I actually tried to do that when I moved into my temporary shop. But alas, too much of what I do really did need a table saw. I prefer a slider and will get back to that once I have a building up and am "making do" with a cabinet saw that I was able to squeeze in for the moment. I love my track saw a whole bunch and use it a whole bunch in my current situation, But it's not the best for solid stock. Don't assume that the CNC is going to just be focused on sheet goods, either. Most of what I cut with mine is solid material.
