Purchase yourself a copy of the Mr. Sawdust book "How To Master The Radial
Saw" and you won't have to waste your money on a worthless TS.

I'm going to keep it...but still can't help but drool over the
high-end table saws, like a kid in a candy store.

My favorite commercial was a guy in the toy store walk down isle with
kid. Kid keeps grabbing things off shelf and father takes them away
putting them back and saying "...you can't have that...leave it
alone...we got to go...". Then he stops. There on shelf is a truck
(chevy? ford?) that is wrapped up like a toy. All they guy says is
"....ooooooh".

Dooler notes:

Just got a magazine on woodworking (and drooling at all the tools).
One thing that is consistent every place I look is that RAS are not
that popular and all How-To's always show table saws.


There are problems with radial arm saws that do not exist with table
saws,
mostly in the area of adjustments. There is also utility that doesn't
exist
with table saws. I'm not sure the two counterbalance, but were I you, I'd
hang
onto the old Craftsman RAS.

There are fewer companies manufacturing consumer level radial arm saws
today
than ever: Craftsman; Delta; Ridgid. I believe that's it. All the rest
(about
four makers) are producing pro level saws that are very pricey.
