Check out the Ridgid R4560 Cast Iron Table Saw and learn why I upgraded from my Ridgid R4513 Jobsite Table Saw!
This video was filmed around March 2021 but the release date of the saw was pushed back. Hopefully that explains why my hair is much longer and other things around the garage seem outdated.
This saw is targeted to be a replacement of the Ridgid R4520 Cast Iron Table Saw and should be released sometime Fall 2021

This video was shot around March 2021. Due to delays, I was asked to hold the video until September 2021. That explains the suddenly long hair 😀. I’ll have a 6 month review coming out in the next several weeks!

@reginaldgabel2611 2 года назад

Great vid. I am retired pastor (on a fixed budget) with a small shop and build mostly small items; jewelry boxes, crosses, and items for Church VBS's. I saw where ridgid has also redesigned their contractors saw. It is the R4550. It has a rack and pinion guide like the DeWalt. Any thoughts on it. Thanks and have blessed day.

@Momoka7 2 года назад

This post solves one of my biggest issue here, "it'll be coming out sometime this spring" when this video was posted September which is fall in northern hemispheres. But I am really curious as to how a channel that has less then 16k subscribers on a video that has less then 3k views... can get his hands on a PRE-PRODUCTION Saw like this. That being said... I think this video would have been so much more informative if you had compared it against the Delta Contractor Saw 36-725T2 which this Rigid looks like being copied from.

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

Many many many logistical delays happened due to COVID, but the saw is available for purchase now. It appears to go out of stock every few days.

@Momoka7 2 года назад

@@SpencleyDesignCo I would be so interested in a comparison between this Rigid copy and the original Delta version.

@JohnSmith-ld1pw Год назад

I am just a person who occasionally works with wood, not a pro woodworker, so YMMV, but I am super happy with the Delta 725T2 sister of this Ridgid. Lowes put these on sale for $325 last year and I managed to get one at that unicorn price. For me it has completely upped my game, as I previously had a blob of metal that vaguely resembled a table saw. Powerful motor, great fence, no complaints. One note on the power switch: I see Eric being super careful about making sure the power is off while plugging back in, but the switch is magnetic. If you pull out the plug when the saw is running, the power switch is automatically released. If you accidentally press the ON button while unplugged it won't matter at all as this is not a normal mechanical switch. Once you plug it back in the saw will remain off until you hit the on button again.

@stevenchavez5979 2 года назад

So update, I ordered and received mine. When I got to home depot we found that the box had been punctured by a forklift. Despite better judgment I took it home. Opened the box and found that the fork did hit and gouged the fence. I called Home Depot they had made a note on their file even before I left the store just in case. I called Ridgid and with no hassle at all they agreed to ship me a new fence it will be here Saturday. I assembled the saw and all the parts were snug and fit as designed. For sure someone could assemble this in an hour to 1.5 hours. Anyway, props to ridgid that was first class customer service. I'll do test cuts to square it up and make sure no other damage on Saturday.

Great video. I like the sawstop comparison at the end. I have the same issue with having a small shop. Do I buy the SS jobsite now knowing that in a couple of years I want to get a bigger place where I may be able to fit a contractor saw or use the Skil TS I have now until I move. I got back and forth everyday. Great vid though!

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

I know that feeling! It really is a tough decision!

@kevinrhodes335 Месяц назад

I have the Delta version of this saw. The power switch is designed such that it CAN'T be on until it is pushed and held in for a second after it is powered off - that's why it's a momentary contact and not just an on-off (I assume there is some logic circuitry in there, which probably does the soft-start too). It would have to be badly broken to allow power through without pressing it when you plug it in. My gripe with the power switch is the position of it - I have hit the off lever with my thigh a few times now - grrrr. I may look into relocating it back a bit. I followed your video on making a router table insert for it - awesome and thank you for a really great idea! It came out great.

