Thanks everybody. I was sort of thinking the RAS would be redundant
but I figured I should at least ask. I know I don't really have the
room but I would have made the room if most people in here thought it
would have been a good idea but, well, only one or two were really
high on the idea. And I was worried about the accuracy and how the
saw would hold its settings since I have heard that RASs are quite
finicky. Based upon what Larry said, it seems that two of the three
weren't really worth it anyways. I will save my money and look for a
good, used SCMS because, like somebody said, there are a lot of guys
who got bored with woodworking and a lot of widows trying to clean out
the garage.
