Have the R4514. Never like the stand it came with, plus to low to use my workbench as an outfeed. Going to make this but a bit taller.

+Marcelo Freitas Thanks Marcelo. Great to hear from you!

Haha! Believe it or not, those are drawer pulls from a dresser I had when I was a kid!

Oh definitely. I feel like I have much better control than using just a push stick.

I paid just $80 for the new one and it was on a steel craftsman stand. Recently I passed on a late 1950 early 60's craftsman band saw for $80 it was nice but I just didn't have the cash.

Thanks!

If it's on wheels it doesnt really matter how heavy

I made one with the 3/4" ply to *ensure* it would be heavy. I don't want this thing to be top-heavy when I'm cutting on top of it.

I was actually looking at buying this exact kind, it was $279 at Home Depot; I went with the skilsaw for $399 and ACME Tools threw in a stand and Diablo finish blade as part of the pre order. Happy woodworking.

I had so many people recommend this saw, so I bought it. It is probably the best saw for the money you can buy. Most saws in that price range are really crappy, but Ridgid included some seriously good features and a decent rip fence.

What model saw is that??

Hi Benjamin!

can i use my table saw that doesnt have a riving knife without too much danger?

@@gibson_rulls4992 the knife is one of the most important , use it.

@@gibson_rulls4992 microjig! Maker of the grrripper makes a throat plate for older table saws built without a riving knife that has a splitter (basically a non adjustable riving knife) built in

that is a 300 dollar drawer, more expensive than the table saw itself

I just sliced my jig up. Didn’t hold it to the board right and whoops

They just seem to accumulate!

Thank you!

Also, the actual content of the video is excellent as well 😊

I know it's an old thread... and you might not even care anymore... There are quite a few truly good nail-guns and combination machines... most stores have a popular "in-house" brand that you can find to do most everything you need with a couple questions to the floor staff... and/or a local contractor. However, (where my input might help most), it's just experience here... ANY carpenter with an interest in nails at all, should probably check into TWO hammers... 1. The "Normal-human all day hammer"... This is just slightly "light" for you... It should still be reasonably sized (length) and balanced for your hand, which is more important as a detail in a hammer than anything else about it... BUT where it might be tempting to "man-up" and go after the heaviest beast in the shop, even a 14 oz. hammer is fine... Consider that you might plan on swinging it ALL DAY, rather than just carrying it around... 2. The "Cadillac"... This is where the "beast-mode" comes into play. We all have it... There are occasions when you're going to NEED to drive something "obscene"... It's just a fact... AND this is the instrument for that specific purpose. BUT I gotta say, there's nothing more satisfying than a "one-shot sinker" with an 18D framing nail... AND you can win a few beers "after work hours" on bets if you find just that perfect balance between length and a "HEAVY ASS" hammer-head... My personal "Cadillac" is a 22.5 oz. claw-head I found some years back and stuck on an 18.5" (36.2 cm) long hickory handle. AND so long as I don't plan on using the thing ALL DAY, I have a tendency to reach for it over the "normal human" sized one... It's just nice to give a few taps, and then make consistently faster progress. Now, for lighter framed folks, weights can go down... and obviously, the weights go up for heftier folks. This just isn't the subject or place to get too much gumption for your own good. At the "tool section" of the hardware shop of choice, you'll probably be well advised to practice swinging... SO while you're thinking about it now, it's a good time to figure out some relatively normal "target" you can bring with you for testing "semi-destructively" for hammer-target practice... This lends you the advantage of actually demonstrably measuring your fit with a hammer in the store... and you stand a better chance of buying a good fit, rather than getting a flashy expensive name on a new hammer you can't stand swinging (because it still sucks)... Just my experience, now... but 90% of the time, inefficiency with a hammer is more bad fit with its user than a bad hammer... There are folks who just don't get "focus", or need practice "keeping your eye on the nail"... BUT more often even than that, it's just a poor balance of hammer to person, than much of anything... Unlike tools and clothes, we (humans) are NOT "off the rack" standardized products. ;o)

+Tom Denny Yes, you are correct. People have different tastes in music. Crazy!
