Why do we buy tools ?
Generally for one of two reasons :
a) it is critical to performing a particular task that we have in mind, or
b) we just plain 'fancy' having one with no particular task in mind? (much like those who buy new clothes because the old ones are out of fashion)
If the former, then once that tool has done its job it has earned its keep and is effectively 'free' thereafter.? From then on, every time it is used it's giving back the work it does for no charge? -? Life is bliss
If the latter, then every time you wish to use the tool you are effectively paying to hire it.? It came at a cost and that cost, including wear, tear and depreciation must be paid for.??Those
who borrow tools rarely seem to appreciate that fact.?
And apart from that, tool owners and users are simply exercising that same, ingenuity, desire and enthusiasm that dragged mankind out of the cave

As the topic says, I am a bit curious why people need a small bandsaw
to cutting something by themselves? As i know most of our bandsaw sold to US market and lots of DIY brands machine also do as well, can anyone share why people need this kind of machine? like 4x6 small bandsaw or hacksaw...? In Taiwan, people doesn't do this
very often, is it because high labor charge or any other reason cause people in US like to do it by themselves?
