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

Hard to cut steel plates on a CMS. Not so hard on a RAS.

Multiple shallow cuts, lowering the blade each time.

BTDT...many times.
