Reply to "power tools advice"

challenger3980OGR Forum Member

I do have a 10" radial arm saw which I think may be the most dangerous power tool about other than my chainsaw. Some of the things I've used it for scare me now looking back

The last sentence says it all, it is how you use the tool, not the tool itself that is/was dangerous. The Radial Arm Saw(RAS) is one of, if not THE most versatile tools in a shop. I LOVE my RAS, and if I could only afford, or have room for ONE tool, the RAS would win hands down over a table or miter saw, but those are also nice to have, and I'm not giving them up willingly

I think that the OP, was actually asking about small tools, such as what Micro-Mark offers for small scale modeling uses, not full size shop tools, Unfortunately I can't offer any advice from personal experience with the small tools.
