the work piece at the thickest point of the bevel, thus minimizing tearout.

With a traditional setup and a left-tilting blade, you can make accurate, clean bevel cuts on wide work pieces. The width of your work piece is severely limited if you have a right-tilting blade and move your fence to the left of the blade to make the cleaner cut.

One Last Word on Radial Arm Saws

I will disagree with most of the statements Mr. Wilbert Freid of Sarasota, Fla., made in defending the radial arm saw in the June issue. Yes, a radial arm has an anti-kickback feature and a blade guard. But the majority of all new table saws have basically the same blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback features. If your table saw doesn't have these features, they are easily purchased through catalogs or tool suppliers. It is just so much safer to rip on the table saw.

Making square crosscuts cuts on the radial arm requires attention to detail. Because the saw's carriage rides on an arm projecting across the table, any slight bump of the arm will cause the blade to go out of square. It usually takes several minutes to readjust the saw. On the table saw, adjustment to the miter gauge takes only seconds.

The only real advantages the radial arm saw has are with specialty operations, such as using moulding head cutters for raised panels, or attaching a drill chuck for drum sanding. To me though, the greatest advantage the radial arm saw has is the ability to attach a dado head cutter. With this it is possible to cut dados in wide and long material without having to move the material during the cut. It is also possible to easily cut compound dados with the radial arm saw.

While radial arm saw users might love their machine, I do suggest they learn to love their table saw. The table saw is your best friend in the shop. PW
