The Craftsman 10" Radial Arm Saw was not as accurate as I wanted it to be.
Too much wiggle, etc.
However in a fixed position it is rock solid.
I installed a Delta Table Saw table sideways under the arm. There is a very accurate slide table mounted upon the Delta table.
I now have a 3 in 1 saw: a crosscut saw, a rip saw, and if necessary (for long stock dado crosscuts), a RAS.
how does this rip tool react on a jamb up?
how does it handle a board that is slightly twisted?
i would be apprehensive on doing dato's on that. the stock is sandwiched, so that makes it dangerous.
great idea for a combo saw, but looks dangerous. the stock has no place to go. bottom line, i like what you did here, but it doesn't look like a safe tool to use. what i really like is that you have two tools in one. space saver!!!

you could also turn your board over on a tablesaw to bevel both directions.
