Like you, I also regretted buying smaller, less expensive tools. I learned over time that better tools make woodworking so much more enjoyable. "Buy once, Cry once" - as they say. Thanks for making this video.
That's why I've been buying Festool and Laguna. I've replaced too many inferior tools. I don't want to do it again. Yes, bigger is better but there is a sweet spot, too. I had a Bosch sliding compound miter saw and replaced it with a Kapex-120, mainly because the Bosch took way too much space. The Kapex is a great tool. I recently used it for some dados for cross supports. they came out perfectly.
3:45 if you do get a second bandsaw that is larger, you can put a resale blade on the big one and put a thin detail blade on the smaller one. I only have an old cheap bandsaw that I bought secondhand, but that’s what I will likely do in the future.
at least with the kapex you can sell it for nearly what you paid for it, and upgrade. i got the 60 because its more portable than the 120, i agree its great but has its size limitations.
