Don't get me wrong, the Bosch is a great product but to get a setup similar to the Ridgid you will pay $300-400 more for the Bosch. That's what helped make my decision easier.
Stanley C. Pearse said:Thanks again Phil. I stopped by at HD last night on my way home from work and took a gander at it. You are right about the dust collection system...very simular to the Bosch.
I am intrigued about the Lifetime Warranty...have you seen any issues with it? Thinking about it...if Bosch is such a great product why don't they have one on their saw??? Hummmm.....
Phil Howard said:The dust collection is great on it. Also, when you fold the saw/stand into the stored position it only takes up a few square feet of space. From all of the reviews I've read it looks like Ridgid used the Bosch as it's benchmark... they are both very similar.
Stanley C. Pearse said:Thanks Phil. I will look into this saw.
One question...how is the dust collection / evacuation working on the saw?
Phil Howard said:Get the Ridgid r4510. It's alot cheaper, on par with the Bosch, better fence and warranty. I bought it 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Just make sure it's the r4510 and not the ts2410 because they look similar. The r4510 is the latest model with the split blade guard, riving knife, adjustable splitter, better stand and bigger on/off switch. The only downside so far is the dado insert plate is on back order and you'll have to make your own zero clearance throat plate. I got mine for $450 by using a Lowe's 10% off coupon at Home Depot (get a change of address packet at the post office, it'll include the coupon).
Was in HD again yesterday. While there I looked at the saw again.
1. Have you had an issue with the measuring tape that runs over the front rail?
2. How accurate is the distance gauge in the fence in comparison to measuring between the blade and the fence?
3. Any issues cutting hardwood (i.e. oak, maple)?
4. Do you know what horsepower the motor is?
Thank you Phil for your patience with my questions!!!!

By the way everyone. I ended up purchasing the r4510 from Ridgid. I just could not pass up the lifetime warranty and the saw was alot less too. The way I looked at it the money saved allowed me to buy another tool.
Thanks!!!!
I have the makitia 2705 very nice portable saw nice large wheels. The height of table is also very adustable. One problem is the insert plate is odd size diffcult to get a zero clearence plate. I bought an incra sled with incra 1000 hd miter gauge fixed most of the problems with the insert. I also have a sled I was building I am going to connet an incra positioner to do ripping.
Ok, When I was doing my leg work and internet eye search which portable table saw I wanted, budget $700.00 back then. Now, I have the bosch 4000- tablesaw without ditgal readout. This has a 3Hp motor, works great for me going on five years, got it for weekend projects, with limited space, Check Spindle runout was .0015 ths. in tolerance of spec was new, and still that way now. The mitre fence had .002 convex on tubing, I added a wood fence to correct that problem. Used stacking dado blade up to 3/4 wide slot. My opinion you get what you pay for, or go for the name. O' here's the kicker, keep the saw clean and respect the saw for safety reasons. This picture is over 4ys, I have an old habit of taking care of my equipment. Here's some stuff I made for my saw, a knee kill switch, extension support, dovetail replacment blade plate, and other stuff.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
