Re: Is the Radial Arm Saw on its Last Legs?

A power tool is only as dangerous as its operator. There are
inherent dangers in all tools, household appliances,automobiles, etc. but lack of knowledge and carelessness are the primary causes of most accidents. I remember a poster in my high school Industrial Arts shop: "ACCIDENTS DON'T HAPPEN THEY ARE CAUSED" Singling out
the radial arm saw for a bad rap is undue criticism. I have
had a 10" Ward's Powerkaft radial arm saw for more than 30
years without incident. The one operation I will never do on
any radial arm saw is ripping--it is an accident waitng to
happen--fore armed is forewarned. I have however been knicked
on my right thumb by my 10" Delta cabinet saw--I did something stupid! I have used every spindle on my radial arm saw for just about every possible operation--never even been
knicked.
