Initial Woodworking Tools

I'm a beginning woodworker. Below is a list of woodworking power tools. Please list in order those which I should buy first to allow me or any beginning woodworker to get the most woodworking abilities out of the tools bought.

10" contractor's table saw 6" variable speed bench jointer
12 1/2" portable planer 9" band saw 2" pneumatic brad nailer small air compressor
1/2" router 10" drill press 10" compound miter saw plate joiner


---------------------

Get yourself a good table saw, start making sawdust and then reassess your needs. Remove the 9" bandsaw from your considerations. 14" is the minimum for doinging resaw work IMO.

A good 6 inch jointer (doesn't need to be variable speed) and planer would be my second and third choices. Some folks would argue that the bandsaw should be high on the list, depends what kind of projects or resaw work you want to do. . Airnailer and compressor would be at the bottom of my list.
