I’m only an advanced novice, but I’ll bet you being a trim carpenter also have a fine compound miter saw. That’ll be very useful. Secondly, although Grizzly is Tiawan made don’t count them out. They have some fine machinery.

Now to the point. You’d do well to procure a fine band saw that’ll resaw somewhat wide boards and has bearing guides. Next a jointer and planer will be useful, But a router and table need to be considered early.

So yes step by step purchases is wise as you can come to afford them. Your current table saw will be sufficient until some of the other tools are possessed. And by all means you’re gonna need to upgrade to 220v single phase very early as many of the most heavy duty machines will require it. And don’t forget dust collection; a lagre capacity shop vac will suffice for awhile.

Plan your shop layout and don’t try to exceed its bounds and cramp yourself. This is my $0.02.
