: I would like to buy a good saw for all around home
: use. Problem is I don't know whether a Radial Arm
: Saw or a Table Saw would be the best choice. Could
: anyone who has worked with both advise me? I was
: under the impression that pulling the saw over the
: work would be safer than pushing the work over the
: saw. Also if possible please advise me regarding
: a good brand name of saw.

Without question I would go the table saw route. Easier to set up and maintain for square cuts. Much more versatile and is safer if you use a little common sense. Delta makes an excellent model Get at least a 10" with a good fence.
