I have the 12" version. The dust collection really sucks, so I bought the dust chute from Shop Nation and, while not perfect, the dust collection is greatly improved. I put the saw on a cart that slides into the center section of my 8' miter station. I can cut lengths up to 4' while in the slot and longer by pulling the cart out and maneuvering it on my shop floor. I really like this saw and like you got a great deal on it. Good luck!
Another thing I did, aside from a dust hood, is put my saw kind of near the garage door so you can shoot a long board out into the driveway if you need to. Just setup a roller stand. I also built my station on top of a metal lateral file cabinet. Perfect height drawers for rattle cans and jugs of solvent. I keep my glue in there too.
Great find Sam! I have the 12" and love it. Get the dust shoot from shop nation and it will help with dust. I look forward to the miter station build
Just used mine yesterday for the first time. Grabbed mine 2-3 weeks ago at $219. I was also always eyeballing these and wasn't sure if I needed/wanted the 10 or 12 but at that price I didn't hesitate. Actually had to order mine at a store $300 miles away which was 10 minutes from my dad's so I had him pick it up then went to pay a visit with my dad. Was a perfect purchase scenario. Really happy with it. I'd say it's significantly better then any other 10" available around this price. Almost no sliding 10s at that price actually.
I have had the 12" version of this saw for a year or 2 and have really enjoyed it. It works well and if you are careful the blade deflection is a minimal concern. I did recently get the improved dust shoot from Shop Nation and have absolutely loved it! It massively improves the dust collection on the miter saw.
If you’re going to build a stationary thing for it anyway, build a hood for it. Forget trying to collect dust at the blade… build a hood and hook a dust collector to it. You’ll have to blow it out here and there, but nothing will get in the room.
I totally agree. I think people spend way too much time and energy trying to get the dust at the blade and they seem eternally frustrated. A few years ago I built a simple shroud out of plywood and hooked up my 4” HF dust collector to it. There is hardly any dust that doesn’t get sucked up by that.
@@PMichaels Exactly. I had a smaller 650cfm DC and recently upgraded to the larger HF unit. You can't even smell the wood you're cutting. My shroud has a flat bottom (built it on top of a filing cabinet that I store my glue and paint in), so a fair amount of dust collects in the corners. But a couple little squirts of compressed air while the DC is running and it's all good. Still, nothing is airborne, and THAT is more important than a little mess.
I've got my mitre saw in the middle of my garage right now. I recommend getting it to the side. Maybe a mobile cart if you'd like, but not in the middle.
Hey Sam! I didn’t know you had a channel! Nice to see you! Subscribed! ❤
Thanks for subbing!
Hello, I also have this saw and I love it. I use for DIY tasks around the house. Was excellent in installing a new cedar fence and installing new baseboards in my home. I’m also a weekend woodworker and use the saw for rough cutting. For precision cuts I go to the table saw. For dust collection I highly recommend connecting a shop vac. Without a shop vac, dust collection is horrible.
Happy you got a great price and I hope you enjoy the saw.
I just built my permanent miter station and I love it. It was a ton of time and work. If I was you I would either make the quick version as quick as possible or take the time and make something really nice. I’ve done so much extra work putting a lot of time into doing something kind of what I want. Glad you got a good deal!
Great Purchase! I own the 12”. It’s great for exactly what you said you would use it for. All precision cuts are on my table saw. I have mine on the Ridgid modular stand. It folds up and rolls into the corner and comes out when I need it.
I’ve cut hard, soft and ply without an issue. I grabbed a Diablo Combo Blade before making my first cut.
Thanks Sam! I’ve got the same Dewalt 12” saw and I’ve been looking at the Bosch and or Ridgid for the same reason.. I could gain back nearly a foot of space from my miter station…
I went on HD website and checked out the 10”… it’s not advertised at the $219 but when I put it in the cart it dropped it to that price… kinda starred at it for a couple minutes and then pulled the trigger!
Had my eye on that style of saw for years so I’m happy to watch you use it first! As someone who built a “quick and dirty” miter saw station with plans to upgrade it later and never did, I would say meet yourself half way. Build a nice cabinet for under the saw or to one side, then do the 2x4 and OSB method to the other.
I built a mobile miter saw "station" w/foldable wings and have NEVER regretted it. Mobile and space saving for a shop like yours could be a huge benefit. You have enough bench top surface already, a fixed station would just rob floor real estate in there.
Just checked and it's on sale for $219.00 at the Home Depot I shop with 7 in stock. Can't believe the price! You asked for opinions about the miter station build. You might consider building a mobile station with the folding wings. There are some good plans on UA-cam channels for these. Then you could move it around if needed. Glad you got such a great deal and now have a miter saw for your shop. It will come in handy for sure!
