When the saws blade is closest to the column and the motor is towards the operator. The material to be cut is fed from the right and against the direction of the blades rotation.
What is out rip on a radial arm saw?
When the yoke is rotated so the motor is towards the column and the blade is towards the operator. The stock is fed from the left and against the blades rotation.
How do you set up slightly warped material so that it is safe to cut on the radial arm saw?

What prevents the blade from being pushed off the band wheels of a band saw?
Guide bearings
Keeping the blade running in the centre of the band saw’s wheels is accomplished by adjusting what?
The blade tracking
What are 2 reasons for choosing a band saw to resaw material?
The band saw can cut much thicker material than a table or radial saw, without kickbacks.
The thin blade means less material is lost (smaller kerf)
