A: Nope, only a 7-1/4” blade will fit.
by|Jan 14, 2023
A: No, not enough clearance.
by|Jan 12, 2023
A: No. The distance between the mounting point in the middle & the top is designed for only a 7-1/4" blade. If they made a cordless circular saw that could cut a 4x4 or larger, I definitely would get it.

Good basic miter saw - NOT DUAL BEVEL!!!
A good basic miter saw. Easy to set up. Accurate enough for basic work - baseboards, casings, rough cuts, but IT IS NOT A DUAL BEVEL MACHINE up to 48 degrees. Ridgid confirmed this, but continue to falsely advertise. The problem is the fence. It has not be designed to allow the motor assembly to pass on right for bevels beyond 33.9 degrees. Works fine for cuts on the left up to 48. Just know this if you consider buying it. 4-stars for a good basic unit minus 1 for design flaw = 3 stars.

Other that the miter arm being so tight when I took it out of the box, and not moving to 90° (I figured it out) It’s very easy to use

I bought this saw for its 70 degree miter capabilities. I couldn't be happier. It was close to square out of the box and was easy enough to adjust. It's got power and amazing capabilities.

Check Your Fence Bolts Immediately!!
Check your fence bolts ASAP!! I may have been a one-off issue, but I waited a year and now regret it. They used so much loctite I had to drill the bolt heads off, beat the fence off with a mallet, and then broke two bosses trying to extract the screws.

I wanted this thing when it first came out. That one only was able to cut at a single angle on the pivot. This one can cut both sides and I feel like it's so much better than what I was expecting. Very quiet cuts really well very straight cuts that was one thing I was very surprised about. I really do like it and I have it attached to the wall in my van compact enough to do what I need to do. I already have a 12-in miter saw and bringing that along everywhere just to cut small little pieces is a pain. Having this compact miter saw battery pack is perfect for all the little jobs that I do. And if I need to do a big job I still have my 12-in miter saw. Honestly though I was able to cut a 4x4 post no problem and couldn't believe that I was even able to cut a 6x6 post I had to spend it around on all four sides but it did cut. One thing I do have to say that was one issue. The little sticker that allows you to get the degrees came off. But I called up Bridget and they sent me out another one for free. Wasn't too much of a big deal.

No Adjustment Needed
Cut Square and 45 out of the box. Wanted the Dewalt 12” sliding miter saw, but due to lack if availabilty I went with Ridgid. Heavy to lug around but it will get the job done.

I like my new saw!
As a "collector" of mitre saws, the ridgid saw has performed well so far. The motor has impressive power and the small light over the cutline is a well thought out accessory. Perhaps the most useful feature is the pair of swing out tables, which allow an industry leading 70 degree cut in either direction. The ease of adjustment for the fence makes cutting in the tilting position quite easy compared to other saws i have used. Changing the blade was quick and easy with the conveniently stored wrench.
It is obvious that the designers of this saw consulted with some carpenters!

Very close to square right out of the box. The only minor issue was that the blade bolt started to loosen after a half day - could tell as the brake wasn’t working the same - but a simple twist and it was good again. Very quiet, very precise and fits both my Rigid large frame/wheel cart and the smaller solid leg cart.

Great saw. Alot of options and the truly the industry leader for 70 degree cuts. The stand i got for it is beefed up to handle the abuse. Highly recommend but you better do some arms -pulls to load it.
