I added a Craftsman TS in 1983 and the RAS only collected dust from that
point on.

IMHO they are marginally better than a skil saw. I would advise getting a
better brand RAS if you are dead set on getting one over a typical TS.


I bought a Craftsman RAS as my first big tool back around 1992. My biggest
complaint was how easy it was to stop the blade and pop a circuit breaker. Once
I bought a Ridgid table saw I seldom used the RAS any more.
