Re: Off Topic Question: What do you listen to?

I listen 99% to WCPE 89.7 fm, the Classical Station, from Wake Forest, NC. If you can't get it on your radio try theclassicalstation.org. This ststion is 100% listener supported. It gets no money from government, educational organizations or NPR.

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

Yes, I think the RAS is on the way out but not because it is not a great woodworking machine but because few people know how to use one properly. Also, one popular brand is such inferior quality it should not be available.
I have a 9" Dewalt RAS I bought in 1960 and still use it regularly. It was the only power woodworking machine I had for about 25 years. I used it to crosscut, rip, shape, joint, sand and drill. I have never had an accident with it. I don't consider myself a master craftsman, just a woodworking hobbyist, but I have made some furniture I think most woodworkers would think is pretty good.
Like all woodworking equipment it is not foolproof. If you take all the guards off and use it recklesly you may be able to win a $1.5 million dollar lawsit.
