@pwtobin 2 года назад

I have been ready to move off of this saw almost since I bought it. That is, until I saw this video. Even though it is sponsored, it's very informative and even a bit entertaining. I went out and bought this off of Esty, installed it, did a bit of fine tuning, and IT TOTALLY WORKED!!! Now my fence is rock solid. This literally saved me from ditching this saw and going out and buying a $3000+ Sawstop. (for now)

Dude, you need to take your act on the road! Extremely entertaining and informative. I have this fence on a older craftsman saw and this looks like my fix.

@dooleyfan Год назад

Great video. I have been fighting my R4512 fence (fencing with my fence?) for the past two days. I didn't realize how bad it was until I measured it with a dial indicator. Then I almost stripped the fence adjuster bolts trying to get it true. I've had the saw for seven years, and up until recently the fence's inaccuracy hasn't been a problem as I hadn't been doing precision work. But now that I'm building jigs for furniture making, I finally realized how bad it was. I will be ordering.

@palbergwerx.comcreativedir1338 2 года назад

Nice fix for the older Ridgid saw fence. I don't have that issue, as after setting up the fence, I put forward pressure on it before clamping. BTW: Ridgid has a new saw, the R4560 that looks like they've re-designed the fence system entirely. I am not aware if the fence/fence rails may be backwards compatible with the R4512/20. A full draw of 13amps on a single phase 110 circuit with 65% efficiency will give you approx. 1.25 hp.

I have the Ridgid 4520 and the fence has always been good. I did have problems with the blade height adjustment twice. Ridged replaced entire saw the 1st time because there was a problem with the motor and it wasn't available. The 2nd blade adjustment on saw number 2 had broken parts that are no longer available. They sent me saw number 3 last week. Be sure to register your tools. I now have 3 rip fences and many other parts.

@awlthatwoodcrafts8911 Год назад

I have this saw and I've had issues with the fence from time to time. I end up measuring the front and back of the blade to the fence. If it's off, I loosen and retighten the fence, pushing forward as I do, to make sure it's lined up and doesn't move. I have ordered that little upgrade kit but I have not installed it yet. The first time I tried, it was not usable and I didn't have the time to file/sand the parts down to make it work. I will in the near future, though. I wouldn't want to waste $28, you know. There is another inexpensive upgrade you get get for this say and it is the TABS, for aligning the blade. That I have installed and it is great. So easy now to align the blade. you don't have to do as much back and forth of tightening, loosening and retightening to compensate for everything moving when you tighten down. No banging on the motor or finding a long enough, and strong enough, screwdriver to fit through that little hole, either. Just a slight turn of a hex nut. Fellow San Antonian here, as well.

@wittworks Год назад

That’s cool! How about the cooler weather and rain?! I had to send down my parts, but it required very little. I sanded slightly more than I needed to. It’s pretty easy. Just took more effort to get me in “the mode”.

I watch two to three You Tubes woodworking videos with my coffee each morning... you produce good stuff! I have a Ridgid 4510 the slop in the fence is just awful, I'm constantly checking and rechecking accuracy.... That being said I picked it up at a yard sale for $150, it was used for rough work (Outdoor building) and I put about another $200 worth into it... Zero Insert, 80 tooth blade, made a really nice precise crosscut sled.... but the fence... S#$@'s just horrible! At night I dream of a Saw Stop or a Laguna being dropped off at the house and then I awake to the fence from Hell... On the brighter side for Christmas I received a Makita corded Track Saw... that is a game changer almost as good as my Saw Stop or a Laguna dreams!!! Good videos and I like the comparisons especially on the Track Saws... this is where the future of DIY woodworking is leading I believe... not so much large table saws but small, well build, quality table shop saws... keep up the good work enjoy the videos!

@TheFalconJetDriver Год назад

I have the 4512 and if you had registered the saw when purchased Rigid would stand be hind the saw! I did and they replaced 3 fences. The extrusion was not parallel with the miter slot or the arbor. I agree the fence was junk until I got a good one. However I still replaced the fence with the Incra TS LS wonder Fence system. Yes it cost more than the saw. That was 5 years ago. And I do not regret the purchase. I use to install CNC machines in the early 80’s so I am pretty anal when it comes to precision. I have a calibrated master Plate and dial indicator for alignment of the arbor to the miter slot then the fence. When I set my fence for a 4 inch cut I get a 4.000 cut measured with digital calipers. Yes wood moves with moisture content. But I am West Texas and that is not a big issue here.

@wittworks 2 года назад

You’re a genius. I’m going to wire it soon. When my electrician friend comes over. 😀 it feels like it’s running at 1/2hp - but I think that’s because of the dull blade and the toed in fence.

@j.frankparnell3087 2 года назад

Of course, at 240V the motor will be drawing only 6.5A. So the HP will be the very same at 120V and 240V. And since electric motors rarely run at 100% efficiency, that theoretical 2.1 HP is more like 1.75 effective horsepower. Ridgid's claim of 3.25 HP is likely based on the theoretical peak HP that the motor will produce right before it explodes, multiplied by their own marketing BS factor.

Has anyone tried this on the R4518?

I was researching after market fences for my 4512 and was going to place an order for an incra and ran across your video then saw a guy up in Canada did the same thing so I figured wtf and ordered the parts to give it a try. I also ordered the TABS table saw alignment block set just to make it easier to adjust the blade they're in the mail should be here in a few days. I'm enjoying your videos and Thanks for the tips

Thank you! Let me know how it goes! My friend got the Incra and it took over 16 weeks to get in.

@@wittworks the wait time is longer now,my shop is bone chilling cold in the winter so I got a couple of months to order one for mid spring delivery so I got time for a few hacks and if they work I save money if they don't I got time to wait

whats up with the 0.20 in the tittle?

@wittworks 2 года назад

the cost of producing the 3D printed part is $0.20 (but the seller obviously sells it for more and makes a huge profit) - see 6:10 where I explain it

I have the R4513 saw and its fence is TERRIBLE. The saw is fine, but I've never been able to trust the fence and it would be great to fix that. Anyone know of a similar fix for that one??

@wittworks Год назад

Ridgid likes to change tiny things from saw to saw. 🙄 I haven’t found a cheap solution for that one. Seems like the Incra fence is the best way to go if you love the saw (but it’s about the same price of the saw!)

@cangooner Год назад

@@wittworks thanks. That's annoying on Ridgid's part. Last night I found John Heisz's homemade fence video, bought the plans and am going to go that route.

That’s cool! He’s a brilliant designer.

sorry man... I'm normally the king of goofy bits in a video... and I tried, I really did... but I ended up skipping your "sponsored" section cause I just wanted the info on how to fix my fence.

@wittworks 2 года назад

Great! After you fix the fence, you could crack a cold one and sit back and enjoy it another time 🙃 The fence fix is holding up great and is 99.9% perfect.

You get a Like and Subscribe just for being local to me. Excellent vid. I’ve been having the same problem with my r4514 straight out of the box. Go Spurs Go! (Or this time of year, Let’s Rodeo, San Antonio!) I’m out in the Victoria area, but a San Antonio native.
