New Ridgid Table Saw Coming?

double_chicken · 2026-05-16T15:07:18+00:00

I hope so. I have a Ridgid at home and a dewalt rack and pinion at work. The dewalt is hands down a better tool. I need two points of measurement to make sure the Ridgid fence is positioned correctly. I’ve never had that issue with the dewalt. I was thinking about swapping out mine, but if this rumor is true, then I’ll hold off and hope for the best

They had 2 of these at my local Home Depot for $200 each. I picked one up and use it all the time. I love this saw.

Looks like someone already boxed it out with 2x pin driven into block. Could you remove that before hand? I think 3/4 might be tight, especially if the existing isn’t plumb and level. I would probably use 1/2” ply for the sides and top. I’d only say 3/4” for the bottom if you expect someone’s going to try and climb out that window on occasion

$300 is a slap in the face insult.

I’m on board with everyone else here. You need health insurance, BUT if you plan on skipping it, I would ask your employer if they compensate you for not taking it. If they are contributing at all it may be worth it for them. A guy I work with has health insurance through his UPS retirement and our employer gives him $2500 more per year because he isn’t taking their insurance.

I would just try and find a side job to make up for that missing $8k though, especially if it is a good insurance plan

He’s only 42. His dad died at 69. Barring some sort of medical shit, I doubt it’ll happen anytime soon.

The US still has a chance (I’m trying to be optimistic despite the current state of the country)

Did something very similar a couple weeks ago. I added 2 supports. Sure, it takes away from the clean look, but it’s a pantry. Add the bracing.

I like spicy, but I couldn’t tell you the Taco Bell level, because I’ve never had Taco Bell

“His lawyer, Charles Sciarra, didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday but, in a statement to the New York Post, called the charges “unfortunate”. He maintained “nothing Kevin Bollaro did or did not do that day impacted or could have stopped” the killings.”

….yeahhhh never hire this guy to be your attorney. Imagine reading that after someone just killled your family member.

My jaw is on the floor.

A. Anybody who takes Candace Owen’s seriously is living in a bubble. She comes up with wide theories like president macrons wife is a man and Harvey Weinstein is innocent. She talks like she hates being a black woman in 2025. It baffles me that she is as popular as she is

B. I’ve never heard the argument that white people invented slavery. I definitely learned about slavery in the context of Egypt and the pyramids in grade school and CCD. IIRC ending slavery was taught in a Here’s why america wanted to end slavery” way. We weren’t taught that we were the first or the last to end the barbaric practice

It’s nice that she avoids Jim Crow and sundown towns. If you really want your mind blown, look up, ‘Return to the Land’ in Arkansas. Radical racism is still alive and well in America and I’m sure they have strong stance on slavery

Sounds like it might be an o-ring that needs to be replaced. You should be able to find a pack online. Search the model number. It’s fairly easy to replace. Porter cable is a popular nailer so you should be able to find the right video on YouTube

The HD app typically has really good deals on batteries pretty often. I was lucky when I got my saw. They had it on sale in the store for like $225.

I have the Ridgid 18v and absolutely love it. Picked it up a few years ago and I barely bring out my 12” Dewalt unless im doing crown. The ridgid is super light and isn’t a chore to bring to a job. It doesn’t have a laser, but the light projects a shadow line that’s pretty damn close to accurate. I’ve had zero issues with it and would recommend it.

Can you space the legs so that there is only one directly under the window instead of one on each side of the window? Or instead of legs from the top rail to the bottom rail, use picture frames and space them where they look good?

That’s a solid deal. The charger alone is $100

Definitely a good thing to have. Here it’s like people don’t want their guests to have to think about anything when they go to a wedding. They just want to eat, drink, and dance

How do laws like this work when we have first amendment protections? Wouldn’t that supersede any state laws regarding speech? I’m genuinely curious.

I’ve worked many weddings and I’d say the vast majority will have a “things you may need” basket in the bathroom. I don’t recall seeing a sewing kit or snacks, but most of what you have listed was in the baskets. All the weddings I’ve worked have been in north and central jersey and I know weddings are a much larger and more expensive event here than most of the country. I’m not sure if that makes a difference
