    Since woodworking is my passion, when we built our house I had my shop pre-wired with a 220 outlet in anticipation of getting a real cabinet saw. However, space is such a premium that I've just kept my old Bosch portable. Riving knife always on, pawls on, guard always on, unless not possible (e.g dado). However, I also have a track saw to break down sheet goods and use it run one true edge when breaking down lumber (I had a jointer but I was never really satisfied with the results). As someone else noted, the biggest drawbacks of the Bosch are the size of the table and the fence. The fence is definitely serviceable, but I do think about how I would hook up an Incra fence (highly recommend one of these for a router table)

    Quoted from lowbeau67:

    Also get a kickass blade for your tablesaw

    Yeah, forgot to mention, I use Forrest Woodworker II blade...I also use their sharpening service. A good sharp blade is worth the investment.

    Quoted from pianz:Deleted post

    It depends upon what you plan on making. If you're making wood furniture, you won't need an impact wrench or an angle grinder. If you are buying non-dimensioned hardwoods you'll need a planer and a sander. If you are creating thin lumber from thick lumber, you'll want a bandsaw to resaw. You may also want a jointer.

    Personally, I think for making furniture you will want a table saw, router and router table (which you can make), orbital/palm sander, biscuit jointer (domino even better but lots more $), drill and drill driver, compressor (get one of the 'kits' that comes with a 16 and 18 ga nailer) and clamps, (lots of different types and sizes). A track saw is also a good investment if you will be breaking down sheet goods (cutting std 4x8 plywood down into smaller pieces). It's a whole lot easier than wrangling on a table saw unless you have large infeed and outfeed tables. I also think a Kreg pocket screw kit is a nice way to quickly and easily make joints. (A good shop vacuum/dust collector is also a good investment)