Hey Sam. I am really enjoying how your channel is coming along. Obviously I first saw you when you were working with John, but honestly his channel has never been the same since you and Jordan both left. I still keep tabs on what he is doing, but I enjoy shop builds, home improvement, and DYI stuff more then I do resin pour tables. :P
Thanks, for the continued support
Sam, I can’t thank you enough. I wanted one of these saws for years. My rigid slider is six years old. After watching your video, I looked it up on the app and saw there was one in a city about 30 minutes away. So I bought it online and rushed out there as soon as they pulled it. When I got there I saw they had a second one so I bought it too. I have always dreamed of having a double miter saw station and now I can. Two for the price of one at $219 each. There is literally only four of these in the entire Dallas/ Fort Worth area. What a find. Thanks again. 😊
When you get it set up send me a photo of it on IG or discord
I got one last month at HD near Joshua, TX, near the Miller plant. It's about a half hour drive for me. Then sold my Dewalt non-slider for $100, so only cost me $119 roughly. I immediately put a better blade on it. The dust collection is about the same as my previous saw. I had Shop Nation DC on the dewalt, but I wasn't too impressed with it honestly. I'm just going to build a shroud for the Rigid and use the original dust chute, maybe just adding a larger flap made of duct tape.
I got my jobsite DeWalt miter saw stand for like $120 it was in the yellow tag clearance at the orange store. I couldn't not buy it at that price, so I feel you on this purchase! Great find!
Hi, Sam - I was having a bad day at work. When I was done, I went to UA-cam looking for a pick-me-up video. I saw this video come up on my feed and thank god it did… I have been looking for new miter saw for a while and I really liked this one. I wanted a sliding miter saw that comes forward as I don’t have room in my shop for one that has to slide back. Plus I already have a bunch of 10” blades so I didn’t want to upgrade to a 12” saw. I never pulled the trigger on this and now I’m glad I didn’t, because I just picked one up for $219 from a (sort of) local Home Depot! THANK YOU, SIR! It was the last one in stock anywhere close to me. The closest HDs don’t have it but this one did. I am so excited to get this saw home and to start using it. You have also earned a new subscriber. I can’t wait to check out the rest of your content. Cheers!
This makes me so happy! Make something awesome with it!!
Nice pickup! I think Shopnation has a dust collection modification for that saw.
I second that… Shop Nation makes a dust collection adapter for the new Ridgid.
Yes, and I love my Shop Nation dust collection mod! I really like that I bought the model and can reprint when I break it....
Sam, I have the 12” Delta Cruz. Pretty much the same saw and I love it! Think you picked up a great saw!!
How fortunate this video popped up in my recommended feed. I was on the HD website and saw this saw. Told my wife it would make a nice fathers day gift, you know, since she asked me what I wanted! Gonna pick it up tomorrow.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the tip! I looked it up and my local HD had one for $220 so I just snagged one after lunch. I am looking forward to your station build out because that is also something that I need to figure out in my workshop.
Glad I could help!
Hi Sam, I have the same miter saw and love it. The shadow line feature is great! The dust collection is horrible however, Shop Nation sells a part that really helps with dust collection. Enjoy the new saw!
With the lowerer price point, it's a heck of a deal. bought mine over a year ago. It's fantastic. I have increased the dust pickup and put a Rockler flex hose on it to it's own auto start vacuum. for additional dust capture. A nice dust shroud is good to keep the dust from flying around. Mines made from a cardboard box. I've mounted a zero clearance back fence and FastCap's zero clearance tape as well. FYI the DeWalt Crown molding jigs work on this saw as well. Want to pick up the shroud from ShopNation next.
I have the same saw and love it. Works really well. I have a lot of hand tools, so I bought two Husky tool chests and built a platform between them for my saw. The saw sits level between the two tool chests, so the tool chest tops serve as in-feed and out-feed tables.
Shop Nation (which you can find here on UA-cam) makes a very nice dust boot for these saws. I have this dust boot connected to a shop vac stored under the saw. Both are connected to a switch that automatically turns on the shop vac when the saw starts. With this set up, my miter saw makes less dust than just about anything else in my shop.
I was lucky enough to pick up the 10" for that same deal about 10 days ago. It was too good to pass up. Selling my older bosch non sliding 12" to pay for it.
