i remember I thought I almost broke my M12 because I was having trouble removing the blade, then I remember that the arbor was loosie right. This happens when you don't remove the blade after such a long time of usage.
@HVAC Quality Assurancewith your comment being a year old now & 20V and 40V stuff becoming the norm you can see the benefit of even something small like this being made an 18V right?
This is my new favorite tool . I have had it for the last week finishing out a new home . I have cut red iron, rebar, ceramic tile, and even 1x4 cedar trim with only one complaint. It eats batteries. I couldn't keep up with one charger and 2 2.0ah batteries. There is a slight drop in power when you get near the end of your charge. The guard is adjustable to 4 fixed positions just grab and twist. Cutting 18inx18in jagged edged floor tile I only had one break but on a very narrow edge cut. Its size makes easy to get the right angle in tight spots. Plus it's the quietest saw I have. The blades from Ridgid are by-order only from them but Dremel makes an assortment of blades that are a perfect fit. If you build by trade or hobby I recommend this tool. Worth every penny!!
The other day I saw your Toro riding mower "commercial" on RUclips. That's pretty cool. You know you're making good content when companies wanna use your vids for advertising!
Let the tool do the work. blade should be spinning towards you going back and forth moving forward into the material with only the weight of the tool for pressure. Doing this will make the disk last longer less smoke and cutting deeper. Shame thing for using a grinder can’t just smash the tool into the material and expect it not to jam and make a mess. I see this all the time improper use of grinders after 13 years as a welder.
I looked at this today in home Depot. I was considering getting one. Thanks for the video. I'm now undecided. Not just because if your experience with it, but I've also taken the comments into consideration. I'll be watching for your follow-up video.
I own this tool I love this tool. I carry this tool around with me everywhere. I am A handyman, it cuts tile. It cuts metal with ease, but the trigger is a speed control metal. You have to wind it up full To Full speed that spindle nut is a reverse nut. Did you look at the nut itself? It tells you which way to put it on and take it off. I always double check the marking on the nut before I remove the blade
I have the Milwaukee version and it works well, especially cutting holes in drywall. It doesn't cut metal that well though. I just use my grinder for that.
The Milwaukee one that is 12v? That one bogs down if dealing with any kind of real pressure. Test have shown that the Ridgid is actually twice as powerful.
@@waterheaterservices I tried this tool and chewed up the blades. Copper pipe, sweet and easy, Tile grout good, I found it did chew through my batteries, probably cuz of their age and size. The guard does rotate so you handle angle can change. I too took it back after not being able to source blades at Home Depot WTF is with that. I think for me the good task will be cutting the tile grout to remove a row of tiles.
@dmacl123 - I totally agree !!! I just don’t get the whole line of these tools, teeny tiny heads with a huge battery hanging off the bottom! I love my 12V tools because of the small battery that allows me to get into tighter spaces.
I have this and find it very convenient for things even with a bigger battery in it but it is only suited for SMALL things and the blade change is not optimal and Ridgid blades are not great IMO.
I was hoping when they came out with the subcompact tools but they would do a half inch impact driver like the Walt did with the Hognose impact driver.
the bolt have problably get a reverse twist its a security feature on all metal cutting tool that use a disc the bolt have reverse thread when the blade is turning automatically the bolt is going to tight maybe by forcing the blace so much you have tight the bolt so much that it came at a point that the bolt was not made to be remove with that much pressure that it is going to be all most impossible to remove it with out breaking it have you try a impact I think it is your best solution
WorkshopAddict which I suppose is fine. The M12 is more of a notch/box cutter as well. Not a good idea to do rips or cross-cuts with these. I’m actually more concerned about the power. If you have any porcelain tile kicking around, that might be a better gauge vs ceramic
please make a video calling the ridgid hotline and see what kind of hoops they make you jump thru, preferably pretending you didnt know to "register" the tool before it broke or whatever but lets assume you still have a receipt if you ever had one also did the jam up have anything to do with blade rotation direction? if you were spinning in reverse and cutting from the top like that it would almost self feed itself when jammed kind of like climb milling and really over torque itself abruptly
Try spinning it in the opposite direction of the mandrel bolt while smacking it into some wood to help loosen the bolt and see if you can get some AEROKROIL Penetrating Oil in the threads to help loosen it. Also u can try using a strong flat blade screwdriver with a striking cap on it (or dull chisel) and hit the bolt around it's outer circumference in a few different places, you'd be surprised how well it works. If that fails weld a washer & nut on it, or drill it out with left hand drill bits & try easy outs with splines work the best, or drill it out & re-tap the original threads, best done by using a drill press, lathe or milling machine to drill & tap straight thru it. Good luck.
@@WorkshopAddict Makita still uses 18650 cells in their LXT lineup for this exact reason, so you can use their compact 1.5ah & 2ah batteries. 21700 cell based batteries are frickin massive, especially when you're 5'6, 140lbs like me; everyone laughs when my body gets hurled by power tools... I've been launched into orbit before by hole hawgs & even the bigger all-around hammer drills, and shaken to the bone with reciprocating saws & SDS drills.....
@@WorkshopAddict Does the shield adjust... meaning rotation. I know the M12 version of this tool does this, would expect this one does as well. Not a fan of having to use an allen wrench to adjust the depth guard, couldn't they used a quick release or something?
May have just been defective. I've been using the RIDGID platform almost exclusively for the last 10 years. I don't generally have issues but I have gotten a few defective tools right out of the box. I'd return it and try again
