What is an "Electronic" Radial Saw?

 

It's one you do not want to own (IMHO). But I think it had a digital readout with a keypad on the end of the arm (no idea what it did) and I think the column motion up/down was done electronically.

Thanks Fred, wasn't planning on buying it, but was just curious why "Electronic" I though all modern powered machinery ran on electricity

I had not considered there may be electronic control system attached to such a simple machine. Appreciate the clarification.

I found a picture of the end of that arm, not good enough to read the buttons but you can see what it looks like....and you're right, it's a simple machine that does just fine without that stuff.

Here's a manual.

Never mind, can't get the link to work.
