Bought my radial arm saw in 1966 when I was 15 and it was my only stationary tool - crosscut, rip, sand, drill, router, shaper (did I miss anything?) With a belt sander, scroll/jig saw, hand drill and pipe clamps I made furniture and cabinets. It was 30 years later that I started to replace the saws special functions with a table saw, drill press, router table, sanding center, shaper, etc (I do have to admit these new tools are a lot safer to use than the radial arm attachments.)