Sam, I think its a great decision to get a saw that operates in the smaller footprint. I have a Dewalt like the one your returning to its owner and it is a monster in a small shop. (I had to make 30" cabinets on the station just to get it to operate . Still sticks out into the isles). It looks like a great rough cut saw!
yard tools and such should go out of the shop and into a small shed...for sure...those things can get weathered and the real estate you gain in your shop is worth it. my miter saw is off center a little so when I do make longer cuts than 6', I can flip the piece over and get that cut. I can even go out my garage door if I have to
Agreed, a shed needs to happen
I added it to the cart and one my local home depots had one in stock for 219, so thanks to you, I got one now to.
Let’s go!!
Same here. I had no plans to buy a new miter saw today, but I just decided to see how much this one was and found it nearby for 219. Now I'll be picking up my new saw this afternoon.
Well now I have to look this up too
Same here… been looking for a while.. put it in the cart and it cut the price in half.. had to do it
Looks like a great deal. I like the miter saw for cutting longer boards, on the table saw it can be a big pain for those. The best thing i did for my miter saw was to put a good blade on it. I have a 72 tooth CMT.
for that money it's a great putchase!
I have the tiny Bosch miter saw on a similar base like you had, and always have to shove it back against the wall after using the saw. Put the whole thing on a platform with casters under it, makes it a lot easier to move around.
Think you should put it somewhere in the middle, maybe favour it off to the side you need the most lengt of stock you are cutting with the saw?
I have the 12in version of this saw. It’s served me well so far. I’m wanting to build just a small footprint miter saw mobile cart since it’s in my garage.
I also got the 12” version and also got the shop nation dust boot. I have been happy with it for over a year. The Ridgid is essentially the Delta Cruzer. Also only has 5 yr warranty, it does not qualify for their lifetime service agreement. Wasn’t a deal breaker for me.
Love the more regular content! Excited for your shop to fit you!
The biggest plus is for that price remember, as long as you register it with Rigid within the timeframe they set, they warranty their powertools for life. Don't forget to register though or you lose it.
and where do you have to haul it for the warranty?
@@brucewelty7684 It has to be shipped to the nearest service center to you, unless you are near a service center and are able to drop it somehow. They send you a FedEx shipping label and give a 14-day turnaround in most cases. Let's be realistic, you're not paying top dollar for the Rolls Royce of power tools here so don't expect to be pampered like royalty. Festool only repairs tools for 3yrs max but they turnaround faster. The fact that Rigid offers a no cost lifetime service warranty on anything is more than you're going to get from most power tool manufacturers. If you are Average Joe, the homeowner who uses the tool rarely? Well shipping it away may not be an issue.
If you are a professional contractor who needs immediate/constant access to your tools? You better have an extra kicking around...if you have done any decent kind of planning as a pro, you either have a spare or a combination of tools that will get the job done while its down. Right? If not? Well, you'll have to remedy that by purchasing one after you ship the other out to be repaired either way. Right? Either situation results in having to own a spare. It's your choice what brand of spare you get but I personally? I would choose another one with a lifetime warranty. What would you choose? I guess the other question is are what are you expecting? What are other brands doing above and beyond? It won't fit everyone. I guess your best bet would be extended warranty purchase and cheap harbor freight tools where you can do a walk in exchange the same day if time is the most important thing to you. But, that shows up with Harbor Freight tools. That matter? No but we live in a pretty shallow society where people will judge your ability based on how expensive your setup is... They won't consider yourself to be smart for saving money.
I have a couple Ridgid tools and I have next to no complaints. I do have the Kapex and it’s 10” capacity has never been an issue. I suppose the 12” allows you to cut large crown moulding, but otherwise, 10” is great!
i use the clamp thing all the time to set up a quick small stop
Makita xgt line of miter saws.
The 8-1/2 is really where it’s at. It’s tight, not heavy, no slop, smooth action, cuts 95% of whatever I might be working on. Battery life is good. But I’m on job sites so I don’t want to carry the 12” if I don’t have to.
Used both the Bosch and rigid, found both over time all those joints/bearings get loose and bobble, think you can adjust and re tighten but be aware, you may start getting wavy/out of square cuts. Got rid of both after a yr or so… Makita is worth the cost!
I’m sure I’ll upgrade down the road.
@@SamGreenMaker it is a good deal though!
If you are a contractor that’s probably true. I think for the average weekend warrior like me it will stay tight for as long as I will ever use it.
@@PMichaels yup, it is "nice" to operate , more a warning to keep an eye out. like I said, I think they are adjustable/tighten-able?
Hell yeah, that's an awesome deal for one of those types of saws! Great video. Thanks.
Exactly why I settled on my 10 inch Metabo. It would sit closer to the wall and it was on sale 😂
Rigid had a table saw/stand and mitre saw/stand deal at $650 ($1200 value) a few months back. I also felt it would be irresponsible not to buy… well worth it.
