I'm in the market for a new table saw in the $500 to $600 range. Today I spotted the Ridgid TS3650 at our local Borg for $570. Any oppinions out there concerning the table saw. Is it a keeper or a boat anchor? The new saw will be replacing a 25 year old Wards 10" saw.
I have a ridgid TS2424. The left miter slot is .750", which is smaller than the .755" of the big name saws, and .753" of many extra equipment, like the Delta Tenoning tool. My accu-miter precision miter gauge fit, *barely*, but wouldn't move.
So, check to see what size the slots are. If they haven't changed them, you're in for some future frustration. The finish of the table is a little rough, as well. My saw is fine for me, but I'm a relative newbie.
