Default radial arm saw vs. compound miter saw

You need to buy (or at least borrow) one or the other depends on the
type of task you'd need. Both works differently. Table saws work
perfectly when cutting huge pieces of wood especially plywood but if
you need to have angled cuts, the RAS works better. Maybe it will do
you good to read something like the link below to fully understand,
too.

Cutting miters on a TS is no problem at all for the experienced and with
a decent miter gauge. I have no problem cutting miters at all with my
TS and Incra miter gauge.

And with a sled, like the Dubby, miters on a TS are easy even for a novice.
