After a multi-year hiatious in woodworking due to lack of a suitable shop, I finally have some space to work.

As I organize the space - building storage and installing a dust collector, I'm reminded that my old table saw is a horrible machine...really bad fence and a blade that wanders from 90 degrees.

I want to build a CNC router and explore how it can be used in building furniture - but...I've been trying to decide whether I purchase a new TS first...then the router. Or do I go for the router first?

With a CNC router, is the table saw still the center of the shop? Or with a CNC router, does the focus change? For those that have had a CNC router for a while, what are the other tools that get heavy use?

I've been looking at the SawStop PCS - but do I stick with a really bad table saw and invest in CNC first?
