I need opinions on a tablesaw

Find a machinery dealer and get yourself a nice PM66.

I bet they can find one that is single phase too.

Under 1k, easy.

I prefer left tilt, but others grew up using right tilts.

I don't have a tilting arbor saw anymore.  Now the whole table tilts. [eek]

Well I did it. Ordered the grizzly model g0690 with Mobil base and zero clearance insert. Shipping to my front door was only 375 which I know sounds outrageous to most people, but that's what we are used to up here. When I get it in 7-10 days I let everyone know how the set up went and how nice it cuts.

Sorry for the late response; I hope you didn't junk the old table saw.

I had something very similar happen to my Bosch and after a bit of google searching narrowed it down to a little circuit board right by where the motor draws in air for cooling.  Not sure if the Ridgid's the same, but it was the chip that auto-corrected to keep the blade at the same speed; I'm sure there's a fancy name for it.  Part cost me $10-15 and after about 30 minutes of head scratching and dis/reassembling I was back in business.

Ooooh, looks like they're REALLY proud of theirs:

Hey Dave

Thanks for the info I will probably try to fix mine and sell it, now that the bigger better nicer stronger faster prettier quieter smoother one is on its way  ;D

I've got a couple more questions for the masses 1. the new saw i ordered has a riving knife which i am happy about, but i was going to put a thin kerf blade on it will i still be able to use the riving knife? 2.after checking out my old saw a little better i noticed that when i have the blade raised above the table about 2" or more it works perfectly, when i lower it down to 2" or lower above the table i cant even cut a 1" thick piece of pine. i am confident that it has nothing to do with the belt, any other ideas?

You will need a thin kerf R knife to use your new blade. You will have to at the very least remove the stock one to safely use the new blade.