@ScottTooley Год назад

Thank you for the honest review. While I would never expect perfection for whatever this costs ($600-$800), it's nice to know that you can do the work with it as expected. My dad did decades of pretty impressive work with a 1970's Craftsman Contractor Saw, and I think I knew how to overcome the limitations (or choose projects within the limitations of his saw). I think these Ridgid saws are still very good choices for people unwilling or unable to get a SawStop or professional saw. I want to start building boxes to replace the old drawers in my kitchen, I I think this saw or the R4520 is the sweet spot for me. Subscribed to your channel, I look forward to your next future videos.

@mrcryptozoic817 Год назад

Sometime around 1999-2001 I bought a Ridgid TS2424. Cast iron top and wings, wheel assembly that can be engaged or not. (120v motor). The motor hangs off the back so it's a belt drive blade with plenty of power to rip through black walnut or oak. If you can find that model or one like it (ebay?), it's worth buying. I've used it for everything from making cabinets and rustic furniture, to ripping 4x4's. I made a sled for cutting off an edge of 3" to 4" diameter logs. And another jig to make tenons for log beds frames. Yes, you can do that on a table saw, but always rotate the log clockwise.

I believe you have demonstrated the maker is far more important than the equipment. You have built incredible stuff with one outlet and a very basic table saw in an apartment garage. Personally, I look for channels such as yours as I know I will never own a multi-thousand dollar SawStop (although I am sincerely happy for those who can afford the high end equipment and large shops :).

Everything else I have to go for battery powered tools. Soon, I will move into a real home (hopefully) and I'll have a hundred outlets! Lol

As someone who has a small workspace and been woodworking for 20+ years, upgrading to a table saw like this is a must! Still have my job site saw and if you need portability and don’t high accuracy they are fine but if you want to make things that need square accurate cuts save your money and make this purchase. I wish I spent the money when I started woodworking, would have saved my time and allowed me to make better projects.

@ravinerella1381 2 года назад

Eric, I really appreciate your review of this table saw. I do have a couple of questions. Have you noticed any issues with a dado stack with regards to being limited in how wide of a stack you could use? Do you have any recommendation/suggestion on if I should upgrade the fence on my current Rigid R4512 or use the money towards a better table saw? Currently a Shop Fox W2005 fence system is running around $450 to $550. I'm struggling to justify that cost for just a fence. You make beautiful projects.

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! The dado stack maxes out at around 1/2”

@davidbondi 2 года назад

Hey Eric. This is clearly an orange rebranded version of the Delta 36-725T2 table saw that is available through Lowes. Having had that version (Delta 36-725T2) for almost 2 years now, I can absolutely say it is a great saw for the money. In fact, I challenge anyone to find a better saw for under $1000. To address your concern about the power switch. It is a magnetic safety switch (latching relay) and if it is unplugged, it is off. The whole point is that if you loose power using it, the switch (latching relay) will "drop out" and then be in the OFF position so that when power is restored if will not start running again. Hope this helps!

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

Yup, it’s magnetic 🧲

@derekpeterson8005 2 года назад

I currently have the original version of this saw and I hate, HATE hate the fence. It worked great new but I use mine a lot and it quickly became so inconsistent. Right now I am using new insert's in the fence that I ordered online and while it works kind of it has made it VERY stiff. Yes, I've waxed them but I don't want to sand them any and have them go out of adjustment like the originals. I looked at purchasing an aftermarket fence but I could buy a new saw for the price and I really like this saw other than the fence. I wish this saw had been available when I purchased the other. Thanks for sharing this review it will help in my decision of what I buy next!

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

Sure thing Derek! Thanks for checking out the video. Sorry to hear you’re having issues with your fence!

@funfreq9282 2 года назад

Interesting review! It would have been nice to see a detailed look at the motor and trunnion assembly. I have the older version of this saw and it is not the best design out there. Aligning it to cut straight is a huge PITA. Everyone knows about the fence issues but the motor trunnion is a weakest link on that model. The other issue is Rigid used proprietary parts that you can't just buy anyware and when you need it it costs a fortune to replace. I not knocking Ridgid as a whole I have a few of their other power tools corded and cordless! When it comes to a Table saw I think you get what you pay for. In this case the $649 price tag Ridgid is asking I would not expect cabinet saw results nor would I expect longevity under daily use.

