Default Downsizing

I don't have as much shop space any more, as my shop now has to share
duties with a garage.

So between a bandsaw, jointer, planer, RAS, table saw, and circular saw,
what tools can be combined to cover the basic operations we need to do?
Crosscut, rip, and maybe resaw. I'm not sure I trust my RAS to rip,
it's missing important pieces like the anti-kickback pawls.


Lose the RAS and table saw, get a track saw. Lose the jointer as it is
not needed much unless you use rough cut lumber. Planer is cool but
probably can get by w/o it. A lot depends on what you do in your shop.
Seems you would know best since it is your shop and presumably has been
in use by you.

Ask Roy Underhill and he'd tell you you don't need any of that crap.
Myself, I'd not give up one tool just to put a damned car in my garage.
