Dewalt vs Ridgid Job site table saw.

mguthrie said:

Wow. I've got a bunch of dewalt tools. From cordless drills,electric drills,jig saws,sawzall. These get used on a daily basis for the most part. Ridgid won't stand up to the kind of work I do and I don't have time to mess with warranties. When a tool wears out it gets scrapped and I buy a new one. We use makita circular saws though. You can't beat them with a stick

I'm in the same boat. I've used DeWalt tools for over 20 years without a problem. When my mud mixer literally burned up, I didn't hesitate to buy the 9 amp DeWalt drill motor.

Rigid... I like their shop vacs.

But I do prefer Skil wormdrives over any other circular saw. They last forever, and cut microlam like butta.

Those old skil wormdrive saws used to be the goto saw on a framing crew. They're just to heavy for me. They do last forever

Rigid isn't absent in the worm drive market, and their price point on the saw is very favorable, given their warranty.

I have both a Gyokucho and a Dozuki saw. Both will lay you open if you don't handle them properly. Them Japanese know how to make some sharp cuttin implements.

I did pick up the the Rigid saw, I put a good blade on it the fence locks down well and will be fine for what I need.

Maybe a little better miter gauge, but nothing I'm doing now would need that. Happy with it!
