[BlindHandyMan] Radial Arm Saw verses Sliding Compound Mitor Saw

2008-09-17 Thread Ralph Supernaw
Hi, I am contemplating my next saw purchase. I have a 10 inch table saw. It seems to me a radial arm saw would be superior to a sliding compound miter saw because of its greater capacity and flexibility. The sliding compound miter saw would likely be less expensive. What other pros and

A sliding compound miter saw is a lot more accurate. If you already have a table saw which is also more accurate than a radial arm saw for ripping and a lot safer then about the only thing you will use a radial arm saw for is cross cutting. Now that some miter saws also have depth control for

My radial saw is stationary, and my sliding compound miter is portable on wheels. Both are fine and cut the same width, but the miter saw is more versatile. I can't rip a long board on the miter as the radial I can set at 90 degrees and rip length wise. It depends what you all want to do

Hi, Ralph: Another function that the radial arm saw can do is the ability to add an adjustable chuck to it and use as a drill press or add a buffing wheel or wire brush wheel to clean and polish things. I had a Craftsman 10 radial arm saw and it did all that. Tom _ From:

Would you please elaborate on what makes a radial arm saw less accurate than a sliding miter saw? One major reason I am considering these two saws is that I have an aweful time cutting accurate miters with my table saw. Ralph _ From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL

The reason there is less accuracy with a radial arm saw is the saw blade motor is suspended on a beam, which is turn is mounted to a vertical shaft which cranks up and down. The motor also slides back and forth on the beam. All these various support items for the saw itself contributes to less

I've had both and now only have the sliding miter saw. I don't know if I'm giving up much width with the miter, I can cut about 16 inches with mine. If I have to get much wider than that I'll either use the table saw or the circular saw. I am one that doesn't buy into the danger of one

Just to add to what Tom has said here, you can certainly cut very accurate angles on a table saw but not usually with the standard miter gauge sold with the saw or even an after-market or third party gauge unless it is a fairly expensive one, in the range of a couple of hundred bucks or more.
