Re: Is the Radial Arm Saw on its Last Legs?
I am not a woodworker by profession but I have been working
posted: 11:51 am on May 20thwith wood and woodworking tools for around thirty years,I was first introduced to the radial arm saw when I was around
fifteen years old and I'm now forty-five years old.The RAS
in my opinion has it's place in the wood shop,it may not be
as conveinent as a compound miter saw but it can hadle bigger peices of lumber,I have even ripped plywood on the
RAS.My father had both a table saw and a RAS and I can't
recall us ever using the table saw,we always used the RAS.
If I were going to make repeated cuts on a stack of lumber I personally would use my RAS over anything else in
my shop.Unlike a table saw where you have to push the wood
into the blade a RAS moves the saw blade into the lumber and
it is visible,table saws are sneaky,if your not careful it
can bite you.Please don't misunderstand me,a table saw also
has it's place in the wood shop and I own both a RAS and a
table saw.
