Table saw, miter saw, and drill driver. Kreg jigs are very useful, noteably the pocket hole jig. The track saw jig is a nice tool, but not great.

You are way underestimating the usefulness of a table saw.

You can buy S4S material fairly easily, so a planer is not critical.

Cheap routers work fine for limited usage.

Another thing I used a ton for cabinets and trim is a staple gun.

I guess a table saw might be worth replacing the router table on the list. A little too pricey to get both. I could get by with my current router to do the limited rounding over I plan to do.

My reasoning was that I had seen a lot of people getting by pretty easily with just the track saws. Also dont absolutely need dado joints, but figured I could get it done with the router as I'd like to include them. Sound like table saw is very useful though.
