I only cross cut and trench cross cut on my RAS's and have other table saws for ripping. I'm very glad of that.
I use the Wadkin Bursgreen BRA.
The crazy info Wadkin and others put out on supposed operations that could be done on a RAS was insane.
These two videos show plenty of the most ridiculous multi fingers or hand losing methods.

I've performed many of those tasks on a RADS, but as Auscab states there are some that are way too insane for me, even "back in the day."
Ripping wide sheets at full operating extension then the "spindle moulding" tasks .... with out any guarding at all ...
Me park puk puk puk .... I subscribe to the theory if it can go wrong it generally does ..... at some point in time.
We now consider most of those tasks insane, and rightly so .... however in the early to mid, even latter 1900's they were an efficient, very versatile and capable machine in well trained operators hands. They had no peer then and still have none to this day. There is no doubting that many users had been horribly injured by them, hence the move away from RADS.
If I had a choice of one machine only to take to a 3rd world country for remote construction projects I would still be tempted to take a mid 1900's RADS.Mobyturns