$230! They practically made you buy it. I was in Lowes and walked by the Bosch and it was $299 and there was one left. Had to get it.
Man, you really frikkin scored. The bosch with the slider likes this one?
You could have purchased the Metabo HPT 12 inch sliding dual miter saw for $300 on sale. The sliding mechanism is on the side. I have it permanently bolted to my workbench. The saw is a heavy duty beast.
Didn’t know about this one. Worth checking out!
That saw is SO hard to find. It's never in stock. It disappeared the week I decided to go get one and took almost 6 months to come back in stock. Fantastic machine though. - Travis at Shopnation sells a fantastic dust collection upgrade for the this model of saw too btw.
I love my dewalt but yeah the space it takes up is a bummer. Also the dust collection is trash lol I want a kapex but sheesh its so expensive
Great video. Wow those prices are so cheaper than what we pay for tools here in NZ
I would say to make something quick and dirty from scaps for now. After some use and a better idea of upcoming projects, you can build the station properly based on your needs. Your shop is smaller and is used for DIY, so John's plans may not suit your needs
The saw itself is fantastic, however, ours kept blowing lights which renders the shadow unusable. Just something to watch for, but overall the saw is great. I use one everyday at work.
Sure can't beat that price, wow, a deal for sure. I use to have a 12 ft miter saw stand, homemade out of 2X4's. Like 4 ft to the left and 8 ft to the right. I thought it would be nice to have the room to cut so much stuff. But like you said, it is rare for me to cut much over 6FT. Most of what I cut is under 4 ft even. You'd think it would be good for storage, but even after putting in drawers, it just was not a good use of space. Now I have a 6FT bench, only left side cutting, 4ft cut on the left, and the wing pulls out to 8 ft if I ever need it. Can't remember the last time I needed it. Now I use the previous wasted space for things on wheels, drum sander, planer, drill press. For me, built in is not always good. You get stuck with the set up as well. I also store so many systainers under the new bench. One thing with the previous 12 ft bench, I built in my K5 kreg jig, about the middle of the 8 ft side, so was nice to have all that support for the K5. But I rarely do pocket holes anymore, so don't miss it much. K5 is now on a piece of ply, portable, if I need it. As for Miter saws, LOVE my Kapex. Yes it is pricey, but I do not regret buying it one bit. SO incredibly accurate. Plus the clamps are amazing, I use them every time, rarely did with my old Kobalt miter saw. So many great features. Only my opinions :)
I have this saw, it’s not too bad. Get the shop nation dust adapter, makes a world of difference
I have the 12" Delta version. Kinda wish I got the 10". When I'm not using it, I set it to the maximum bevel to get it out of the way. The shadow line is a thing I never knew I needed, and is amazing. The dust collection is hilariously bad, and I recommend picking up the dust collection thingy from Shop Nation
Gasp, a Wawa milk crate in the background?? Do you even Pittsburgh!!??
Went to college in Philly. Hogiefest has a place in my heart
I have the same saw, only complaint(s) is have, the pivot point for up and down action squeaks like mad. Ive tried dry lube for bicycle chain and lithium grease, hasnt helped at all. Also, the deflection is ridiculous. It doesnt track through a cut straight at all. I mainly build outdoor projects and it still doesnt cut accurate enough. Otherwise, its pretty badass. Its lightweight and doesnt take up a ton of space
Great vid! Love the channel. I have a similar sized garage shop so I love seeing the stuff you do.
Thanks 👍
I was on the fence about 10 or a 12, went with 10 and it's done everything I threw at it, haven't needed a 12 and I think 90% of the folk out there don't need a 12 but get one anyway..built a shroud and I'm shocked as it catches like 90% of the dust at least with just the dust bag lol, still not sure if I need to put dust collection on it but prolly will in the end, but the shroud is stunning how well it does ..
I'm looking at the website and seriously considering this now. $219 with free delivery is very tempting even though I don't really need one.
I bought this same saw for 219 at my Home Depot like 4 months ago and I have no issue with it except the dust collection but ohh well.
I've had good luck with Ridgid power tools. I don't do production work, to be fair, but I wouldn't be afraid to.
3rd prong on plug used to ground any metal parts to prevent electrocution.
I have this saw. Couldn't pass on it at like $250 or whatever I paid. Deflection is bad if you aren't careful and it has terrible dust collection as has been well documented, but it does well enough for the money.
Well this just cost me $236 I wasn't planning on spending. I have the DWS779 and my only complaint is the amount of space it takes up so i have to at least give this one a shot at that price! Thanks for the heads up!
