If you are going to build anything of size. Built ins, doors, cabnets. Old school radials allow you to cross cut dado with ease. The fractional settings are are lockable and serve precise replication. Miter saws just don't have the capabilities a radial has. Here is a pic of an oldie but goodie of mine. Also a pic of a craftsman drill press I salvaged from a complete loss fire job I did 35 years ago. I cleaned and painted it up then and it still serves me today. It weighs about 250 pounds, original motor.

I’ve got a 3 car garage and we park the vehicles in the driveway. So space isn’t an issue. And I’ve got an electric dryer in the garage that I only use for my fire gear. So when I’m not washing work clothes, I’m sure I could borrow the outlet.

Any opinions on the Shopsmith? Is it as gimmicky as I fear it is (something that does everything ok but nothing really well)? Or a legit tool that does it all?

Negative on Shopsmith.....
