I don't think you will find such a chuck for your saw. Most radial arm
saw arbors (left-hand threaded shaft that the saw blades are attached
to) rotate in the wrong direction for conventional router bits. Also,
most such motors rotate at about 3450 rpm, which is about one third to
one sixth of the speed router bits are designed for. Years ago, one
manufacturer (PowerKraft?) made a RAS that could use router bits, but
it used a geared shaft on the opposite side of the motor that ran at
about 18,000 rpm.


The chuck threads on to the right hand side of the motor, not the arbor
side. I have one and used the RAS and chuck and drill bit as a horizontal
boring machine.
