another place to get cheap power tools is thrift stores. I have a Goodwill outlet in my city that often has old power tools. if you're mechanically inclined, you can grab this stuff, and fix it up.

so far I've got:
Hitachi compound miter (with a damn near new Diablo blade) - $20
B&D circ saw - $10
newer Craftsman belt sander - $5
two old B&D workmates - $25

and of course they always have abused hand tools of all kinds, most of them are in perfectly good shape. Sometimes you'll find VERY nice older shit like 80's Craftsman, or (RARELY) Snap-On.

point is, you can find tools heavily marked down at thriftshops. I would suggest big names like Goodwill because a lot of the time they don't know what they have and you can score it for cheap. Again, I wouldn't suggest this unless you can disassemble and maintain the tools because these tools ain't gonna be clean, and they're gonna need to be greased... and sometimes have their carbon brushes changed out.

good luck buddy, happy hunting.
