Help needed!

I won't be doing it alone. Will be employing one well-experienced carpenter to do most of the things for me. Am willing to buy any tools which will make our work a lot easier and better.

Here are my existing power tools which I think we can use:
Bosch 235mm Circular Saw
Bosch GWS grinder
Bosch Cordless Drill
B&D Jigsaw

I have a friend who gives me good discounts in Bosch PT here in Qatar. Problem is, most of the tools I wanted are in 50Hz only. Will try to scout for Makita na lang pero wala na discounts.

Calling out to our resident Bosch contact, Mr. Golden. How much po ang Bosch router, ung pinakamura. Also, Random Orbital Sander which I think will come in very handy.

Kumpletuhin ko na kaya with a Table Saw which Mr. Armand bought recently? What you guys think? TIA

If I may, I believe it would also base from what tools your carpenter knows how to use. It would be good if he knows how to use all the power tools that you'll have. Otherwise he will be relying all the rest from you, which then pressures you to know how to use all those tools.

My point is better talk as well with the carpernter on how you would go with the plan and wrok from there on the things that you'll need.

@violaine,
Hindi po bigtime. Nagtitipid nga kaya DIY with some help from a friendly neighborhood carpenter eh. Plus maimprove ko pa ung skill ko in WW.

@Jarod,
Yep. The friendly carpenter is also a friend so it works both ways. We learn from each other. Kung di nya alam, I will definitely find time to learn how to use them. Oo nga. Maganda nga siguro discuss ko din sa kanya kung ano mai-suggest nyang tools.

Thanks for the suggestion.

since you limit your projects to cabinets, drawers and shelves, a circular saw, a router (palm router na lang), a variable speed drill will do with driver bits...

paint finish ba o laminate work? else you need to have a cheap laminate cutter.

since gusto mo makatipid, forget the table saw muna..invest in a hand plane kahit na s4s ang stocks na bibilin mo.
