I love this saw. I don’t have a folding stand but the one it came with is good for what I do. I use this saw for ripping sheets of plywood and smaller projects. Only criticism is the plastic parts feel cheaply done. Saw does what i ask of it though.

Tablesaw has been awesome. Reasonably priced the folks at the local home depot are always friendly and eager to help

This seems like a great saw for a beginner woodworker like myself. Fairly simple to use portable (because I have to move a car out of my garage to work and don’t have space for a permanent tablesaw) not too expensive, high quality, and backed by Ridgid’s lifetime warranty. Only complaint is that although the manual does explicitly state that the tablesaw can accept dado blades, at this time you cannot buy a dado blade throat plate for the saw. I was able to solve this by making my own dado blade throat plate with this table saw,a jigsaw, and an orbital sander.

I just bought this today, spent over an hour carefully assembling and reading every detail of the manual – and then made my first cut – oh so beautiful it was! I’m modifying a cabinet for a wall oven and the cuts are perfect and precise. Ripping boards is a total dream! After I packed it up For the day, I realized there was no dust on the ground or on me. This is my first table saw. I used my dads craftsman growing up – that was 20 years ago – this one is much better. I’m not a carpenter or handy man – just a regular guy that can now beautifully cut wood.

This is my first table saw but after all the research i did it feels like my 20th. I love dewalt products but after watching a video by woodworking guru Steve Ramsey on youtube he suggested to choose a table saw that could accept Dado blades. Dewalts lower models do not. Also he specifically suggested this saw. Well i feel he was right. What a great small but powerful quality saw. All for only $279. The blade was 90degrees right of out of the box. Plus i like all the convenient features and storage. Assembly instructions were fine except for the leg assembly. The legs came out of the box already connected. BUT you need to reverse that configuration. Took me an extra hour to figure that out as the manual did not mention that. Other than that the saw feels tight and secure. The included blade works well as I cut 2*4s like butter.

I had been leery to jump into a new Ridgid table saw for a long time after reading many reviews where motors were prematurely burning out. The lack of a soft-start seemed key to this and a somewhat recent design change. Other common complaints were the location of the table extension release (inset in table top), plastic vise metal gears for blade height, and general quality issues with the table flattness. Well, it seems the folks at Ridgid were listening. The soft-start is a huge improvement over my previous saw, which would trip the breaker 1 out of every 4 or so starts. The blade brake is also nice for stopping the blade quite a bit faster than normal and letting you get setup for the next cut. Tension for the fence and table extension are easily adjustable as is height for the extension table itself, which is good since all three items required some minor tweaks. The throat plate is 1/2” of webbed plastic, but is comparable to more mainstream designs vise thin sheet metal of previous Ridgid saws, so making a zero-clearance plate seems doable. It even includes leveling screws/and mating pads in the saw for this. All of the accessories also have built in storage, another thing that was lacking in previous versions. Metal gears are back for blade height, and quite a bit of attention was paid to dust collection on this round and seems to be helping. This said, there are some areas that are still lacking in my mind. First, adjusting the blade angle is a matter of releasing the lock then pushing the motor assembly to where you want it and relocking. Fortunately, most of my cuts are at 90 or 45, so the stops aide this process, but for any non-standard cuts, this is not ideal. Second, the pointer/indicators for the fence and extension are pathetic. Both are red triangles of a sort that don’t come to a clear point. There’s also limited room in the pointer itself for adjustment, so even at max to one side I’m off by 1/32”, but there’s more room in the opening in the fence for the pointer to shift. I can live with this for now by manually checking width, I had just hoped to move on from that this round. Lastly, plan on buying a new blade as the stock one was leaving burn marks during rip cuts through 5/4 maple. Overall though, I’m happy with the purchase, especially at the price. I’m no cabinet maker, only a weekend hobbyist, so fits my needs quite well. Having installed a new Diablo blade and making the minor tweaks mentioned above, it’s been running like a top for the 2 weeks I’ve owned it, no matter what I throw at it. Dust collection is good with a basic shop vac attached and the saw is quite a bit quieter than my last. This may seem trivial for a big tool, but when your shop is next to or under your house, every bit counts.
