I am thinking of building the raised panel solid wood cabinets for a new house next year. The power tools necassary will not be used after this endevor for a productive woodworking business.

Would you have any specific recomendations for outfitting a shop with the necassary effective power tools but nothing excessive in relationship to price or features. Table saw, jointer, planner, belt sanding, shaper, dust collector etc.

I am trying to get a gauge for how much this could cost me versus contracting it out, recognizing that after that fact I would have a well equipted hobby shop and the satifaction of doing this my self.
