Thank you all for the helpful advice. Please, keep them coming if there is
more to learn.

Some of you have indicated once you've bought a table saw you no longer
use your RAS. Though, I do have a table saw, but only a portable one,
which does well. I am looking for the RAS for easier options such as
dadoing and to eliminate changing blades whenever a differnet cut is
needed. Also, I don't have a large shop area. Specifically, it's about 22
ft x 9 ft. It's a fraction of my garage. My garage is deep and wide enough
to keep two cars and two motorcycles in there and also have my little
shop, which is sectioned off. This is why I have a portable table saw
since it's easier to move around. But regardless, I like the idea of
having other options and quick changes for other cuts.

If anyone is willing to provide advice on saw blades, I'd like to learn a
bit about them to provide a multifunctional shop. Or, perhaps it would be
better for me to start another post.

Thanks again.


With a good TS and a Forrest WWII blade you will rarely have to change
blades except to cut dados.
I have a WWII blades that I use for 99% of all cuts I have a crap blade
for crap wood and a dado set.
