Uses for radial arm saw

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


My father died 2 years ago and he had a craftsman radial arm saw. I am trying to decide what to do with this saw. I know that you can't get much for themif you try to sell them. I am considering keeping it and putting it in my new shop, but I don't want to keep it just for the sake of keeping it.

Can anyone tell me what they use their radial arm saw for. I have a compound miter saw but it is not a sliding saw, so I guess I could use the radial saw for making larger miter cuts but I'm not sure I need to make those cuts that often. So, if you have a radial saw can you tell me if you find it useful? Also, I seem to recall readingthat radial arm saws are more dangerous than a table saw although I'm not sure why. Please enlighten me on the safety aspects of the radial saw if you know anything about it.

Thanks
