I've got my heart set on a used radial arm saw. I know they have sort of gone out of fashion but I still want one. The problem is, I don't have a lot of money to spend on one. There are lots of Sears Craftsman around for between 100 and 250 dollars, but I'm having my doubts I will be happy with that. I was in Sears the other day and looked at a brand new one, I put my hand on the handle and it seemed to me that there was a lot of play and not just in one direction either. Can this play we adjusted out when I get it home? Are the older saws any better? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance for anyones comments.