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

Agreed! Definitely are getting a $650 saw which at the end of the day, you can’t ask the world of

@LutherBuilds 2 года назад

That's a nice solid review. I especially liked your comparison of all the saw stop saws. It doesn't make sense to buy a 1.5 hp saw when spending that much money. I have a 1970's Craftsman cast iron saw. The only reason I'd like to upgrade is to have a riving knife. But I have a biesemeyer fence on it and a dust collector hooked up to it that does a decent job. This saw looks exactly like the Delta from Lowes. I'm surprised that the dust collection is good with the saw being open like that.

@SpencleyDesignCo 2 года назад

I was pretty shocked about the dust collection too! I’m working on my 6 month review that’s coming soon!

Did you do any calibrations or adjustments as part of setting up your saw? My R4560 came with the blade out of parallel to the miter slot, with the rear of the blade being about 1mm closer to the miter slot than the front of the blade. Super dangerous in terms of creating kickback. However when I looked at the manual they only gave me instructions for checking this alignment as opposed to setting it, which was kind of weird. Most other saws would have you loosen the trunnion bolts, so I tried that with this, but appears they were drilled to a close fit as opposed to slotted, so you can't scoot the blade assembly left-to-right with respect to the table. There's another vid out there where they have folks messing with the vertical rod couplings. Kind of weird, and there's not enough play in mine to get it to move left-to-right reliably.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think that power button is a magnetic contactor switch. The current running through the saw keeps it switched on. So basically if the power is cut(as in unplugging the saw) , the switch turns off by itself and will only come on if you switch it manually while its plugged in. So for me that wouldn't be an issue. Great vid nonetheless. Cheers!

Great review! Only item that i do not like with this ridgid saw from what i can see is it no longer carries there lifetime LSA warranty. That has come in handy several times for me. I've also found my local homedepot is a repair center even though ridgid does not advertise this. i've been looking at this saw as an upgrade and came from the same jobsite saw you previously had. It actually had the same blade height adjustment failure. I took it to homedepot and they fixed it free of charge. I've been disappointed with my jobsite saw since the day i bought it. My father has what appears to be the same saw, but a model older and the build quality is significantly better. From the aluminum cast table to the blade the stand, everything was more robust.

I have the Delta branded version of this saw and the table isn’t flat at all, it’s about 0.5mm lower in the center! The square tube sections the fence is riding on aren’t same height which means the fence is pumping into this step all the time. If you buy this saw no matter which branding you choose, checkbit carefully! Other than that this is a great saw at the price point. I upgraded from the Dewalt DWE7491 and it is a major upgrade for not much more money. But I have to say the Dewalt jobsite saw seems to be much better than what you had before…. But it costs only ~$150ish less than the contractor saw.

It's super noticeable if you're not just doing construction. I'm excited to see these out and about. It's just a Ridgid licensed 725T2 but those are good saws so I'm sure these will be too. For anyone that frequently exceeds 30 inch rip capacity I would highly recommend a track saw. It's a great asset to have one around for a lot of different projects.

I purchased a R4514 from Home Depot during the 2021 Holiday Season to replace a 30 year old K-Mart 10 inch table saw on stationary stand which cost $99.99 back in the day and is kept outdoors undercover with a waterproof BBQ cover for protection from the weather elements. That old saw has given me my money's worth over the years. Although the R4514 specifies a 30 inch rip, too bad Ridgid uses plastic gears for raising and lowering the blade.

I'll keep my Ridgid TS3612, they really went downhill after the 3612. My 3612 is wired into a 220V outlet, plenty of power for all those heavy ripping duties. The Sawstop Contractor saw is 120V or 240V, you simply rewire the motor for 240V once you move to a location that you can use it that way. A side note...many saws equipped with a multi-voltage motor doesn't give you maximum HP unless its wired up to a 220V outlet, so on a 1.5HP saw on 120V, you might be getting 1HP max.

