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

I've lost track of how many Radial Arm saws I've owned over the years. I keep thinking I can live without it and it eats up a fair amount of my small shop.
I vowed the last time I bought a RA saw it would be my last.
I love it for making half laps.
I've sent some smaller boards flying with an aggressive bite with a 3/4" dado. While "Norm" pulls back with ease when he's half-lapping green wood.
It's an expensive tool with only limited uses, but I've found out I can't make some cuts without it.
It's like selling your pickup and thinking you can make do...

It can't be done.
