Throat Plates for the Ridgid R4514 Table Saw
Instead of buying a dado throat plate for your ridgid table saw, DIY! All you need is 1/2” MDF, your saw, a jig saw, sander and a chisel! The first one takes a bit of time, but after that you can’t batch these things out!

Reversible Crosscut Sled
Просмотров 6822 года назад
Tackling one of the first projects that should be on any aspiring woodworkers todo list… a cross cut sled. What sets mine apart is it’s reversible for mitered cuts. Granted I’ve seen lots of crosscut sleds that have removable inserts for dados, zero clearance, and miters. I think those are a little over kill for my purposes now, so here’s what I came up with.

Again, thank you so much.

  • @stephandelange1776
    @stephandelange1776 9 месяцев назад

    Unfortunately for you, you got a defective plunge base. Cause that 1/4'' gap you have with it, I dont on mine. Mine is tight to the top, no play at all. If I were you I would contact the company, cause you truly have a defective plunge base! I have two, cause I do have one on my router table, that I bought cheaper with only the fix base. It works great for my router table and it works really good on my wood working. And as you said which is true, the wrench is crap, get yourselves a better wrench for it, theres too much play and you can risk damaging the collet nut after a while. So change that thing for something better. There are better routers out there of course. But for simple DIYers on a budget, The Skil is a good way to go. Thanks for your video and Good Luck

    Just received this as a replacement for my 4510 which was in for repair. Pretty sure that one was sold mostly assembled, if not completely assembled. This along with less plastic tooling likely accounts for the lower price on this newer unit.

  • @daniel29273
    @daniel29273 Год назад

    I bought this and returned it after a week. The lack of rack and pinion fence and the angle markers being off are enough to frustrate anybody halfway serious

    • @diamondwoodworks6373
      @diamondwoodworks6373 Год назад

      Granted I no longer have the saw, but the angle markers never bothered me. IMO if you’re half way serious you would rely on the angle markers and use a digital gauge. As far as the fence, the rack and pinion system is definitely better as far as holding square but they do shift a bit more as they get older and you find yourself not trusting running longer/bigger stock through.

  • @ginoasci
    @ginoasci Год назад

    i had one. it’s the biggest piece of crap. do not waste your money or you WILL waste your time and you WILL be very frustrated. horrible tool. took forever to get it aligned and still not right. raising and lowering the blade was “horrible”. first 1 1/2” was ok, then it got real hard. changing the angle was a joke. you have to gravi it from the front and the back and string arm it to love. if you even loosen the snag rod just a little, and locked it down, it would move. that’s dangerous. you should have to tight with your tools like that. the top is not flat. i took the time to swap one out, and that top was also not flat. it also failed when it comes to cut quality. get a load of this…..the blade would move from side to side. SAW MARKS EVERYWHERE!!! ridgid should pay us to even consider using that junk. it’s always the same young jerk that answers the phone in the complaints department so you won’t get anywhere with him. he doubts everything you say as if we have never used a tablesaw before and we are making up what we say. as if their table saw is good quality. he should be fired and arrested for falsely representing a product. ridgid does make some good tools, but they really dropped the ball on this job site saw. save yourself.

    • @diamondwoodworks6373
      @diamondwoodworks6373 Год назад

      As mentioned in a previous comment, I no longer have this saw but I never had any really negative comments. It did take a good while to square up everything, and never got the fence at a perfect 90 to the table surface. However, I understood that stamped steel and aluminum would never be “perfect.” I also never had issues with any of the adjustments. Even if you spend almost double the price of this saw, you still won’t get a table that is flat. The Delta 36-725 is considered one of the best values, and it’s cast iron top is .01 out of tolerance… and it’s milled cast iron! There’s pros and cons to everything. The best saw in its class (DeWalt 7491) has a much worse miter adjustment and a few other issues. Again, without paying $2-3,000 for a saw… you’re going to have to compromise. Thanks for the comment and sorry to hear about your experiences.

I may add a few neatly designed narrow slots along the back & side to help vent the heat from the vacuum. Only downside to this design, is it's large and takes up a lot of space. I made it for a Ridgid 14 Gal. I wish I made it for a smaller vacuum.

I do know it was a bit lower than I liked, but ultimately I plan on building a work bench around it. In the mean time it just sits in a piece of 3/4 in ply to raise it a bit.

    • @diamondwoodworks6373
      @diamondwoodworks6373 2 года назад

      The dado plate was actually way easier to make. After making the zero clearance I knew where to remove material from underneath, and took care of that with a chisel. Once it was laying flat on the saw just slapped my dado on it and slowly raised the blade. No need to notch anything as the riving knife is removed when using the dado stack.
