I am new to owning a radial arm saw. I have a 70's Craftsman 10 inch, 2.75 HP, yard sale item. Great saw but seems short on power. I put a blade on it when I got it and it needs another now. I always heard these need a different pitch blade from a table saw or a compound miter saw because it cuts from the opposite direction of table and miter saws. It grabs a lot, locks up even with a new blade. Hard to feed smoothly. I tried at my local lumberyard to buy a special blade but all my sources only have the same blade as for a 10 inch table saw. Ready for another and would like a better choice.
