Anybody do any lumber ripping on their radial arm?
Since my table saw bit the dust, and I'm low on funds, I've been eyeing my radial arm saw for ripping.
I must say that I do love using my Festool circular saw for anything I can come up with, but ripping with it is a bit slow.
Anyone out there really do any ripping with their RAS?
It's always funny ... until somebody gets hurt ;-)
Three words, here (or is it two ?): anti-kickback pawls. Don't leave home/rip without 'em !

Critical ? I dunno. One more safety measure, though.
