Re: Is the Radial Arm Saw on its Last Legs?
I say get rid of them. There are far better options. At best, these saws were intended for cross cutting. Yes, you can do lots of other things with them with the right accessories (I did), but seldom at a high level of precision. It may be that the RA never reached its potential given that they were sold largely to hobbyists and DOY types (yep, that's me too), and as a result were often cheaply made. I packed mine away long before I could afford my first good table saw as I could do most of the cutting I needed with a portable circular saw and a good straight edge. I'm just glad that at this stage of my life, all ten of my digits are present and whole.
