

In other words, we need more information about what you want to do so that appropriate answers may be given.

Why do you want a sheet sander? Wouldn't a random orbit sander better fit your needs? Also you could get by without a tablesaw and just use a decent circular saw with a few homemade jigs for ripping plywood.

It's a simple project.
For now.

It needs to able to cut 4' x 8' feet plywood boards and 2x4

wood frame wall and plywood
This project needs to be done by the end of the year. I can wait until holidays sales.


For accuracy, 75% accurate
clean cut



I will be using them for at least couple of years.
I use to look at out deals on craiglist, but not anymore.

I live in CA.

A panel saw is the best way to cut large sheet goods like plywood.
The 2 x 4 s can be cut with a chop saw like a Craftsman or Rigid for about $100.00. Combined with the panel saw a little over your budget, but will last for years and you can sell both on Craigs List if no longer needed after the project.
Panel saw:
http://www.panelpro.com/ for $775.00 bill
