John, a radial arm saw will not do as many angle functions. It will take a bigger cross-cut than a miter saw. A radial arm saw is accurate on cutoffs and ripping lengthwise and can be set up very fast for those and also doing dado work. The miter saw will cut bevel angle cuts and can be

Al, some radial arm saws can have a 4 foot draw for cutting a full 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood. Average used to be around 18 to 20 inches with a better than 2 foot deep table top. ..bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

A standard miter can cut the width of the blade or part of that width as some goes beyond the fence. A sliding compound can get close to 16 inches in some cases. I have a 12 inch model and I'm between 15 and 16 inches in cross cut width. - Original Message - From: Alan Terrie
