Re: What Ever Happened to the Radial Arm Saw?

The Craftsman 12" radial arm saw on the first photo is the same saw I've been using for twenty plus years in the center of a 24' table. Usually use it to cut large/rough boards to size, dado lap joints and use the wire wheel on the right side for cleaning things up. Don't use it too much for anything else since I have an 8-1/4" Ryobi radial arm, 12" Milwaukee slider, Hitachi 12", DeWalt 12", Makita 10" and a few others. The 12" Craftsman radial arm seems to be the best saw for dadoing 4x4s and other large pieces. I went from a small 24x24' shop years ago to a 40x60' shop, now everything has it's place, and...I seem to accumulate more "stuff" with the extra room!
