I got into vintage RAS's when I was working on a scrapbook-paper organizer for my wife. The thought of making a gazillion dado cuts on a Shopsmith first had me building a crosscut sled. But then I realized that dado cuts would ruin the sled for saw cuts. To me, a good RAS still seems like the best tool for dados.
Did you see the video Frank Howarth posted of his recently acquired, vintage radial arm saw. 16" blade, 5 hp 3 ph motor. :cool:
