Ditto and I wouldn't part with mine either. Sure beats a table saw

Yeahbut, I so prefer my SCMS over any radial arm saw for this type
of work.

One area where a RAS beats the SCMS is when crosscutting dadoes.

Up to the point where you're working with extremely wide boards, I don't see
this being the case. I can easily set the depth of my SCMS to plow dados up
to 14" wide.

I don't believe that the arbor on my DeWalt 12" SCMS is long enough to
mount a dado blade, unlike the RAS.

I suppose one could make repeated cuts with the SCMS, but not on a 14"
wide panel side.
