Default Help Me Figure Out How to Do This

Yeah! I'm thinking I'm going to have a cordless drill moment, the first
time I run a sheet of plywood through it... ""How did I ever survive
without this!?" :-)

Problem is, I think I have to sell the radial arm saw just to have room.
But I figure, with the room, this thing will do whatever the RAS did.



I used a RAS to build half the furniture in my home from 1979 to
1983. Then I got a TS and the RAS sat for 4 years before I garage
saled it.


Cross-cutting 12' long, 8" wide, 8/4 boards is no fun on the table saw.


When you're in a single-car garage, and the footprint of a RAS is about
5x5, unless you're cutting those every day, it's not worth it to give up
the space, when a decent dross-cutting jig can do it.