I would have bought it too in a heartbeat, If you don't build 10 sheds/week, no need for big & brutal & expensive
As I recall the twin sister to that saw is a Delta model
Great option to Bosch!!! Wish having these saw herein Brazil.
have been thinking about building one of those rolling miter saw carts with flip out wings. currently my old 12 inch slider is on one of those collapsible delta stands, it just takes up soo much room and is way to hard to move around.
It's a rebranded Delta Cruzer. They have lots of problems with blade wander..
I've been looking for a sliding miter saw that has this style of sliding capabilities without the insane price tag. This might just fit the bill!
Have the delta 10” of this saw. Also got the shop nation dust collection kit. Both work great. I’m a bit disappointed with the shadow line. Mine is not as crisp or clear as you see in videos and photos. I’ve tried adjusting the light, but I can’t seem to get it working right. Otherwise. Happy with the saw.
Budget friendly lowers customized to fit your needs and in mean time work on your own design for the perfect fit and make a build video off of it!
Awesome deal! Hard to pass that up.
I downgraded from my 12" dewalt to this 10" and thought I would be missing out on features, but this saw is great and I'm extremely happy with it.
I still have yet to see anything match the quality, precision built Milwaukee 6955 12" sliding double bevel compound miter saw. Absolute tightest build for dead set accurate cuts, hands down the best dust collection on the market. Makes lockable miter adjustments to .1 degree. I agree the price is high, but even my broke ass was able to save up to buy one. Yes, the miter station I built is deep, but I just flanked both sides with shelf top cabinets and it left me with a 12" work surface. Best thing in the shop. I wish you could post pictures in the comments.
Good buy we have two and they work great 🤙🏽
I wouldn't be mad at it. The company I used work for only used rigid. Great purchas
I don’t think you should be centered… I think you should be slightly off to the right… Leave yourself room to cut off a couple of feet to the right but the more room to the left the better just in case you need to cut longer cuts!
Listed at $429, $219 (in the cart) in my store in western NC.
Just my two cents here which, of course, are worth only two cents and possibly less but it's never a good idea to buy a tool based on price. I think in the long run you are going to regret not have a 12 inch saw. I used a 10 inch for years, trimmed entire houses with a 10 inch Ryobi (bought in about 1989 if memory serves) but when I got a 12 inch Makita slider it was a life changer.
I agree. I’m sure I will find the limits of this saw quick! But that’s okay it got me up and running for now. Can always upgrade someday down the line
Great buy!
Foldable mitre Station from the wall might work .
I would definitely register it for the lifetime warranty.
It doesn’t have a ground plug because it’s double insulated
Good choice. It’s a good saw
Good buy!
I bought the same saw when i saw the deal. Couldnt pass it up.
They are clearancing them out bc delta's deal with ridgid on benchtop power tools is done.
Can you elaborate on this please?
@@jamesburton6661 Ridgid and delta had a deal in place where some of their benchtop tools like sanders, planers, jointers, miter saws, tablesaws etc would be made by delta in phases (same factory, same materials, etc.) when it got bought out by chang ind from stanley bd. TTI does not own ridgid outright like ryobi and milwaukee.
Two videos in as many weeks, awesome!!!
I’m trying!!
Why do you think you need the slide . I hate all my saws with slides i usually just use a Hitachi 12 inch regular chop saw i have one in my truck and one in the the shop.
You may be right. I don’t have a great reason aside from maximizing the use, maybe
I paid $219 for mine a month ago
Love the Alice’s Restaurant reference!
Yes!!! I was waiting for someone to get that joke 👊🏼
@@SamGreenMaker PGH, UltraRunning, Woodworking, AND good music! I’m here for it
We have a 12” Rigid saw at work and it is the biggest piece of junk.
Where’s John? Does he have any shop equipment he can spare?
Brother. I hate to tell you this. But the Ad I got when I clicked to watch this video was a FESTOOL. HAHA man irony. I got a makita that John had. I hate it. Its so out of line and there is a simple release button that is prone to breaking. You will find it on alot of tool forums. BOSCH might be the next play for me. I do want the FES as well.
The festool is endgame for sure. But so far I’m liking this one.
I have that bandsaw. Sketchy!! lol
Good for the price I’d say!
I’m officially torn, I’m coming across a lot of places that are basically saying stay away from this saw. 😢
Time will tell
I got my 12" for $239
Reason 99: I really want one.
That's all you need to say.
NEW SUB LIKE THE DESIGN THE FUTURE IS HERE !! AWSOME PEACE!!!
