I am trying to get back into woodworking. I have some good equipment including a decent 12" miter saw. However, it would be nice to have a SMS. I love older equipment so in my mind I have been wondering about the Radial Arm Saws (RAS). I don't have a big area for a shop but a SMS take some space - so perhaps a good smaller Dewalt or Delta RAS would be a option.
It would be just a cross cutter/angle cutter in liue of the SMS. I know ripping on them could be dangerous due to kick back but I thought perhaps with a negative kerf blade they might be a good alternative to a SMS.
What do you think?
