A close look at some key differences you can expect between a professional cabinet table saw, like the Sawstop PCS, compared to a lower end beginner saw.

The sawstop is 4x the price of the ridgid, so it makes sense it is much better. Your video did a good job showing what you get for the price difference besides the safety brake which everyone always mentions. Enjoy the new addition to your workshop!

I had the same Rigid saw for a few years before upgrading to the saw stop. It is an excellent entry level saw. You can add jigs and put a sleeve on the fence for added height. If I recall the arbor length was shorter than most saws and it would not accommodate a full 3/4in dado stack. I added plywood between the legs to encase the motor and the dust collection was not too shabby.

I’m a DIY not professional woodworker and looked at this saw when i wanted to upgrade a few years but after seeing the price difference i couldn’t justify spending that much. Maybe if i was a pro i would have thought differently but the Rigid has been a fantastic decision for me. I really didn’t need to spend much time dialing it in and couldn’t agree more that i wish it had a better fence but mine makes accurate repeatable cuts. You nailed the dust build up issue with the Rigid but my fix was take off blade plate then with dust collection on use my compressed air blow gun to hit sides with some air, build up no more. Would i like a SS yes but for the amount i use them couldn’t justify the cost. Just went on website to price SS with mobile base @ $4,500 +delivery vs $750 for the Rigid…that’s a huge difference and if I was going to spend that kind of money I would consider a Powermatic

Agreed... quality new saw prices are way out of my range/budget. I've got a vintage 1969 Craftsman 113 I inherited and spent about $500 to make it my dream saw. Three additional cast iron extensions (eBay), a Peachtree cast router table extension (with its own fence) & Jessem router lift, Delta 36-T30 T3 fence system, Jessem Stock Guides, custom plywood mobile base and some other minor updates. The Delta fence and Jessem stock guides were the best investment I made. It now easily does 36.5" rips to the right, 10" to the left and is rock solid, probably weighs 400+ lbs! It lacks better dust collection the newer saws have, but I'm working on that. Next step is to upgrade the motor to a 2-3 HP 220V. Sometimes an older saw, in decent shape to begin with, is a much more cost effective option.

We have a Ridgid TS3650 saw in our shop. It is 15 years old. It is used ever day 5 days a week. In the 15 years it has been in our shop, with the exception of blades and belts, it has never needed 1 replacement part. The saw has an all cast iron top, not stamped steel. Weights in at 290 lbs. It is powered by 220 VAC. It has an excellent fence, we don't the the original miter gauge. Instead we use an Incra Miter Sled. It has the Herc-U-Lift 4 wheel truck that allows it to be moved around. Although I can't remember the last time it was moved. The Ridgid 4512 is a toy next to the Ridgid TS 3650. The Sawstop is a great saw. You can't cut your finger off with it. We don't have that problem in our shop. Unlike most of the crazy people on KZbin that use saws without blade guards, No one in our shop is allowed it use the saw without the blade guard.

For the price and quality that Ridgid table saw is a great deal for a hobby woodworker. I bought mine at Home Depot over a decade ago and it's still the same price now as it was then. Which means it's an even better deal today than when I got mine. It's not perfect but I've made fine furniture using it that came out great. Like John says, you just need a little more setup time when cutting.

Great video comparison, I have the same Ridgid table saw. As I DIYer and hobby woodworker I have found the Ridgid saw to be sufficient. Obviously, I'd love the Saw Stop or any number of other table saws. In my case does the cost justify the purchase. For anyone who uses it to make a living I totally agree. For the average guy, if you can afford it, I say get the saw and whatever other tools you like. Plus, the safety features are priceless.

Actually put sawstop wings on it lol(wasn't easy) but when my business picked up I knew I needed more and ended up buying the same sawstop as you have in the video and no regrets. Does everything I need with ease and after 3 years of owning it not one hardwood has bogged it down and I did set off the brake. Thats a very surreal feeling and not a good one lol.

you can buy a powermatic 66 or older delta unisaw for around $1000, they are American made, far better built and more accurate than anything made today overseas. I see no advantage in a saw stop, if you use the machine properly and safely you shouldn't have an issue and need the brake, which Btw does trigger sometimes unexpectedly with various materials and will cost you a new cartridge and a new blade. and if you use good blades that could be $150 right there

I don't think that this is a fair comparison between these two saws. The Ridgid is a contractor type saw and the Saw Stop is a professional cabinet saw. Of course everything's going to be better on the Saw Stop, it's a 3k dollar Saw with double the hp motor vs a $700 Saw with a 1 1/2 hp motor. No comparison. This should be compared to a Saw of its equal, both saws actually. Also I think Bosch was the first to come out with the blade brake system. For some reason they didn't stick with it. Maybe because it was crazy expensive at the time. Anyway I like your videos. Keep up the good work.

Comparing a 700.00 saw against a 3,600.00 saw yes there will be many better features

As I stated, that’s the point. To show the improvements you get for the extra money

No way to compare the Ridgid saw (749.00) to the Saw Stop (3582.00) thats like trying to compare a Rolls Roice to a Hundi Sonata..................

You missed the point. Which I stated right in the video. Just showing exactly what you get for the extra money, obviously it’s better.

I wonder if ppl understand the meaning of the word "budget". As a DIYer and hobbyist even the RIDGID is out of budget for me.
@JohnBuildsIt
@JohnBuildsIt Жыл бұрын
I get that but factually the Ridgid is the lowest priced cabinet saw on the market, so in comparison it is the budget option

The title, thumbnail, and me speaking literally say “what’s the differences?” Which is what I went over…….

This is not apples to apples. A 3 1/2 HP vs maybe a 3/4 HP. I have a Sawstop PCS and a Delta contractor saw they don't even come close.!!!!!!!! I don't know why YTers put content like this on YT..
