I'll check to see what kind of equipment they really have before work on Saturday if I can. The availability of classes and workshops is a big plus for me . . . gotta keep learnin' to do new stuff! I may even check into them as an employment opportunity.It all boils down to cost

I've still got my bandsaw, a 1HP Delta14, all of my small manual and pneumatic sheet metal working tools. I have enough of my shop equipment left to be relatively independent for most tasks. Having a 40" film cutting/inkjet printing drum plotter is a big plus as well. But I sorely miss my Box & Pan Brake, the notcher, horizontal bandsaw and iron working tools, but I don't have a need to do much of that any more. Conspicuously missing and much missed is a drill press, but I can't spare the room for a good one. The Radial Arm and Tablesaws I can get by without now that I've hacked a router table into the oscillating spindle sander table and still have a great Circular Saw and Sabre Saw.

I'm not sure how much high tech equipment I really need.

A year's membership would pay for a great tabletop Drill Press and a Harbor Freight Shear, Press Brake and Slip Roll . . .

. . . but I haven't got a place for that either. :-/
