Stick away from Radial Arm saw. Unless you are a skilled user and even then they can be a bit dangerous.
A Radial arm saw is a bench mounted big saw on a overhead boom so to speak. It actually cuts thru the wood the opposite of a hand held circular saw, or miter saw. It cuts pulling toward yourself. If you ever get Home Depot or Lowes etc to cut boards shorter for you, it is likely they will use a radial arm saw with big roller outfeed tables on each side. Not to be confused with a panel saw that they put things like plywood on a vertical table and pass the saw which is held in a track thru the wood to make straight cuts like for shelving or to put bigger pieces in small cars etc.

Although when I was a kid in middle school wood shop, I used a radial arm saw, lathe, band saw, scroll saw, drill press and router bits to make a number of projects. I was a natural from an early age.

Tony speaks the troof. Compound Miter saws are the shiz.

What chili said sums it up.
More of a non portable high production saw.
The compound miter is moveable though. Mine is 51 pounds.
Just last week I carried it up from the cellar to make some tricky cuts.
It was a nice day so I did the cutting outside.
 
This is cool stuff! I was just starting to get the hang of guitar, and now a whole new world to conquer! Luckily, I can mix them together. Get your cabs here!!!!
 
HAHA,,, Not exactly, Frank.
My CHOP saw is used to cut metal like rebar, wall studs, steel and or aluminum items like car exhausts etc .
 
I went to Vocational School for wood working and carpentry. I used every one of those plus a planer and a joiner. None of them will bite
you if you think before you act and be safe. Always know where your fingers are and never work alone if you can help it. A second set of
eyes and sometimes reason go along way...

Just be careful and make sure you keep all those fretting and strumming digits...

Future site of handles. Not great, but not bad for my 1st time with a jigsaw. Thanks for the idea SuperBlade!

A compass to draw the circle and then a drill for a small hole followed by a jig saw will make large holes just fine.
But I guess you need a reason to buy more power tools...ha ha...:H5:

I got a discount on the router - is it worth having?
 
Just curious, is this a practice run? That wood you are using looks like pine and if so it's not a hardwood...

No, it was intended to be the cab. Is that bad?

Not bad I guess, but not optimum IMO. I thought you were going to use a Birch Plywood?

I've seen pine warp even after it's dried for many years and I've also had sticky sap come out
of it long after a project was completed.
