Table Saw Comparison DeWalt vs Ridgid. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!

Thanks for the solid review, appreciate it when someone has used a tool for years and can talk about the pros and cons.

I appreciate the thorough comparison of both units. You answered all my questions and removed any questions and doubts I was having. Great video!

Awesome thanks. I'm glad you took the time to make this. It answered all my questions. Now I don't have to buy a saw I won't be satisfied with. Super helpful.

Great review. Came here because I looked at both yesterday, and you just made up my mind Sir.

Thanks for the great review on comparison, I was looking for buying between rigid and dewalt. This vedio helped me. Cheers!!

Thanks for posting this. Very helpful

Perfect timing for me to watch your review. Appreciate the review. Buying Dewalt for sure

Great video - It's nice to see someone compare two products who actually has used them. I'm leaning towards the Dewalt setup (my old tablesaw is a pain in the a$$).

I have a newer version, R4514 I think. 15 Amp motor and you can run a 6" dado per instructions. I run an 8" stack, just have to take it a bit slower.

I appreciate this review. You really changed my mind i was just about to but the ridgid tomorrow but will now go with the dewalt.. Thank you

I was having trouble raising the blade on my Ridgid, I ended up putting the whole saw upside down on my bench and giving it a thorough cleaning. I then put some 3 in 1 oil on the worm gears that raise and lower the blade. Worked fine after that.

Thanks for the first hand review. Shifting to DeWalt with rollers

Hello. I have had a Ridged 4513 for 8 years now and I am a contractor. I put a 24 tooth Diablo combo blade on it and never had a issue with power. Much more table room, great fence and very portable and lightweight. I also own the Bosch portable but always go back to my Ridged for the ease of use. Thank You

Put a thin kerf 7.25" Diablo blade on the Ridged and it will rip dimensional lumber as fast as you can push it through. Also, much quieter and smoother. It also works great for jobsite finishing cuts. Sure, you will occasionally need to change the blade if you need more depth than 2ish", but you need to do the same (even more often) with ripping or finishing 10" blades. The 7.25 thin kerf is much more versatile for typical jobsite work and totally outperforms in ripping duties and is as good or better with finishing cuts, unless you buy expensive finishing blades. Not to mention the price difference and far less strain on the motor and bearings. Jobsite saws don't have ridged enough bearings (and everything else) to take advantage of an expensive, heavy 10" finishing blade. Thus in most cases a new cheaper 7.25" Diablo will have far less blade wobble (than a heavy 10" blade) and even outperform with finishing cuts on jobsite saws. The DeWalt fence will go out of square too if it gets bumped. Any jobsite saw fence will get knocked out of line if dummies slam a 4x8 sheet of plywood (or anything heavy) against the fence like a battling ram. The only time my Ridged fence got out of square was when butchers at work were using it.

I've had the Ridgid since 2010 and have used it for a lot of projects, furniture and construction. The Dewalt I've been using on-site for 5 years, reno/construction. Take the Ridgid in for repair and they'll replace the entire saw free - lifetime warranty works well. The new 4514 (which you'll get in replacement of this one) moves a lot easier and is lower priced - mainly because it has less plastic and you have to assemble it from the smallest pieces. The riving knife and blade guard on the Ridgid is 100x better than on the Dewalt. The Dewalt fence is 100x better than the Ridgid. The older Dewalt is nicer than the one you have, IMO. Putting a dado in a Dewalt is a little silly, IMO. It's a contractor saw and excels at that.

Appreciate the video! I’ve had the rigid for two years and am always regretting not getting the dewalt. Might sell the rigid

Thanks Ryan Reynolds! lol I have a Craftsman table saw and hate it so I wanted to upgrade since I've become a more serious wood worker. I have a lot of Dewalt stuff so I guess I'll keep adding to the collection. Great to the point video.

Thank you very much for the very useful video. I have a Hitachi C10FL that has given very good service for more than 15 years, but it is getting older and I can no longer get replacement parts for it. Plus, it is big and somewhat difficult to store and move around my carport. I was looking into a replacement and was attracted to the DeWalt (I have excellent success with DeWalt tools) but then I saw an add on Home Depot that offered at combination of a Ridgid table saw with a Ridgid compound mitre saw and mitre saw stand for only slightly more than the DeWalt table saw by itself. Bright shiny object there! I don't really need a new mitre saw, but it was an very attractive deal. However, after watching your video and seeing that the Ridgid would be less satisfactory as a replacement for my Hitachi, I think I am going to go with the DeWalt. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Thank you so much, new subscribe- appreciate this!

Cool video. Thanks for the info.
