- Hmmmm.... The answer would depend on if you plan on building more
- projects in the future or if this is a one time deal. I've used circular
- saws that would not cut straight. Sometimes it was the blade, sometimes
- it was the saw itself. Try a new blade first. If your saw can't cut
- straight, it ain't much good. Then again, some skill is involved in
- making a straight, true cut.Practice makes perfect, or something like
- that.
- Book shelves or book cases are something that you can build quite nicely
- without using a T-saw or RAS. A good router would make cutting dadoes
- and rabbets for these shelves and/or cases a lot easier.You would have
- enough money left over for clamps and other necessary starter tools.
