Hard to find good information on RAS Yes! But still a great tool. Do to life circumstances I was forced to move my Hobby shop from a full 2.5 car garage to a 10 X12 shed I just built over the summer. Of course lots of my tools are in storage and when I had to decide between the table saw and the RAS I chose the RAS. It can be used to replace many shop tools not just used for cutting. You can with a little set up time and care in use do anything on a RAS that you can do on a table saw, plus use it as a disc sander, you can mount a router on it to replace the router table, use it as a shaper, mount a drill chuck on it. Yes table saws are generally quicker to set up and safer to use but with the right care RAS can be a great shop asset. Specially when your shop is small.
