RAS and CMS don't really do the same job. Any cut that a CMS can do
an RAS should be able to do but to get it precise there's more setup

really well, but that's all it does.


That said - and I won't disagree with anything John has said, I just don't
find the need for anything more than my tablesaw and my compound miter.
Well, except for may a good set of torches... But then again, I'm not a
production facility.
