Clones Of Dewalt Radial Arm Saws

[pollys13]

Are there any alternatives to the Dewalt radial arm saws available in the UK?
Thanks.

How about wadkin, Omga, Shopsmith and Eummenia. Avoid Itech as seen on the bay as that is expensive Chinese crap

Why do you want a clone and not an original?

I have the Wadkin ROS, which is superb, accurate and built like a tank. I bought secondhand for around £350, and it just needed a new wooden top for the table, strip and clean / setup which took half a day. There isn't really anything to go wrong with them.

Clones can be just as good and less expensive.

I'm assuming 3 phase?

Elu produced a radial arm saw at one time as did Ryobi.

My biggest missed opportunity was not getting one when DeWalt bought Elu back in the early 1980s - the RAS were being remaindered (new) at our local repair depot.

ISTR the early DW ones were rebadged/repainted Elu ones.

I was reading some of the Ryobi ones were recalled for safety reasons.
