It depends on the type of woodworking you do, but larger stationary tools like belt-fed drum sanders and 4'x8' capable CNC's take up a large amount of space. While they're extremely handy tools for some projects, it's hard to justify purchasing them unless you're running a decent business.

Cam at Blacktail Studio, who has a successful business and an impressive collection of quality tools, still rents time on the large machines at a different company. I'm not saying makerspaces are perfect, but unless you have a full size shop with 480V power there's always going to be some tools that make more sense to rent.
