I really didn't know that my Ridgid TS-3650 would do that

Post by robinson46176 »

I knew that it had a decent depth of cut but was a bit surprised to notice today that it easily cut a common dimension 2" X 4" on edge. I guess I just never tried to cut one like that on it before...
I really love that saw and its great fence. Everything really. I was really disappointed to note after I bought mine some years ago at HD that the one HD was then carrying had a really crappy fence on it compared to the TS-3650. I bought that saw because of the fence. I was not even in the market for a tablesaw back then. I had several others that I could use to supplement my SS's if I need to. Then one day (I'm afraid to look to see how many years ago it was, it's usually scary) I was in the big orange box and I just in all innocence walked over and looked at the saw. It looked pretty good to me. I then reached out and worked the latch and moved the fence back and forth and then mumbled those famous words... "I think I am in love". :) :rolleyes: :cool: :D
I still really love that saw...
