1. Table Saw
1. Plan:
1. DONE Buy the Ridgid TS3650.
2. DONE Buy a push shoe (see if they have one at Home Depot, else could buy the Craftsman one that Sears has).
1. Use a push shoe rather than a push stick:

DRD-Pers 1. The LU88 is somewhat of an exception for a crosscut blade. The aggressive hook angle gives it the ability to rip respectably well on stock < 1" thick with minimal burning, minimal tearout, and at a surprisingly fast feedrate. Moderately thick pine, hard maple, cherry, black walnut, and oak were all handled with similar ease....I've even ripped 6/4" elm with it. It's difficult to detect blade marks and tearout on any cut I've made with the LU88. Most of the other good quality general

DRD-Pers 1. 22 2. Positive reviews. 7. Research: 1. Press Release: http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/25150 2. http://benchmark.20m.com/reviews/RidgidTS3650/RidgidTS3650Review.html 1. I believe its features place it in the "high end" category which makes the TS3650 a very good value. 2. The table height is 36.5 inches which is just a tad high. 3. The saw took about 4 hours to assemble but because it was aligned so well "out of the box", did not require any significant time to align, mainly just

DRD-Pers 4. The blade that comes with the Ridgid looked OK, but we opted to use our tried-and-true Freud “Glueline Rip, 60 tooth crosscut and combination blades because we know what they produce. After installing the Freud Glueline rip and turning on the saw, we were very impressed with the smooth, very low vibration and overall “tightness” of the saw. Part of this we deemed was the extra attention Ridgid paid to the pulley and special multi-band belt that connects the motor to the saw blade. An

DRD-Pers 1. I agree with a couple of other reviews that the side extension table is bowed in the middle. You can't help but have a ridge next to the cast steel table on the RH side. This causes the fence to stick at this point, so you have to lift it slightly. 2. After setup, (about 8 hours of time), I plugged her in. 3. With a Biesemeyer fence (now a subsidiary of Delta), Delta outfeed table that folds flat against the saw, removable splitter and overhead blade guard, this setup is just what I

DRD-Pers 1. Cabinet table saws are heavy (using large amounts of cast iron and steel) to minimize vibration and increase accuracy. A cabinet saw is characterized by having a closed (cabinet) base. Cabinet saws usually have electric induction motors in the 3 to 5 hp (2 to 4 kW) range. For home use, this type of motor typically requires that a heavy circuit be installed (in the US, this requires a 220V outlet). The motor is enclosed within the cabinet and drives the blade with three parallel v-bel
