This post solves one of my biggest issue here, "it'll be coming out sometime this spring" when this video was posted September which is fall in northern hemispheres. But I am really curious as to how a channel that has less then 16k subscribers on a video that has less then 3k views... can get his hands on a PRE-PRODUCTION Saw like this. That being said... I think this video would have been so much more informative if you had compared it against the Delta Contractor Saw 36-725T2 which this Rigid looks like being copied from.

I am just a person who occasionally works with wood, not a pro woodworker, so YMMV, but I am super happy with the Delta 725T2 sister of this Ridgid. Lowes put these on sale for $325 last year and I managed to get one at that unicorn price. For me it has completely upped my game, as I previously had a blob of metal that vaguely resembled a table saw. Powerful motor, great fence, no complaints. One note on the power switch: I see Eric being super careful about making sure the power is off while plugging back in, but the switch is magnetic. If you pull out the plug when the saw is running, the power switch is automatically released. If you accidentally press the ON button while unplugged it won't matter at all as this is not a normal mechanical switch. Once you plug it back in the saw will remain off until you hit the on button again.

I have the Delta version of this saw. The power switch is designed such that it CAN'T be on until it is pushed and held in for a second after it is powered off - that's why it's a momentary contact and not just an on-off (I assume there is some logic circuitry in there, which probably does the soft-start too). It would have to be badly broken to allow power through without pressing it when you plug it in. My gripe with the power switch is the position of it - I have hit the off lever with my thigh a few times now - grrrr. I may look into relocating it back a bit. I followed your video on making a router table insert for it - awesome and thank you for a really great idea! It came out great.

So update, I ordered and received mine. When I got to home depot we found that the box had been punctured by a forklift. Despite better judgment I took it home. Opened the box and found that the fork did hit and gouged the fence. I called Home Depot they had made a note on their file even before I left the store just in case. I called Ridgid and with no hassle at all they agreed to ship me a new fence it will be here Saturday. I assembled the saw and all the parts were snug and fit as designed. For sure someone could assemble this in an hour to 1.5 hours. Anyway, props to ridgid that was first class customer service. I'll do test cuts to square it up and make sure no other damage on Saturday.

Sometime around 1999-2001 I bought a Ridgid TS2424. Cast iron top and wings, wheel assembly that can be engaged or not. (120v motor). The motor hangs off the back so it's a belt drive blade with plenty of power to rip through black walnut or oak. If you can find that model or one like it (ebay?), it's worth buying. I've used it for everything from making cabinets and rustic furniture, to ripping 4x4's. I made a sled for cutting off an edge of 3" to 4" diameter logs. And another jig to make tenons for log beds frames. Yes, you can do that on a table saw, but always rotate the log clockwise.

Hey Eric. This is clearly an orange rebranded version of the Delta 36-725T2 table saw that is available through Lowes. Having had that version (Delta 36-725T2) for almost 2 years now, I can absolutely say it is a great saw for the money. In fact, I challenge anyone to find a better saw for under $1000. To address your concern about the power switch. It is a magnetic safety switch (latching relay) and if it is unplugged, it is off. The whole point is that if you loose power using it, the switch (latching relay) will "drop out" and then be in the OFF position so that when power is restored if will not start running again. Hope this helps!

My dad did decades of pretty impressive work with a 1970's Craftsman Contractor Saw, and I think I knew how to overcome the limitations (or choose projects within the limitations of his saw). I think these Ridgid saws are still very good choices for people unwilling or unable to get a SawStop or professional saw. I want to start building boxes to replace the old drawers in my kitchen, I I think this saw or the R4520 is the sweet spot for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think that power button is a magnetic contactor switch. The current running through the saw keeps it switched on. So basically if the power is cut(as in unplugging the saw) , the switch turns off by itself and will only come on if you switch it manually while its plugged in. So for me that wouldn't be an issue. Great vid nonetheless. Cheers!

Right now I am using new insert's in the fence that I ordered online and while it works kind of it has made it VERY stiff. Yes, I've waxed them but I don't want to sand them any and have them go out of adjustment like the originals. I looked at purchasing an aftermarket fence but I could buy a new saw for the price and I really like this saw other than the fence. I wish this saw had been available when I purchased the other.

Interesting review! It would have been nice to see a detailed look at the motor and trunnion assembly. I have the older version of this saw and it is not the best design out there. Aligning it to cut straight is a huge PITA. Everyone knows about the fence issues but the motor trunnion is a weakest link on that model. The other issue is Rigid used proprietary parts that you can't just buy anyware and when you need it it costs a fortune to replace. I not knocking Ridgid as a whole I have a few of their other power tools corded and cordless! When it comes to a Table saw I think you get what you pay for. In this case the $649 price tag Ridgid is asking I would not expect cabinet saw results nor would I expect longevity under daily use.

I've also found my local homedepot is a repair center even though ridgid does not advertise this. i've been looking at this saw as an upgrade and came from the same jobsite saw you previously had. It actually had the same blade height adjustment failure. I took it to homedepot and they fixed it free of charge. I've been disappointed with my jobsite saw since the day i bought it. My father has what appears to be the same saw, but a model older and the build quality is significantly better. From the aluminum cast table to the blade the stand, everything was more robust.

