Hi from a new member

[Northern Wood]

Hi, everyone -

I'm not sure which category this should go in, but I figured I will be visiting this one most often so why not here?

Just wanted to say hello, as I'm a new member and this is my first post. I'm a long-time lurker, and I just bought a Ridgid 3650 table saw tonight in no small part because of what I read on these forums, so I figured I better register. I hail from Minnesota, so I figured the name "Northern Wood" is appropriate.

I also want to thank everyone for all of their advice and help with 3650 questions. I already printed the stuff from the assembly help and questions thread and plan on putting that all to good use tomorrow.

I look forward to contributing when I can!

Mike

Hi Northern Wood!! Welcome to the forums. Congrats on the new saw. I hope it goes together well. Make sure to download the .pdf version of the manual. It's different and more consice than the one that still seems to be shipping w/the saws. The link is in the thread... or you can get it here (http://www.ridgid.com/ASSETS/C4A23357031F4B34B574FB17FADF8ED6/TS3650_402_Man.pdf).

Good luck, and enjoy!!! :)

Welcome to you from another relatively new member. Like you I based my ts 3650 purchase largely on what I read here. It has been every bit the saw everyone swears by.

This is a great group who almost all go out of their way to be helpful. again welcome

Welcome to the forum!!!!!You will have a ton of fun and learn alot!!!

[Northern Wood]

WOW! Thanks for the awesome welcome. You guys are great!

This site helped me decide to purchase the saw, and it has been a god send ini trying to assemble it. All the tips in these threads make the job easier.

It's over half done, and I will throw a pic up when it is done. You all know what a 3650 looks like, but THIS one is mine! :D

The assembly isn't too bad except for the Herc-u-lift, and that's where the instructions get weird. "Use the screws..." Uhh... which ones? I got it figured out but as some indicated, that is where the instructions (even the updated ones I got from this site) leave a little to be desired.

Hopefully by tonight I will be making sawdust. Thanks again for all the help and the very warm welcome!

Regards,

Mike
