Not meaning to disagree with anyone, but I've been using a RAS for decades and when well set up there's no slop and its as accurate as any tool in the workshop. Most complaints about the RAS arise from using a poorly set up example, so if you do buy it, Jim, get a copy of the Mr. Sawdust book to aid setup.
A bit of a beast Jim.
May end up selling this machine ... I thought that this was the answer to my blank cutting, but i now realise i kidded myself and that the bandsaw does all what i need ...
