New TS3650

[mijfwb]

Hey everyone this is my first post here, I have been observing the forum for the past few weeks. After some consideration on which tablesaw to get I went with the TS3650 for the best bang for the buck, I was also looking at the new craftsmans in the same price range and they just seemed cheap compared to the Ridgid. I ended up getting one with a date code of P0536 to try and get the new arbor and was happy to find out that I got the new one. It took me about 1-2hrs to put together and get everything lined up correctly. So far everything went together flawlessly except if you tighten the leg bolts up to much they snap. I have had zero aligment issues with it I am dead on from 0 to 36". I will say though Ridgid really got cheap when they included the blade, that is my first upgrade tomorrow. I have a hard time believing how quiet this saw is I turned it on tonight when my wife was asleep and it never phased her and she is a light sleeper. All in all I am extremely happy with this purchase and after I get my new blade I can't wait to make some real saw dust. Also this is a great forum with some amazing post, I hope maybe some time I will beable to help out also.

Good luck with the new saw. Remember, safety first. Check out the outfeed table posted here by Bob D. An outfeed table is a sometimes overlooked but very important piece of safety equipment. I almost lost a finger paying inadequate attention to safety. Still get a twinge thinking about how fast it almost happened.