And if that blade really is stuck in there, you can bend it and Snap it out from in between the spindle. You won't damage a tool I promise. Maybe if it was a diamond bit blade you would, but not with one of those blades that tools very strong
So.... even if you were cutting with the wheel going the wrong direction is the first cut and the arbor bolt tightened, it should not have done that. How many more people will have this happen? The cutting wheel being "out of round" might be from the movement. Why a 7/16" arbor when most are 3/8' in this size. Something just feels wrong. Sorry I was not there but would like to see this when this shit is over. There is more to this.
Left hand thread maybe? Most left blade saws are, but this one spins both ways. Then again, you put the blade on, so...... haha! It's VERY similar to the Milwaukee M12 cutoff tool(same mfr). Was wondering how this compared. I haven't had any issues with my M12. It's very handy. Dremel, and die grinder wheels fit it fine.
Time to slice and Dice- crackin me up 🤣 Thanks for your honest review! Stock blades usually suck, so not surprised there. Interested to see what the problem ends up being. Looking forward to the video! BTW- you were having a bad day because you cut your Samson hair 🤣
I don't really see how it's user error. What was done shouldn't have caused the wheel to tighten the Allen screw. That sounds more like a potential design flaw or a lack of a washer or something. It will be interesting to see how Ridgid addresses this. Please make sure to do a follow-up
Looked like it was in wrong rotation but if so the screw should have backed out unless it is left hand thread and then the rotation would have been correct strange
I just don't understand how these companies are spending massive amounts of time and energy making a 3" grinder. Can someone explain how this is gonna help any tradesman over the already existing 4.5" solutions? Ridgid should have had a deep cut bandsaw by now.
I used to use angle grinders to do this. To do it properly and still dangerously I had to drag the blade with the Sparks coming towards me. Not fun but it's a lot safer. I was pushing an angle grinder last year like you would a circular saw and it kickrd back on me cutting my belly open. My guts were coming out but they were not cut fortunately or I might not have made it. If a friend had not been there I probably would have died. He called 911. Took almost an hour to get to the hospital. Took almost a year of recovery. Almost as bad as my open heart surgery. I hope someone here has the phone number to get the 3/8 arbor washer.
I don't think that tool is designed to be cutting that thick of steel. Mind you that first cut did awesome . I think that is mainly for sheetmetal and softer materials . But if you're in a pinch . It'll cut thinker metal ..
Ridgid always made interesting looking tools at a low price point. Many forget though you literally get what you pay for. For ME, ridgid is a subpar brand when it comes to cordless power tools.
Sounds like it boggs down a ton less then the Milwaukee one i have the Milwaukee stops alot and boggs down alot on even 22 guage metal very imoressive ridgid
THERE YOU GO, LIFE TIME GARE TEE!! SEND IT BACK... YOU TRY ED.. GOOD JOB!!! I JUST SUBSCRIBE!!!! NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!!!!! SEE YOU ON THE NEXT VIDEO.... BE SAFE!!!
It's gonna be $18.00 up front just for them to look at it and then I Bet Ridgid says it was your fault and wants You to pay for the Parts and Labor ..... But if you tell them who You are , and that you have a Massive RUclips Tool Channel they will fix it for free , LoL , Ha Ha ..... Let us know how you make out ......👍 Be Safe .....😷
Guessing the same. I think it would be best not to bring that information up, about having a RUclips channel, that way he can report back exactly what happen OR what the process was like. I have yet to use Ridgid LSA but really wonder if it's true. Expect it to be a hassle for sure.
@@tewilk tried using it once for a shop vec that spit out the brushes/commutator bars for no reason.. if i remember correctly they agreed to fix it or atleast look at it with it being "their option to fix it" but i needed to pay shipping to them which was 48$ on a 60$ vacuum.. no option of local drop off or service centers just mail it to us at your cost have had a few warranty claims from me being rough nd expecting alot of performance out of my milwaukee tools and they have a local place even though im almost rural so im sure they have them nation wide here even in canada drop it off guys fixxed or replaced it and no charge no questions, i brought a receipt once and another time no reciept they didnt even ask, they took 2 weeks on a drill once but that was the local guy slacking not milwuakee was out of town for work in the city of edmonton once and ha a 9.0 battery start acting up walked into a milwaukee store and no questions asked grabbed a new one for me took the old one was a 60second stop
Wow really disappointing. I have the Bosch 12 volt version. I use it all the time. I use it a lot more than I thought. I do think the Milwaukee version is better. This tool should be on a 12 volt platform only. The Ridgid with the 18 volt battery is just too big for this tool. Btw Worx has a 18 volt version also. Smaller and more compact than the Ridgid.
You are being Very reasonable kind of blaming yourself, but to me you seem to have quite a bit of experience with tools so what's going to happen with home owners with no experience may be only 1 bad saw only time will tell.
Odd mine came with 3/8ths installed and a spare 7/16th, maybe they changed it due to lack of available options. I think this tool is real convenient for little things but not for moderately difficult issues and I am not impressed by Ridgid blades.
This is dumb. Same as the M12 but with a huge 18V battery. Why? I have the M12 cutoff because I wanted the dust collection and while I love it, I wish it fit 4.5/5inch discs and was M18. Its a little underpowered for some materials. And if you don't keep the blade 100% straight the motor cuts out. Super annoying. At the same token, I also setup a Makita grinder with a tuck point dust shroud and use that for bigger jobs now until something better comes along.
Absolutley STUPID design. Notice the guard can't be flat without the battery hitting the surface. And that's with the smallest 2Amp battery. Returning mine and getting DeWalt. Totally useless when cutting sheet goods.

