While scrounging on Craig's List, I found a couple old Dewalt Radial
Arm saws. One is pretty pricey at $325 but one is $85 and the other is only $70. Would it be worth it to purchase one of these or would I be better off with a good miter saw? I already have a Jet table saw, so my initial thoughts are that one of these would be redundant but the prices keep bringing me back. From what I understand, the Dewalt is one of the few radial arm saws that were really very good at keeping true. Or am I wrong? I don't know how much space would be eaten up by one of these but I don't think it would be ultra-terrible, is it? I "share" my garage with my car but even if I kept it outside all the time, I would need to put this on wheels because there is simply no room. Also, I do not know if things get all out of whack if I would move this thing all the time. Would it be worth it to go after one of these things or am I just thinking stupidly?
