Musings on Radial Arm Saws

I get a lot of questions about my radial arm saws one of the big ones is why do I have so many? I think what it comes down to is I just think they look cool. I don't know that they're any better than a good compound miter saw I just like the way they look. I also think you get more for your money buying the older tools. I go over safety then talk about blades and the negative hook angle. I go over each saw and what I use it for and how much I paid for it. I talk about jerking the blade on smaller size and smooth cut of largest size. This is due to the strength of the motor and the momentum of the blade.