Just ordered this saw from HD. Should be a considerable update from my old Makita 2708 with a slightly bent fence. Was holding out for a Laguna F2 but given the price and what I really need the table saw for I couldn’t justify the price. Hopefully the 4560 does what it needs to without any issues!

@KenNordin 2 года назад

@@SpencleyDesignCo I had a Laguna Fusion I for several months. It had a very smooth running motor and was well built. However. the fence was mediocre at best and it spewed sawdust out the blade opening. I suppose that's why they put dust collection on the Blade. It's there for a reason and the reason is not a selling feature. At first, I thought is was due to blade alignment so I set about aligning the blade. That task was a challenge to say the least. There are 4 bolts to loosen, 2 in the back and 2 in the front where the trunnion mounts to the top. The bolts use an allen wrench and mine were extremely tight. Getting at them is tricky as there is no opening at the back or the front of the saw, only on the sides and those openings are adequate IF you have small hands and long fingers. I ended up laying the saw upside down for easy access which led to flipping the saw back and forth until it was aligned. I needed to use a secondary tool to grab ad twist the allen wrench in order to get enough torque to loosen the bolts. After getting the saw back on the stand and ripping a board, the sawdust spewed forth as bad as it was before. I spose it could be that I didn't get it aligned properly but I wasn't going to go through that again. Very good saw except for that. UGH!! UFF-DA!!!! I'll take the Ridgid, thank you very much.

I had an old Delta model that was a really good model, but I bought it second hand and it was kind of beat up. Then I closed a garage door on it. Oops. So I bought the rigid 4512, which I think is the previous model of this saw. It's a hybridcontractor/cabinet type. It has been pretty good. I have not found an issue with the fence or the table like some, but the workmenship is not what a Delta would be. Sloppy welds and such The thing I hate most is the thin throat plate. Its arrangement makes it very difficult to route duplicate plates like I did for the Delta, so I am stuck with buying their zero clearance plates. I cannot say that I would be making better stuff with Delta, but if I had to do it again i would spend the extra money.

Your saw has a magnetic switch. If it you disconnect it, or it loses power it should not start when plugged back in or the power comes back on. Also, I had the Delta version of this saw and had 2 problems with it. One issue was the table was not very flat. The big problem was the fact that the arbor assembly had play in it and my zero clearance insert looked like the one from your old saw. I could grab the arbor nut and rock the assembly back and forth. I went to my local Lowes and the display model did that same thing. I returned it and went with a different saw. I bought a Fusion F2, had problems with that and returned it. I then ended up with a Shop Fox W1837 and have been very happy with it. What should you buy? Well, I built a mobile base for my saw with built in extension tables and storage. Got a real fence for it and all is well. At the time I did not want to get another job site saw either. The contractor version of the Saw Stop was a no go for me due to the external motor. A full cabinet saw was a no go as I need it to be mobile. The Delta, and then Shop Fox W1837 both work well with my mobile table idea. However, now that I look at my table, I could have easily built the able around the Saw Stop jobsite saw, and still used the same fence setup that I have now. I have a Jet Xacta rail kit with 53" rip capacity and a Very Super Cool Tools fence. It is a great setup. Anyway, just wanted to share this info. There are 3 big drawbacks to jobsite saws. The stability of the saw on the stand, the small table surface area and the bad fences. I could have resolved all of those issues with my mobile stand and had the safety features of the Saw Stop.

The DeWalt saws are great but very pricey for what it is and the Delta has a far superior before-the-cut distance which is the absolute worst if any job-sight saw... Even the Bosch and Metabo saws suffer here. I can't get over how similar your saw (and I looked at it online in depth) is to the Delta 36-725 T2 which I just bought. I made the same assembly mistake and had the BS on backwards. The for pedal should be on the left side so you can easily access is but you have yours on a mobile platform so no harm, no foul.
