Hello Guys
I've been thinking an old radial arm saw would be very handy for wide crosscuts in the shop, or maybe out on the cold side near the major lumber storage for rough cutting to length.
I've noticed positive comments on the old Dewalt machines (and some not so positive). What is the difference between the Dewalt 740 and 770 models? I see a couple in the local classifieds, $200-350.
What should I look for when inspecting one for purchase?
Any comments or advice would be very welcome.
Thanks
Peter
