Resistance is futile.
With a tablesaw and a Sliding Compund Miter Saw you can already do about anything that an RAS can do.
Plus you need the space in the shop for a storage cabinet. :gar-Bi
Now that the RAS is out of your head......drum sander, drum sander......

dados are so much easier on the RAS than the tablesaw. and not possible with a Sliding Compund Miter Saw. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

PS: You need a drum sander too!
I'd like to comment on those that believe that cutting dados on an RAS is easier than on a table saw. I disagree -- you are limited to the length of the RAS travel and there is no way to protect against tearout in the stock. I use a Zero Clearance Insert in my table saw and I can cut dados of any length and to an exact depth every time. I even cut stopped dados and finish the cut with either chisels or with a small plunge router equipped with a small radius bit. Cutting short through dados is fine on an RAS, but I often cut them longer than 18 inches.
+1 on the dado's being easier on a RAS! If that thing was just a little closer to me,:icon_scra I'd be on it in a heartbeat. My buddy's looking for a replacement for his old Ryobie.
