5.0 out of 5 stars RIDGID R4510 Purchased 08/25/09 is Better Than Expected, September 7, 2009

Better than expected. First I must say after reading 50 to 100 reviews I've determined that most people are brand diehards; you know a Chevy guy will almost always be a Chevy guy and a Ford guy will almost always stay a Ford guy. I started out thinking I would buy the Craftsman portable table saw with the built in router table, I checked out Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Ryobi and a few others. However, after reading the reviews, checking out the jobsite saws in person and after watching the Ridgid 14648 demonstated on [...], I thought that was the saw I needed. Most of the reviews rated the Ridgid a notch better than the rest. I went to my local Home Depot and found that the Ridgid 14648 on display was not the model in the box so I went to all four HDs in my local area and none had a Ridgid 14648 in the box. So now what do I do? All the display models were missing pieces. Seems while I was searching others were buying. The R4510 had a different stand, tool storage and the blade guard. I also found that not all the boxed saws showed the blade guard and anti-kick back pawls nor listed them on the box. Well I found one HD that had one Ridgid R4510 left in stock, the week before they had two. Even the HD website said this model wasn't available and it had been two weeks before. Many websites listed this saw for about $695; a more popular price was $574 and one for $522. Home Depot had it for $499. I found that many people were listing this saw used for $499. I'm now glad I bought the Ridgid R4510.

Pros

1. The gravity-rise stand is very good; super easy to fold and unfold. I have a Delta gas assisted stand for my miter saw and I thought it was great but the Ridgid is "first rate". The left side of the stand also will support plywood when ripping it.
2. The right side of the table expands to 25", just lift the lever, slide the table out and push the locking lever back down.
3. The rip fence and blade were aligned right out of the box and the rip fence slides very smoothly.
4. Setup time: 15 minutes to read the manual and 5 minutes to put the rip fence, miter gage, push stick, blade guard and anti-kickback pawls on the saw. Oh! And five minutes to unbox the saw.
5. The R4510 has a split blade guard for bevel cuts, spreader/riving knives, push stick, and anti-kickback pawls.
6. The onboard tool and cord storage work great.
7. Has built in chip/dust collection port good for a shop vac.
8. The large wheels work great for a bumpy area.
9. Heavy enough to stay in place while ripping.
10. Send in the registration and it has a lifetime service warranty to the original purchaser.

I have been searching for about two months now, looking for the perfect saw. I narrowed my choices, ever so slowly, to two. The Bosch and the Ridgid.R4510. I went to Home Depot and Lowes to look at each one, and went back to each two times. Luckily the stores were within two minutes of each other. I closed them, opened them, played with the adjustments, extended the table, tilted the blade, disassembled and reassembled the guards (I think they are identical) and moved the fence. for the record, i did own the Bosch and loved it but someone loved it more and took it to their house, from mine. So, i had to get a replacement. I hope they catch the little bastard!!!!!!! i regress. The first thing i noticed was the fence on the Ridgid was much smoother. The fence on my Bosch always chattered as it was moved. The new one did the exact thing, which i found frustrating. The Ridgid was smooth and didn't bind at all. The ridgid also seemed to have a more secure lock. Oh, yeah, it also had a micro-adjustment which i thought was a good touch. Tilting the blade on the Ridgid was easy and smooth, you just pushed in the crank that raises the blade and it engages into a gear and you move it to the correct setting, with no effort. The Bosch had to be unlocked and it swung loose and you brought it to your desired setting and locked it in. Not accurate at all. They both seemed to be of equal quality. both had a crap blade. I thought the solid tires on the Ridgid were more of a logical choice rather than the phnumatic on the Bosch. I had to pump my Bosch tires a number of times. for some reason they lost pressure if you didn't use it for a while. Although i guess you could put some kind of sealer into the tire itself. I looked these saws up and down over and under making every comparison i could think of. I went into this with the mindset that i would buy the Bosch because it was $100.00 more and therefore had to be better. Well, i was wrong. It isn't. I am a very particular buyer and i buy quality tools, so my decision to buy the Ridgid even kind of surprised me. But, i have to be honest. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I COULD JUSTIFY IN MY MIND SPENDING AN ADDITIONAL ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS JUST BECAUSE THE SAW WAS BLUE. Nope. The value just was not justified. Also, and this is very important, the Ridgid is guaranteed for as long as you own it. So, i truly believe the Ridgid to be the better saw and the better value. I hope this helped you out.

This review is from: Ridgid R4510 Heavy-Duty Portable Table Saw with Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

I'm a carpenter by trade and do everything from frame to finish. I've had experience with the Dewalt, Bosch, and Rigid portable table saws.

The dewalt I've used (dont remember the model number) had a small table and an archaic fence adjustment that required you to turn a knob that moved the fence by way of a gear on a track (hard to even explain). It was prone to the opposide side of the fence skipping a toothe and becoming misaligned. Plus it was slow to do.

The Bosch was a good saw, had a great stand, and overall was well thought out. It's only downfall is that it is bit light. I know, I know, light weight should be a plus right!? Well we all like our shop table saws because mass makes accuracy eaiser. I'm still (kinda) young so I don't mind a bit of extra weight if it means a better cut.

The Rigid saw is every bit as good as the Bosch, with a slightly larger table and consequently a bit more mass to boot. Also, at least from HD, it's cheaper too.

One thing I have not tried on the others but I know is a problem on the Rigid is, If you are making your own throat plate, the saw blade will not recess deep enough into the body. (this is hard for me to explain..) After you've cut your plate so that it fits in it's place on the saw, you want to bring the blade all the way down, turn on the saw, and let the blade cut the slot as you raise it back up... make sense? OK. You can't quite do that with a 10" blade on this saw. You'll have to put on an 8" blade, make the cut, then switch back or whathaveyou.

Oh, it's also annoying that none of the stands these saws come with have 10" or 12" wheels. The stock wheels won't roll over stairs. So unless you modify your stand you should use two people to safely carry it over finished stair treads. I have managed to awkwardly pull it up stairs without scraping the frame on them, but on some jobs it's far to risky.

Ultimately, if the Bosch and Rigid saws were the same price I'd still go Rigid (no pun intended). If the Bosch were $50 less, then I'd really have to think about it...
