Questions & Answers

direction on how to unlock slider bars to cut wider boards
ByJun 2, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hello, Thomas - First, locate the slide lock knob, which is usually found near the slide bar on the side or back of the saw. Then loosen the slide lock knob by turning it counterclockwise. This allows the saw arm to glide forward and backward on the saw rails (slider bars), which is necessary for cutting wider boards. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone or text at 1.866.539.1710, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact.

    What is the circled part in the attached picture? It is a plastic "tab" next to the lock knob on the sliding fence. No one seems to know what this is for.

                    Be careful and don’t break anything on this saw. Many of the replacement parts are already obsolete, discontinued, and out of stock.

                      Heavy Metal
                      This saw is a very durable and powerful tool. However, it is unbelievably heavy and unwieldy. This is better suited for a shop environment. Lugging this around a job site would be insane. There really isn’t a good carry position, so the center of balance is way off.

                        Arbor and "fine cut" for melamine
                        1. The arbor is not 1 inch even it's states in the description as well as on the box and comes with 1" blade (!), it's 5/8" in fact. 2. Tried with several brands of 80 teeth blades - cannot reach fine cut for 3/4 melamine, perhaps 'cause of still has some wobbling issue, like it's described in multiple reviews.

                          This thing is a tank
                          I bought this for a gym project. I ended up building a couple jerk blocks and my Delta was not going to be up to the task. It handles cutting 4x4 and 2x8 lumber with no issues. Be forewarned it is HEAVY. I consider myself pretty strong and getting it into my truck and out of the box was not exactly easy. A second set of hands would be helpful.

                            THIS SAW IS A TANK!!!!! I push every power tool I buy in the first couple weeks I own it to see what it can really do. This saw with the stock blade ate through everything my deck project threw at it. Out of the box the saw was pretty close to square. A few minutes with a speed square, 4' box level, and a digital angle gauge and this saw was dialed to within 1/2 of a degree of square when cross cutting a 2x12 engineered LVL header. Not bad considering the amount of potential deflection possible. At a bare minimum with this saw, upgrade the stock blade, upgrade the useless dust collection bag to a adapter (if needed) and shop vac, and keep the slide rails clean after every use and this saw will chug along.

                            So far not impressed
                            Just received the saw as part of a combo with the portable miter saw stand. So far have found issues with both the stand and the saw, but these do not seem to be shipping related, as both boxes were in perfect condition. The stand had damaged tubes that would not allow for proper assembly. As for the saw, the miter stop spring seems to be damaged. The saw will not stop in the detent positions and will slide right past. Going to try to get a replacement, will update review if remedied.

                              Super happy with this saw
                              Right out of the box, I am super happy with this purchase. Slap on a few parts and the blade, plug it in and ready to roll. Zero adjustments needed. I am sure over time I will need to do some but I am not building a watch. :-) I am a HUGE fan of the shadow line from the led light. It not only shows where you are going to cut but lights up the work area.

                                  I regret buying this saw and stand. They weight of the saw is way too heavy for loading out of the truck. It is literally bending the brand new wheels on the Ridgid stand. Will have to swap for a lighter dewalt saw and keep the stand.

                                    Not working right out of the box...
                                    Received this saw and after minimal assembly, with the blade installed, it was misaligned and hitting the throat plate. Tried all of the recommended adjustments and did not work. Took it to a designated Rigid repair shop and they were unable to fix it. Buying beware, the quality of these saws is questionable.
