the only advantage of radial arm saws over a cms seems to be the ability

they also are a little more squirrely and i would not say they require

would not consider buying a radial arm saw but maybe they still have a
place in the woodshop

if they do how do they fit in

The radial arm saw can also rip. A miter saw, slider or not, can not.
Also, when not in use the radial arm saw provides more storage/assembly area.