I have the Delta branded version of this saw and the table isn’t flat at all, it’s about 0.5mm lower in the center! The square tube sections the fence is riding on aren’t same height which means the fence is pumping into this step all the time. If you buy this saw no matter which branding you choose, checkbit carefully! Other than that this is a great saw at the price point. I upgraded from the Dewalt DWE7491 and it is a major upgrade for not much more money. But I have to say the Dewalt jobsite saw seems to be much better than what you had before…. But it costs only ~$150ish less than the contractor saw.

If that is a magnetic switch, don't worry about it. They are literally designed to be OFF unless you press the ON button. Lose power? Switch is in the off position (test this by unplugging it while it is running, then plugging it back in). Press the big red paddle, it's in the off position. It's a safety feature and I have retrofitted all my vintage stationary tools with similar switches because of it.

Your saw has a magnetic switch. If it you disconnect it, or it loses power it should not start when plugged back in or the power comes back on. Also, I had the Delta version of this saw and had 2 problems with it. One issue was the table was not very flat. The big problem was the fact that the arbor assembly had play in it and my zero clearance insert looked like the one from your old saw. I could grab the arbor nut and rock the assembly back and forth. I went to my local Lowes and the display model did that same thing. I returned it and went with a different saw. I bought a Fusion F2, had problems with that and returned it. I then ended up with a Shop Fox W1837 and have been very happy with it. What should you buy? Well, I built a mobile base for my saw with built in extension tables and storage. Got a real fence for it and all is well. At the time I did not want to get another job site saw either. The contractor version of the Saw Stop was a no go for me due to the external motor. A full cabinet saw was a no go as I need it to be mobile. The Delta, and then Shop Fox W1837 both work well with my mobile table idea. However, now that I look at my table, I could have easily built the able around the Saw Stop jobsite saw, and still used the same fence setup that I have now. I have a Jet Xacta rail kit with 53" rip capacity and a Very Super Cool Tools fence. It is a great setup. Anyway, just wanted to share this info. There are 3 big drawbacks to jobsite saws. The stability of the saw on the stand, the small table surface area and the bad fences. I could have resolved all of those issues with my mobile stand and had the safety features of the Saw Stop.

I'll keep my Ridgid TS3612, they really went downhill after the 3612. My 3612 is wired into a 220V outlet, plenty of power for all those heavy ripping duties. The Sawstop Contractor saw is 120V or 240V, you simply rewire the motor for 240V once you move to a location that you can use it that way. A side note...many saws equipped with a multi-voltage motor doesn't give you maximum HP unless its wired up to a 220V outlet, so on a 1.5HP saw on 120V, you might be getting 1HP max.

@@SpencleyDesignCo I have seen all of the new ridgid models out on the Home Depot app, as well as the prices, but the app said “out of stock”. All of them look the same as the deltas. I have had a delta like that, and I do fine furniture, and I loved it! Only issue was that I nicked my finger on the blade twice, so I upgraded to the sawstop contractor saw. It is better in terms of capacity, build quality feels similar, but the dust collection on the sawstop isn’t very good. But other than that, I enjoy my sawstop

I'm not sure how it's built but if you do a follow up I would appreciate it to get a good description of how the motor is mounted, maybe try to show it, is it direct drive or belt, what's the blade runout actually like, vibration (pass the nickel on edge test?). I have a old delta shop master that I have had for many years. It's ok but being what it is, like jobsite saws, it has issues with the design and construction. Would really like to get as much information on this one as I could.

For what it matters, the power switch assembly is what's called a magnetic safety switch. If the saw is on, and power is removed, the switch will disengage, or fail to engage if you attempt to turn the saw on while it is unplugged. In either case the saw will be off when power is restored. Granted, its still a peace of mind thing to push the power off button before plugging it in, its just not needed.

I had an old Delta model that was a really good model, but I bought it second hand and it was kind of beat up. Then I closed a garage door on it. Oops. So I bought the rigid 4512, which I think is the previous model of this saw. It's a hybridcontractor/cabinet type. It has been pretty good. I have not found an issue with the fence or the table like some, but the workmenship is not what a Delta would be. Sloppy welds and such The thing I hate most is the thin throat plate. Its arrangement makes it very difficult to route duplicate plates like I did for the Delta, so I am stuck with buying their zero clearance plates. I cannot say that I would be making better stuff with Delta, but if I had to do it again i would spend the extra money.

Do you have any recommendation/suggestion on if I should upgrade the fence on my current Rigid R4512 or use the money towards a better table saw? Currently a Shop Fox W2005 fence system is running around $450 to $550. I'm struggling to justify that cost for just a fence. You make beautiful projects.

Did you do any calibrations or adjustments as part of setting up your saw? My R4560 came with the blade out of parallel to the miter slot, with the rear of the blade being about 1mm closer to the miter slot than the front of the blade. Super dangerous in terms of creating kickback. However when I looked at the manual they only gave me instructions for checking this alignment as opposed to setting it, which was kind of weird. Most other saws would have you loosen the trunnion bolts, so I tried that with this, but appears they were drilled to a close fit as opposed to slotted, so you can't scoot the blade assembly left-to-right with respect to the table. There's another vid out there where they have folks messing with the vertical rod couplings. Kind of weird, and there's not enough play in mine to get it to move left-to-right reliably.
