hello fellow LJs. I am moving to the Chicago area in a couple of weeks from over seas and I want to set up my shop there as well. I wanted to know if anybody knew of a good place to start looking for tools (table saws, planers, etc.). I don't think I will have the money to buy all new, so looking for any leads on auctions, sales, etc. Does anybody know of a good place to start looking. I did some research online, but a lot of it is tools for metal work, and that's not me.

thanks, any suggestions would be helpful.

Publicsurplus.com and IRSauctions occasionally have good auctions near the Chicago area. Other than that, I would just recommend craigslist.

I actually have a few machines that I'm looking to sell. I'm about 2hrs from Chicago, but I've made the trip lots of times. If you're interested in stationary machines send me a PM and I can get you some pictures.

Jon
