  Radial arm saw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before the advent of the radial arm saw, table saws and hand saws were most commonly used for crosscutting lumber.
Table saws are ideal for ripping stock, but it is awkward to push a long piece of stock widthwise through a table saw blade.
When a radial arm saw is used, the stock remains stationary on the saw's table and the blade is pulled through the stock.

Cutting with the grain, known as a ripping cut is extremely dangerous on the radial arm saw and is better left to the table saw.
The size of the saw is determined by the diameter of the blades and the horsepower rating of the motor.
Thus the name of the saw, radial as is radi.

The saw should never be operated with the blade in a position where it protrudes or extends beyond the table.
Rotate the radial saw's head 90 degrees so that the blade is parallel to the fence and is clamped in position.
Radial arm saws used for crosscutting are pulled across the cutting area by means of a handle located to one side of the blade.

 Radial Arm Saw
The Radial Arm Saw is a good choice to cut both dadoes and miter cuts.
The saw arm can be swung into posisition, or an auxillary fence installed, thereby angling the stock into position.
Note that the saw has been angled to the left so that the blade will return far enough behind the fence and that the operator's hands are well clear of the cutting path.

 Popular Mechanics - Radial Arm Saw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Basic saw design consists of a column which controls the vertical movement of the blade, an arm which supports the saw carriage and controls miter angles, and a yoke that holds the motor and blade.
The greatest disadvantage of a radial-arm saw is that it requires a number of adjustments to keep it accurate.
Some saws are designed to be used on a bench, but many models include legs so you can set your saw up as a free-standing machine.

 Craftsman Professional 10 in. Radial Arm Saw, Stationary 22038 Review at Epinions.com
The radial arm saw’s abilities are often over promoted, in an attempt to place this saw as the ideal home woodworker’s solution to limited space.
A radial arm saw basically consists of a motor (rather like a handheld circular saw) suspended from a long arm, in a yoke, which permits multiple degrees of rotation freedom for the motor assembly.
Pulling the saw towards you is not the most comfortable experience, not in the least because the rotation of the saw blade is away from you.

 Radial Arm Saw Setup

 Craftsman Radial Arm Saw Recall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In some cases the saw motor is not compatible with the guarding system mounts and the bevel-index locking mechanisms and handles will not accommodate the trigger and handle assembly of the new guarding system.
These saws would have to be substantially rebuilt to permit the safe and proper attachment of a fully functional new guarding system.
When the radial arm saw is in the crosscut mode and behind the fence in the down position, the new guard ordinarily prevents the carriage from rolling forward of the fence and can also prevent inadvertent frontal contact with the blade.

or most radial arm saw operations, the stock is secured to the table and the saw cuts from above.
The power head hangs from an arm and is pulled across the work by the operator.
Because the blade rotates in the same direction that the power head is fed, the operator should have control when the machine is on to prevent the blade from "walking" across the stock.

I chose to mount the box to the wall behind the saw rather than to the saw itself.
Before I had this in place the dust simply blasted against the wall behind the saw and ended up in a big pile behind and under the saw where it was most difficult to get cleaned up.
By locating the box next to the saw pillar, the dust is directed into the box even when making miter cuts.

Whenever you buy a radial arm saw, you're going to have to spend some time setting it up and calibrating it, but this one seems to hold its adjustments better than most, and the cast-iron track, column, and column support offer rigidity and continued accuracy.
The larger radial arm saws are way too expensive, and from what I read, the miter saws are only good for through cuts, not measured depth cuts.
Radial arm saws are almost completely off the market now, except for high end units, so this is the about average consumer's only choice for these kind of cuts.
