So maybe you want to buy a RIDGID 4512 and you think this table is a little familiar to you and you’re right. She looks a lot like a very good craftsman 21833 10 Contractors food saw. This saw represents an amazing price-performance ratio. At the time of writing, you can purchase a Ridgid 4512 for $549 at Home Depot, $22 more than the 21833 Craftsman available at Searers. So let’s see what you get for your money.

Height and weight
The Ridgid 4512 is another heavy construction table that weighs 267 pounds. Heavy saws generally mean less vibration and more stability. So if you don’t have to move the canteen saw from one job to another, this could be a good thing for you. The Ridgid 4512 also has the same wheelbase as the Craftsman 21833. I really like this smart drawing. The foot control makes it easy to lift the table saw on wheels and move it around the workshop. It’s great to have a first class space in your workshop or garage.

The cast iron worktop measures 20 x 27 and has pressed steel extensions 27 x 14 5/8, each measuring a very large 49 x 27. You can break the maximum width of 30 inches on the right side of the blade and 15 inches on the left. The table is just over 37 inches high.

Sheets and dado
The RIDGID 4512 is supplied with a 10-inch combination rod with about 40 tungsten carbide tips. Like all table saws, the supplied saw blade is good for roughing up, but you will notice a huge difference in the quality of the cut if you buy a decent saw blade that is better suited to your needs. The saw is equipped with a standard 5/8 inch saw blade, making it suitable for any standard 10 inch saw blade.
The RIDGID 4512 also accepts dado knives up to 13/16 inch wide and can safely cut rabbit and dado knives up to 1 1/2 inch wide.
Safety
The RIDGID 4512 has a fairly standard blade protection system that consists of a plastic blade protector, a bulging blade and non-slip feet. The separation wedge has two positions. The high position is used with the blade guard and splash lock for cuts, while the low position, where the splitting wedge blade is below the top of the blade, allows unauthorized cuts and dado. The knife protection system can be added and removed without tools. The sounding knife can also be positioned without tools.
The saw is supplied with a plastic pressure rod, which is attached to the side of the saw.
Fence and gauges
The RIDGID 4512 comes with an aluminium fence mounted on aluminium rails at the front and back of the saw. The fence can easily be moved on rails and is attached to both the front and rear rails. It is securely fixed, does not bend and locks at right angles to the blade. If you are unlucky enough to have a saw with a slightly uneven fence, follow the setting instructions and you should have no problems. Sometimes problems occur when purchasing a new tool, but they can usually all be solved with a small solution.

The mitre holes on the cast iron table are standard 3/4 x 3/8 ton slots. So you have the possibility to use either the included mitre knife or one of the many excellent mitre knives in the back office, if you prefer.

Motor
The RIDGID 4512 is equipped with a very powerful 13-valve belt-driven induction motor that runs at 3450 rpm. The motor is already connected to 110 volts, but can be reconnected to 220 volts if you have one in your workshop. Just follow the instructions in the user manual.
Conclusion
RIDGID gave us a very good canteen saw. It’s ideal for a carpenter who doesn’t have the space or budget to justify a furniture saw or hybrid saw, but still wants good quality and a good size cast iron table saw without breaking the sofa. Thanks to the belt-driven induction motor, you get a quiet, smooth and powerful saw that can handle anything you want without any problems.
I really like the wheelbase (the same as Craftsman 21833). By simply pressing the pedal lever, the wheels unfold so that the saw can be easily moved around the workshop.
