will the rigid r4510 riving knife work for the ridgid r4513?
Stodoys is a good solution for every woodworker.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up… blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter’s tape… this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
*For a serious professional who does a lot of carpentry,flooring…etc look no further,this is one great tool to have,especially because of a small light as addition which helps a lot in a case if You working long hours and need to finish a project real quick>>>**ur2.pl/782** I don’t think that I need to mention powerful motor and precise cuts, for a people who heard about DeWalt brand they will recognize it automatically, for others You won’t need anything better then this if You are shopping for a miter saw.*
If I own a n older rigid table saw, the one with the plastic knobs for blade and tilting actions, can I get a new tilting knob as mine broke due to the fact that it is made out of plastic? I do like my table saw. Fence is excellent and tracks really nice……

The portable table saw has and adjustable table width. and tape measure. However mine is more that two inches off. How do I align the width measure to the saw blade and have the fence reading be accurate.
Hey Rigid !! Make a damn zero clearance insert plate for the 4513 saw !!
I purchased a new R4512 in September of 2013 and It’s a tool for the wonderful for the price. My fence lines up perfectly. I can run a 1/2 inch dado stack easily. Very little vibration and I love the fact that I can move it around so easily to make it practical in my small garage shop. It’s great when it works.
I saw some reviews of the 4512 that said there were some problems so I called Ridgid before I purchased the saw. I was told that those problems had been resolved and that any saw I purchased should be fine.
I had to have the trunnion screw holes machined so I could get it to align and get a straight cut. The Run capacitor burned out and I can’t get a replacement part from Home Depot. Now the motor doesn’t want to start and the start capacitor checks out fine so that means there is something wrong with the motor.
The cost short cuts end up making it not worth the money. Not to mention the horrid policy of "you have to bring it in" to the Home Depot repair station. Really? Pack up a fully assembled table Saw and bring it in? They’ll deliver, they’ll install, but they won’t support their products when it might mean an expense.
I wasn’t worried about the life time warranty thinking that Home Depot would surely support their products for more than 90 days when the first problems happen. Even if they didn’t I would even be happy to pay for some service, however, they and Ridgid can’t even get me a simple replacement capacitor that I’m willing to pay for without having the life time registration. Then when I try to get it registered two weeks after the 90 days just so I can get parts I get ignored by Ridgid online support.
Now I have a nice R4512 assembly table and will spend the extra $400 to purchase a competitor’s saw. This is the only negative feedback I’ve ever posted and hope that it will be the only one I ever have to. Believe the bad reviews. There might be some good ones out there, but spending nearly $600 to play tool Russian Roulette isn’t my idea of a good bargain.
I will never purchase another Ridgid product.
The fence is worse than the plague
Unplug the saw and remove the yellow key…also cut all electric power to the house and call 911 just in case :))

Do you have a router that fits at the opening of the cast iron table saw
Just bought a new R4513. Missing parts and can’t raise the blade. Signs of future performance?
the lever that locks in the riving knife on my ridged R4512 is way way WAY too hard to push down into the locked position. How to I adjust this?
Thank you
i got an r4512 as a present about a year ago. overall I’d say the performance has been worth the price. out of the box the blade was dead lined up with the miter slots, but i had to shim the front trunions .090" to align the blade for miter cuts. 6 months ago i added a 2hp rigid router table based on the plans in the owners manual and have noticed the rails are starting to sag, i figure I’ll just have to add some diagonal supports or tubing under the rails to stiffen them up.
We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0KU3 Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur – but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.
Not sure I’d trust the scale to set my fence square to the blade.
Did the narrator say that the ridged table saw would accept a dado stack up to 6" in diameter..?? Please tell me he didn’t really say THAT…
VERY GOOD
just Picked up a USED R4516 and R4221- AMAZING QUALITY
KEEP UP GOOD PRODUCTS
Also have a USED 3300 Pressure Washer EFI RD80702/RD80905
Bevel gear broke, dont want to wait a month for authorized service center to get to it. Got new gears cant figure out how to get gears off, and videos
I tried to stop the blade with my mouth – why didn’t you tell me to unplug the saw and remove the key first ???? I’M SUING !!
So I contacted RIGID asking where can I buy R4512 in Italy and the
Head answer was u can’t because European use 240 volt hahaha. But I know that this sow can be set up to work on 240. Nice support u got Ridgid !
My old Ridgid Table Saw is 10 times better than the new saws. If you get a new one without the belt drive, you got troubles. The very first time the saw bogs down the cheap motor will burn out, then you must take it to an authorized repair shop where you will wait for months for parts from somewhere in China.
The guy running the closest repair shop told me he has three saws all waiting for parts for over two months. He told me; “unless you want to send my kids through college, get a saw with a belt drive” Virtually all contractor saws are the same thing. I also have a new Bosch contractor saw. When I turn it on the saw nearly leaps from the floor, it’s as loud as a jet engine and nearly impossible to make an accurate cut. The blade deflects so much that my new zero clearance insert looks like a regular insert.
If I have to replace my old saw, I’ll buy an old belt drive Delta or Craftsman off Craig’s list. It’s really sad, but the table saws available for purchase (new) these days are all junk.
Has anyone made or bought a zero clearance insert plate for the 4513 saw? If so, please share the info. Thanks.
When I try to remove the blade the whole shaft spins
I love you rigid
These geniuses don’t even know the difference between a framing square and a combination square
R4513… Really enjoying my new saw! Regarding use of a 6" dado stack, anyone know what to do with the loose riving knife lever? it’s loose in any position with the riving knife removed. thanks!
Dude in the video has to be wearing white tennis shoes.
I heard he’s going to sell it online soon, so you might want to get Heyzmar’s Woodworking Bible. Even though it’s not 100% complete it has some solid plans.
