re: Prioritizing power tools for a home woodworking shop

Man if u have Facebook keep an eye out on Marketplace. I’ve bought some great stuff at great prices. So many dudes go into wood working during Covid and just never used the stuff enough. Bought a Harvey table saw and it’s been awesome. I bought a 3hp Grizzly dust collector that the guy had assembled and all the dust in the bag at the time (maybe 2 gallons) was all it had ever sucked up! At the time it was a $2000 units. He took $1000 cash.
I have a 50x60 shop that and I put my wood shop in the back corner. Dust collection was key for me because I keep my boat in there and lots of outdoor cooking equipment etc. I ran pvc around the shop area off the dust collector and I don’t have to close valves when I’m running it and using different tools.
Harvey table saw is a 2hp unit. I added a router table insert to it and love both dust collection is good and performance and accuracy have been great. I built a 4’x6’ outfeed table for it. Put the outfeed table on wheels so I can move it around and use it as a work table when it’s not an outfeed table. I also built a large 4’x8’ work table on locking wheels. Both tables I laminated the tops to keep them clean and slick.
I don’t own a track saw yet but I do have the 50” & 100” Bora saw guides. They work fine for now but I’m eyeing a track saw just not sure I need it?
I have nearly every DeWalt 20V tool they make for woodworking. I just purchased the 20V Brad nailer and pin nailer and got myself detached from the air compressor! I’m not a DeWalt v Milwaukee guy I just DeWalt product and big discounts because they are one of my vendors. I’ve gone cordless on my handheld router, even my circular saw and jigsaw are cordless.
My planer is a DeWalt DW735 and I have no need for anything bigger. It’s been great I just always keep a couple extra sets of blades around.
I have a small jointer and it works for me but I’d love a bigger one just not sure I can justify it.
