I was a little worried about installing the blade after reading a couple of reviews. But it was amazingly easy. Took about 1 minute. Works great ru-vid.comUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c . Cuts easily and is perfect for pocket cuts I needed to make for replacing some old deck boards.
Sold! Ok well I was going back and forth between the rigid and the Dewalt DWS779 because price point is close but you didn’t mention deflection at all and from what I am gathering all saws have a little we just have to not be so hard on them. But the more reviews I watch on this rigid now I am completely sold on it. Well done video thanks!
My 10 inch ridgid has been the best. Bought it back in 2015 and still works like a champ. Picked up another one today for $200 because it was half off the original price. Still deciding if I should unbox it or return it and get batteries
I didn't hear your vacuum running! I think it would collect the dust better if you turned on your vacuum since you have the dust port hooked up to your vacuum!
Shadow lines rock! One thing I have wondered is about how much movement do you get when the saw is operated at full extension. Does it move enough to make your cut out of square?
Table swing L-R = Miter Head tilt L-R = Bevel This saw has HORRIBLE blade deflection or actually the entire saw head will flex will extended out. It is amplified when cutting hardwoods. I couldn't return the Delta (2nd ver) fast enough because of this. I desperately wanted to keep it but any saw that can't be corrected is a boat anchor at that point This saw is made by Delta, just an orange version of the Delta Cruzer. . In January, 2011, Taiwan-based Chang Type Industrial Co., Ltd. purchased the Delta brand from Stanley Black & Decker. Chang Type formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Delta Power Equipment Corp. to own the acquired assets including trademarks, designs and industrial tooling.
@@bosatsu76 Same. Need something for production work, but need the rear clearance that traditional sliding miter saws don't allow for. That's why I've been checking this Ridgid out.
The down side is really not the poor dust collection, all brands are horrible, but on this saw the motor placement is a poor design. It blows the dust right back in your face. Hopefully they will fix this problem in the future
Congratulations Brandon. I know previously that the Ridgid tools were made in the same factory as Milwaukee (same company). Did they change that? Also, there are two companies with an articulated arm configuration. Only one is premium though. Jay Bates had a Milwaukee saw and didn't like it. Good to see you back again. bill
it is. I bought the 10 inch and returned it the same day. The lateral movement on the blade is easily as bad as the negative reviews say. I am a trim carpenter and it would definitely not work well for that kind of work. Unfortunate, because the saw is very cool.
@@donovanhaas7315 thanks for that. looking to get my first miter saw, and now i know i won't be getting this one. now I'm lookin at harbor freight's 10" Admiral sliding. appreciate the input. I'm brand new to this
@@smokeyjo7420 Np, all of my cordless stuff at present is Ridgid, and they're great. The BAUER 10inch dual bevel slider at HF is a great saw. It has a shadow line and can cut 5 1/2 inch boards standing at the fence.
@@donovanhaas7315 yeah they always say its all in the guy running the equipment, lol I have used my delta cruzer for many big fine detail projects and have yet to have a problem with the movement yeah i suppose if you are rushing the cuts but its possible you got a saw that wasnt as good either. you wanna try a real shitty saw get a 36v metabo 10inch slider haha pos!!!!! what saws do you mainly use for trim? i am needing another one and not sure what i want to get
@@derekmoen5382 Presently, I'm using the Makita LS1019, and I had to 'adjust' the rail sliders to get it to cut straight. Look it up. Great saw once adjusted. You could be right about the Ridgid saw. With a good blade and a patient approach it may cut very accurate. Residential construction jobsite work is inherently tough on tools. Also, a lot of the crown we install is 7 1/4 tall and about 1 1/4 through the belly. Cutting thousands of feet of that laying flat, with the saw set at its detents...the movement at the blade did not inspire confidence.
