Hey everyone! I've got $600 in Amazon gift cards just waiting to be spent, and I'm looking for some suggestions on tools to buy. I've already got the big essentials like a SawStop table saw, three routers, a Laguna 14-inch bandsaw, a router table, drills, a drill press, palm sander, dust collection system, belt sander, planer, and a bench grinder. I do have a lot of measuring devices, but I don't currently own a jointer—I had a large floor model but sold it due to space issues. So, what do you all think I should get? Hit me with your best recommendations!

If you've already got most of the big tools, I would suggest loading up on consumables like sandpaper, router bits, drill bits, and finishing supplies. They always come in handy and you'll go through them faster than you think!
Clamps! You can never have enough clamps. Just when you think you have enough, you'll hit a glue-up project and run out. Plus, they're essential for almost every project.
Yeah, I totally agree. More clamps are always needed!
It's definitely true—I've learned that the hard way!
If you work with sheet goods, consider getting a track saw. It's a game-changer for precise cuts!
Totally! The track saw is one of my best purchases too.
I like this idea! Definitely a solid approach.
