Ridgid, Porter cable, DeWalt, Delta, Milwaukee, these are good tools for all of your needs. Unfortunately, most all do only one thing.
The drill press is about the only tool that you might get by with a reduced size model. For the others get the best you can afford. For the table saw, you might want to read this write up from Wood Magazine.
There is also a video from The New Yankee Workshop on a garage workshop that you might benefit from. It is available at the site below.
my shop is in my garage and is only 11 x 25…most of my machines are on wheels..
table saw is a rigid with a knock down roll away stand…
miter saw is a porter-cable 12 in. 10 in. slider would work but costs more
planer is a 13 in. rigid
jointer is a grizzly 6 in.
dust collector is my shop vac
jet overhead dust filter for the fine dust particles
band saw is a 14 in. grizzly
drill press is a craftsman
workbench is homemade…
got a craftsman combo 6 in. belt and 12 in. disk sander
