David Rodwell Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Good morning you lovely people, As our potential move to Lakeside approaches, I am faced with the issue of my hobby woodworking shop. Table saw, band saw, drill press, router table, miter saws and all the other small items. I just priced a Sierra de Mesa at Home Depot in Guadalajara...$MX40,000 for something I picked up used for $US300 used NOB. Is it reasonable to think all these items can be sourced locally, used at reasonable prices? I know, after getting a permanent visa I can bring my household down. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Ferret Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Bring them. Tools are expensive here and sourcing them is difficult. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 One of my biggest regrets when I moved here was that I did not bring my workshop tools. If I could do it again, I would ship them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
