I saw this photo of a 36" blade Dewalt radial arm saw and had to share it. The arm is hydraulically controlled. It's actually available on my local craigslist but there are two problems:

1) It may not work on 110v
2) It is bigger than my entire shop

3) The railroad won't deliver telephone poles to your shop.

I'm guessing you might need just a wee bit more than 110v for that little guy;)

But hey, they didn't put it inside the shop either! All you have to do is put it against the outside wall and built a little overhand for it.....problem solved:D

Many years ago I worked in a shop with a 24" radial arm saw. I hated running it because after you turned it off, it was still spinning an hour later.

I wonder how it would do on picture frames?

All good comments. I think this would be also be handy for lap jointing doors and mitering frames for freeway signs. I might be on to an untapped niche.

Bill, that was funny, but if you were adding pictures to the face of the Washington Monument...................

I know a guy that is kinda like Tim Allen with tools. He would probably buy that to cut crown molding just in case he ever needed anything bigger.
