Impressive.
Much as just a bit more CC would be nice, often I have thought that my little Delta 900 RAS is plenty big enough for me from a safety / ease of use point of view.

I never even knew they made a saw that fricking big!!!
Doesn't scare me though.
Maybe after it fired up I'd be a little scared though.

Can't tell for sure, but it looks like you move the carriage with the crank. What could be safer than that? You don't even get close to the spinny part.

there is really nothing to be scared of you do control the cut with the crank handle so it is not like you have to pull the carriage along like smaller saws.
I have a friend who has a 16" and I have a 12" RAS. I find the bigger they are the easier they are to control

I have a 18" Comet RAS mounted on a tow-behind trailer. It cuts just like any other RAS, just have to control the feed.

This has been my experience exactly.

In the last shop I worked at we had a 36 inch and 42 inch radial arm saw. Both were chain drive with a crank and were timber saws. Custom blades were $500 to $600.

Nice but way too big for me.
