If I had that maybe my opinions would be different, In most situations I've worked a saw horse or a dead man is about all I've had for a feed table. Currently at PTC the radial arm saw sits next to the wall dividing two bay openings so a feed table is out of the question, there is a saw in the VERY BACK of the shop that works similar to the radial arm just with no vertical movement but I really don't like it because it takes about 2 minutes from the time you shut it off till the blade finally stops moving. So yah in the end table saw it is for me for most situations. It doesn't hurt that the table saw has good pushers that manage to actually stay by the saw and it has an accurate measure tape on it so I don't have to mark or measure at all, just set the saw and let'er rip.
