In general, Bosch is pretty good, but absolute brand loyalty is a recipe for bad decisions. Making your tools matchy-matchy adds a constraint that does nothing to save you money or improve the quality of your work.
Buy tools as you go, not all at once. There are only a few tools that you will use on every project.
> 10" table saw gts1031
A table saw is definitely a must-have in a power tool shop. This one probably cannot wait.
That table saw is lame. A fine example in its category, but a really limiting saw for woodworking. That's the saw you buy if you want to install a couple of rooms worth of hardwood flooring yourself and want to rip the last row on a table saw. Not something if you want to get seriously into the hobby. I started with the Bosch 4100-09 and regretted it quickly. Don't do what I did. Start with a hybrid saw.
> 10" miter saw gm10gd
The right time to buy a miter saw is the first time you have a project that involves trimming a 6'+ long pieces to length many times. This might be garden beds, or installing trim, or installing hardwood floors. If your first project looks like that, go ahead. Otherwise, wait until you get to that project.
For making furniture and smaller objects, a miter saw is a luxury only. I have one. I don't need it at all. Save your money until you are feeling the pain.
> Jig saw js260
Skip this until you are feeling the pain. I use mine very rarely, and would rather have the $ I spent back in my wallet than the tool sitting on a shelf.
> Router 1617evspk
Solid router, and a router is the kind of tool that you'll use on almost every project. Go ahead.
> Hammer drill/driver hdh181
> Impact drill/driver 25618
This will cover all of your needs but it is not what I would recomend doing.
I use a DDH181. It is a magnificent drill/driver. Overkill for a woodshop, but really un-killable. I've dropped it from a ladder onto concrete a few times, drilled a full row of 4" deep dog-holes in maple on one charge, put countless lag bolts into stuff, and built a ton of furniture.
But...it is mediocre in a wood shop. It's really annoyingly heavy and quite large. The Hammer Drill version is even worse. I hate it every time I have to do a bunch of tiny work like drilling shelf pin holes or working inside of a cabinet installing drawers.
If I could start all over I would buy this. A lot less money than the Bosch. Might need to charge more often. A lot nicer on the wrists. I would use one of those 98% of the time.
If you run into the limit of the 12V tools, go buy a corded drill. $90 will get you a nice one that's a hammer drill too. That will cover the 2% of stuff that the 12V tools can't.
This plan saves you hundreds of $ and makes your wrists feel better. Also, it might be years before you actually have to buy the corded one.
(If it must be Bosch, they have a 12V kit that competes against the M12 kit, it's just a little bit more expensive. Still a lot less than what you had in mind).
