Radial arm saw versus miter saw

[Larry Foster]

Thanks for that info, Steve.

I'm still pondering all the pros and cons and haven't made a decision.

Weather is supposed to moderate for a few days so I'd like to get out in the shop and review spacing.

I have a Warm Morning pot belly coal stove in a corner that takes a lot of space and, surprising to me, makes very little heat.
If I take it out, the RAS may fit there.
Also, that would put it by the big doors so I could open them if I needed to do longer stuff.

Boy!
That saw is heavy to even roll around.

Get rid of them all and buy a short stroke Euro slider, maybe even with a built in shaper. Save space, increase your capacity and accuracy.

That's what I did for a small basement shop, haven't looked back since.........Rod.

Thanks for the suggestion, Rod.

Perhaps if I had known about these things before I bought (or had for years) all this other stuff.
Without knowing exactly what a short stroke Euro slider is, I'm guessing it's out of my budget.

Wanted to update.
I decided to keep the RAS for now.
I moved it near my big door so I could handle longer stuff.
I
Also keeping the Dewalt non-slider due to it's mobility and quick set up and compact storage.

Over the last few days I had it and my table saw set up and it's a little tight getting around.

Length wise I was sort of okay but width is at a premium

Thanks for all your input
