I "inherited" (the price was right anyhow

) one of those old Craftsman Radial Arm Saws. Yup the old killler made by Emerson

. While it isn't beat to death by far I'm sure it has seen a better day or two. I have a (cheap) TS but I'm thinking about using the RAS as a dedicated Daido unit (I have a 1/2 decent stack set). I would appreciate your thoughts, or experiences on RAS's and especially on use for daido's.
BTW the RAS (at least mine) really sucks for ripping.
TIA
