A radial arm saw includes a saw assembly pivotally mounted to a support unit which, in turn, is mounted to a wall or other support structure. The saw assembly includes a column that is connectable at one end to a saw table frame or the support unit so as to be affixed in upright operative position during operation and disposed during non-operation in a lateral, storage position. A radial arm and saw unit are supported from the other end of the column. Preferably, the column is pivotal between a lateral stored position and an upright operative position. Also, the saw assembly is pivotal relative to the support unit between a vertical stored position and a horizontal operative position. A leg locking sleeve may be released to deploy the saw assembly from its stored position into its operative position. The support column may be detachable to shift the radial arm saw between operative and stored positions. The frame is pivotal about a horizontal axis between operative and stored positions, and legs may be provided for added stability. The compact-storage radial arm saw is extremely stable, permits accurate cutting, and in its stored position provides a substantial savings in floor or bench space compared to conventional radial arm saws and yet can be quickly and readily deployed to its operative position.
