Anything but a RAS.
I just can't see any reason to have a blade whirring away on the end of
a wobbly arm, looking for a piece of material to grab and zing it across
the shop.... including an arm.
Too damned dangerous for my liking. I have always hated RAS's. I have
used many over the years... I am cautious around all tools, but I only
fear one...the RAS....radial ARM saw....
I turn it on... it ramps up to speed and looks at me...I know it wants a
body part....
Everybody, at one time or another, has their mind drift away from the
task at hand. The RAS will take full advantage and shred your flesh as
it crawl up the length of your arm...making sure NO plastic/neuro
surgeon will ever put any of that back together.
Did I mention that I don't like RAS's?

========================
Even though I have owned a RAS for over 40 years and that I still use
it.. I can not say that it am in any way in love with the saw...far
from it ...it works with enough accuracy for the tasks I assign it...

BUT ... I do think your comments are a little overboard,,
