I don't usually jump on the tracksaw band wagon.  For the projects you mention and the space you have I would go that way.  It is possible that the tablesaw could set out most of what you have planned.

I love my drill press but again, with the projects you mention I would put it way down on the list.  Tracksaw your panels, chopsaw your trim and free hand route your profiles and you have made your 10 x 10 shop a lot bigger ;-)

Thanks.  I was thinking along the same lines as you.  I'm just trying to decide if I should get a better TS and try and do all cutting on that, or the track saw route.  I would love the Makita or Festool Track Saw, but the Grizzly pricing saves me some money to put towards a router and material for projects.
