If it were me I'd get a decent table saw AND a miter saw. The two should be
purchaseable for about what you'd pay for a radial saw. Of particular
concern with the table saw is the fence...it should be sturdy, adjust easily
and - most important - be repeatable; i.e., it should ALWAYS lock parallel
to the blade.


Ditto. My first big tool was a Craftsman RAS. Now I also have a table saw and
a compound miter saw... which are the two that get used the most. My RAS mostly
exists as a surface to lay things on. But I hate to get rid of anything I've
bought, so I keep the thing.