i remember I thought I almost broke my M12 because I was having trouble removing the blade, then I remember that the arbor was loosie right. This happens when you don't remove the blade after such a long time of usage.
So it’s basically a long handled version of the M12 cut off tool on a 18V platform

We have a ridgid service center in our city. Drop it off with your warranty account number and new one shows up a month later in the mail.
I really appreciate this video, very sincerely and honest. Thanks.
I personally have never and will never use these kind of system saw on metal ever. But ill say their extremely good on plastic FRP wrap.
I own the Milwaukee 12V version and have cut a slew of metal, albeit not as thick as in this video. One of my favorite tools.

Do u fix ps4 if so for how much i cant get it open because the tool shops are closed and the nearest home depot is 1hr 30 mins away
I need to cut a hole sqaure in drywall on the wall still could this saw be good for that like 1by 1 square to fix a hole in my wall?
It would make a mess. Drill small holes in the corners and use and drywall hand saw.
@@WorkshopAddict thank you

The M12 cutoff tool is left hand threaded, but I thought I read somewhere that the Ridgid was right hand threaded?
The bolt tells you want way to go and i do not remember. This thing got stupid tight.
Well I got the 12v Milwaukie version and been wanting a ridgid one and in 18v . Let me know what happens
Returning mine to Home Depot. They don't sell replacement blades for them. Kind of useless without blades.
Call Ridgid, if you want to keep it, and ask for a 3/8" arbor. They will send it for free and the blades can be found everywhere.
@@WorkshopAddict Thank you

Nice review as usual. Give the replacement tool hell.
Thanks! Will do!
Wow so weird how its stuck on think its the blade thats at fault would be interesting to see if they warranty it
I can't wait to see the fallow up video. You have taken the depth fence off and used a vise grip on the outer part of the bolt and got it off.
The bolt is rounded and I cannot get a bite.
You should also try it with no Ridgid blades. Their blades sucks.
Do they even sell 3 inch blades in the store?
yes, but with a 3/8 arbor, not 7/16"
@@WorkshopAddict yeah like my Ryobi One saw great little jobber saw but you can't find a blade for them

Thanks for the review. Have you tried it on 1/2” ply?
Is the guide removable?
Anyone use this with tile yet? With the battery placement relative to the cutter, I can only imagine doing notch cuts with this.
You are exactly right and I planned to show that. You have about a 5 inch window.

Works great on tile the gead is adjustable to give clearance for even the larger 9 ah batteries
If its anything like the milwaukee version, the screw is lefty tighty right loosy

Maybe with the hair this tool would have rocked. :)
They should just make like a 4 inch head for the jobmax.
The problem may be caused by the high speed rpm (19,000). Most of the cut disks are designed for 13,000-14,000 rpm
I don't really see how it's user error. What was done shouldn't have caused the wheel to tighten the Allen screw. That sounds more like a potential design flaw or a lack of a washer or something.

Appreciate the video, but this new ridgid line IMHO is just like Dewalt atomic...unnecessary. Great channel 👍🇺🇸
Looked like it was in wrong rotation but if so the screw should have backed out unless it is left hand thread and then the rotation would have been correct strange
I did have it in the wrong direction and I took blame, but that screw is not coming out no matter what I do!
That's so new that Instead of LSA you can invoke the regular Warranty or even HomeDepot's 90 day return/exchange policy :)
