Is my Shop-Vac a stationary power tool ?? :)
I think my time when working solid wood would be as follows:
1/ bandsaw
2/ jointer
3/ tablesaw
4/ drillpress
If I'm working sheet stock then the bandsaw and jointer don't enter
into the equation much. Thickness planer would be on the list but I'm
waiting to get 230 volts in my basement shop... for now, the armstrong
planes are still in play.

2. 10" table saw
3. Router table
4. 6" jointer
5. Bandsaw
Other stationary equipment includes:
1. Drill press
2. Radial router
3. chop saw
4. dust collectors - always on

What sort of stuff do you build?
Here's my list. The first four are the most used, and I'm not sure what
order they should be listed in:
1) 10" Table saw
2) 14" Band saw with riser block
3) Oscillating drum sander
4) 12" Drill Press
5) 6 x 36" Belt/Disk sander
6) 10/20" Drum sander
7) 13" planer
8) 9" Radial arm saw (actually, I never use this any more)

Which is the extent of my stationary tools. What does your list look
like?
Let's see now. You want to tell what your top used stationary
tools are - and then proceed to list every stationary tool you own.
What kinda sense does that make?
Anyway, I've got you beat, I've got all those, plus a lathe,
grinder, belt/disc sander, and a planer. Nyah.

Depends on what I'm into at the time.
THE MOST used in terms of time is the JoinTech Cabinet
Maker System - router table with precision positionable
fence that has replaceable zero clearance fence inserts.
Use it with templates for through and half blind dovetails,
finger/box joints, sliding dovetail joints, dados, rabbets/
rebates, cope & stick/raised panels, chamfers, round
over-ing, making molding, beading, fluting, ....
Spend more actual time on a JET mini/midi VS lathe than
on the following which are used for stock prep
1. 12" SCMS - chop stuff up to approx length for stock prep
and final length or mitering. Use stops to get
parts that are supposed to be the same length to actually
be the same length (can't make rectangular things from
trapezoidal parts)
2. 12" joiner/jointer - one face flat then one edge straight
and square to flat face
3. 12" planer - get the other face flat and parallel to the first
flat face
4. 10" table saw - rip to width
Did four bonsai display tables last so spent a LOT of time
on M&T.
5. Mortising machine or mortising jig and router depending on
whether I'm going with through tenons or loose tenon M&T.
If I get into resawing then it's a lot of time on the bandsaw
followed by the drum sander.
So what gets used the most varies with the project.

Mine list looks something like this.

2) Cabinet Saw
3) Belt (48x6") and Disk (9") Sander
4) Router Table
5) Flap Sanding Machine
6) Router Table
7) Scroll Saw
8) Lathe
9) Band Saw
10) Borer
11)Thicknesser
and of course the compressor is on from the moment I enter the shed till
lights out. The Dust collector also gets a fair bit of use along with
the vacuum cleaner.

1st Radial Arm Saw: all solid stock first gets rough cut to length, also
finish cut to length here.
2nd Table Saw: most solid and all sheet stock ends up here eventually.
3rd Jointer: solid stock before thicknessing & thicknessed boards for a
jointed edge before finish width is cut on table saw.
4th Planer: many pases on many boards takes some time here.
5th Bandsaw: all bowl blanks, resawing, radius door parts, radius
aprons, and cyma curved stretchers come through here.
6th Lathe: table legs, finials, bowls, columns, spindles
7th Everything Else: scroll saws, drill press, oscillating spindle
sander, belt & disc sander, engraver, grinder, buffer.

Much the same here, except I have no table saw at all.
Frequency of powerswitch on/off:
1: radial arm
2: bandsaw + dust extractor (one operational unit in this shop)
3: over and under joiner/thicknesser
4: lathe
5: drillpress and grinder
Hours of use:
1: over and under joiner/thicknesser
2: bandsaw
3: lathe
4: radial arm saw
(rarely takes more than a few seconds; minutes at best for roughing lap
joints)

hmm... I can tell that I fit more in the woodturning group.. *g*
14" lathe
bandsaw
drill press
10" lathe
cutoff saw
Belt/disk sander
router table
RAS
That's assuming that the grinder and belt grinder wouldn't be "stationary"
tools... if you included them for sharpening, they'd probably be the 2nd or 3rd
on the list...
