I too must vote for the radial arm saw. I currently have two. A 1977 Rockwell which only got replaced because of the shortish arm length. It rip a sheet of plywood down the middle, yes, even with the fence in the rear position. My other saw is a Craftsman which was given to me by a friend who thought he needed the room for other things. The best part is that now he comes over to "visit" more often, but he always needs to "borrow" my saw. Tune your saw at the beginning of every project and you'll never have trouble. Hold down's and fingerboards are a must, but the ones frome the router table work just fine. The only type of saw that I do not now, nor have I ever owned is a table saw. I would probably cut myself with one of those. They LOOK dangerous with the blade stickin up at you like that. ;~) Yep 10 fingers on me.
