Saws

Compound Miter Saw - Makita 10"

Perfect saw for chopping up 2x4's and other lumber. Maximum angle is 45°. I bought this saw for $5. Probably the best $5 I have ever spent on a tool. It even cuts aluminum (use the old blade for that!).

Track Saw - Grizzly [T10687]

An amazing tool for cutting plywood down into manageable or finished pieces. It makes very accurate straight cuts though 3/4" plywood. Bunny Bar v1, and v2 were both built with this saw. It takes 160mm x 20mm blades.

Drills and Drivers

Hammer Drill/Driver - Milwaukee 1/2" [2704-20]

Welding

Mig Welder - [Lincoln Electric 140C]

K2471-2

This is a great little welder. It runs on 110v AC and has a small gas tank so it fits into a car and can be used on site easily. It's good for mild (normal) steel up to 1/8" thick. So far it's built a bed frame, several tables, a four person bicycle, two gates, and steam boiler. It's a hot glue gun for metal and it's fun to use!

  • Welding Hood - Autodarkning [Antra AH7-860-0000]
  • Welding Hood - Generic brand but still works

Chop Saw - Ridged 14"

Great for cutting mild steel. It's noisy and smelly so used it outside.

Angle Grinder - Makita 4-1/2"

Comes in a red bag with the wrench you need to change blades and the optional extra handle. You're also going to want a dusk mask, ear protection, and a face shield. Use this tool with care and think about which way the blade is spinning. This tool likes to kick so hold it firmly and away from your body.

Complete Socket Set

I have had this socket set for over 10 years and never lost a single piece. If you lose a piece plan to stop at the hardware store before returning it!

Many of these tools were purchased to support 8-bit Bunny.
