I can appreciate the beauty in a RAS, but they scare the ******************** out of me! Especially something like yours with no brake.
But that is just me. Really neat saw! Did it take any work or was it ready to go?
A while back i got to tour a gentlemens mill shop who does some work for the company i work for. He had i believe a Monarch Unipoint 16". Man what a gorgeous saw. Said it was a $14,000 saw. Looked scary lol.

Thanks for the video. It is nice to see someone else thinks that a heavy duty RAS is a fine machine. I have a 12" and as you I use it for crosscutting and dadoes. IMO it is not any more dangerous than any other saw, if used correctly with the knowledge or where it can injure you.
The millwork shop I used to work in had a 14" Delta that was taken pretty good care of and an 18" DeWalt that was more of a beater, but with a little work on the bottom of the motor housing it was able to crosscut 5- 6"x6" at once. I do remember the blade being a little pricey to replace.
i had one of those but, I believe it had the longer arm, could crosscut 25" at one inch and was a great saw
