All the suggestions are great and it has really lengthened my list of possibilities and the personal insight is great! The next step is to decide what platform to invest in. From what I've seen so far, the best option for the time being are Bosch, Dewalt, Ryobi, Makita, Milwaukee, and Rigid (since those are the ones being recommended). If I don't go through with going with a festool (likely as of this point), which one of these platforms should I start with?
