Next tool to buy

[Handworkfan]

I've been the rounds of quite a lot of cheap machines and they've all had to go - they're a complete false economy.
I now have two main machines - a bandsaw and a planer/thicknesser. They take care of the preparatory donkey-work after which the hand tools take over. If you only have one powered saw a bandsaw is much more versatile than a table saw - for basic preparation, tenons, curves, resawing, you name it. It can also cut the outline for carving work.
It was trying out a cheap bench-top planer-thicknesser that finally pushed me in the right direction and I decided to invest the extra for a better rmachine. I bought a REcord Power PT 260 - not the top of the range by a long way, but good, honest, basic kit - and their BS300 bandsaw. Having a small workshop, their wheel-kits were a big part of the reason. The only real issue I have with the P/T is that converting it to thicknessig isn't as simple as some other machines, but the amount I use it, with a bit of careful planning it does the job just fine.

Why another router?

What would be the smallest, accurate bandsaw? I really have very little room.

Yes. I've had bad experiences with "yellow" things!

Depending on what you're doing, more than one router can be useful, so that you can leave one set up as it is while using the other - helpful if you're going to have to come back to the other settings later.
You can also leave one in a jig or in a table while using the other hand-held. However, I'd say if your router's the only machine then the priority is probably to get the other basic ones before getting two of soemthing - especially if you have to ask why, that means you probably don't need it!
Regarding small bandsaws, I'd hesitate to advise on specifics because I dont' know the market well enough. However, there are some things to look out for.
Many small machines have aluminium rather than the more rigid steel frames. Steel makes it much easier to get precise cuts. Look at how easy the blade guides are to set up, and whether the fence can be adjusted to ensure it's parallel to the blade.
That's a starter - I'll leave it to others to add from their wisdom.
