This is a great deal, got mine for this price last black Friday. I also joined the Facebook group for owners of this model, just searched the model number and it came up (r4514)

Just purchased this, along with the universal miter saw stand for $99. I hope it allows me to be more mobile!

It does - 6" dado stack up to a width of 3/4"

I've been debating this all morning. It is currently $50 less than their BF ad price so probably the lowest it will go. I also have the 15% off coupon which would take it down to about $250 which is a great deal. The only reason I'm holding off was this article from a previous post.

I'm sure for the price I'll never find one better but not sure it it's worth holding out for a better saw. It would be for hobby use only so I don't need top of the line but also want to get a decent saw.

The main issue was the arbor nut was a bear to break loose some times when changing blades and eventually locked and destroyed the gear and the saw became essentially worthless. Maybe they fixed that issue, when it was new I was happy with it but I only got 3 years out of it before it was garbage.

Thanks OP, was able to get it for $269. I had a 10% off coupon that I received in the mail a few days ago.

I was thinking/wondering the same thing...maybe someone will chime in soon.

There's no doubt that the jobsite Sawstop is better, but it's also more than 4 times the price of this.

That's the previous version of this. Have they made improvements since then? Not sure. I'm wondering if that Metabo/Hitachi will go on sale again as that seems to be a better buy. My main concern is the fence. Rack and pinion better for accuracy

Please don't try to use a table saw on a miter saw stand. That stand will be too high to use safely and isn't made for the lateral force of table saw use.

Well I bought the 3hp PCS, so ten times the price.... I guess it depends how much you value your time, money and extremities. I love ridgid tools but this saw went in the trash bin after 3 years.

When the ridgid worked, it cut stuff, not very accurately and again changing blades, good luck. Grab a hammer and a 2x4 to break it loose. This is a design flaw. The other problem I have with it is the design of the throat plate basically means you will not be able to buy or make a zero clearance insert for it. The dewalt jobsite saws on the otherhand you can easily pattern one out of MDF. That is a huge problem if you ever want to eliminate tearout.
