Does anyone have any input on the new DeWalt 1 3/4 hp contractors saw or the Ridgid 10″ contractors saws, I have been comparing all the different saws, and have found unlimited info on Delta and Jet, but none on either of these. I want it for general woodworking, that is why I want a contractors saw instead of a cabinet saw, (also the considerable price difference).

Hey Frankie,
Do you know UTLonghorn? Have a look at his post.
Coincidence?

*The DewWalt table saw is the only one that can accept all the different attachments and blades as a shop saw. All the dado blades etc. It's a nice saw but unless your going to use it alot buy a Mikita or something cheaper.
*Are you asking about the saw yu can take into the field ? If the choice is between dewalt or rigid, I would go for the dewalt. Accepts more blades is one thing but the main reason I prefer it is the rack and pinion fence, it is so accurate.We have several field saws and the dewalt is the favorite. In our area Home Depot used to be a major supplier of dewalt but are phasing them out in favor of their own brand "rigid". the only thing I do not like about the dewalt is the folding stand. it has some sharp edges and cuts deep when folding if a new guy is putting it away. If the fence is not critical and you can look further then look at Makita.
