The concept of Radial arm saws being unsafe has been created by people using table saw blades on arm saws. THIS IS WRONG! You need to look up the specs of blades, they are often not on the package. If you use an arm saw that wants to "pull itself" through the wood, than you probably have the wrong blade.
An Arm saw is great for your personal garage when there is no room for a table saw, but in a real shop, I want both. Arm for mostly 90 degree cross cuts. Set up with a good fence, you can go to town and cut 100 2x4's to length and only need to measure once when you start.
