2. BUYING TOOLS THAT YOU DON'T NEED For efficient space planning, it is important not to go crazy and buy large power tools or equipment. The ability to use floor space more efficiently must be considered. As an example my table saw has the ability to mount a router. Also, there are many table saws which are portable and generally smaller in size. It's a good idea to consider them for small spaces. Even better are rolling work stations and multi tool tables. Now you should buy tools as you need them. Consider this: 1) does this tool meet my need today? 2) If it does, how long will I take to outgrow it, if ever?
