I vote for keeping the RAS. I have owned one for 40 years and as I have read some of the replies above, it is just like any other tool. If you have a need for it, then you will keep it. If you don't, then you will vote for extinction. I only use mine for 90 degree cuts no matter if crosscutting or tenoning. works great and highly accurate. All RAS's are not created equal. If you own a well made older one, then it's a keeper, even if you don't use it every day. The only new one I have seen of quality is the Original RAS. However, this is industrial quality, and believe me, I talk to this company and they are very busy hand making these right now. I always say if you want to know the truth about something, just ask the people who make them.
