The nightstand is almost done. It is part of a pair, that I just finished sanding. I just need to oil the drawers and top. I finished the other one last week.

Thanks!

Lucky devil! Can’t wait to hear how she runs.

Congradulations man.. that is a beautiful saw… What is the extension made of? It looks like it has a mirror black finish. How much are the replacement cartridges and did the saw come with any extra?

I want one too!!! :)

-- Jamie, Kentucky

Thanks. The extension table is wood with a black plastic laminate (like a kitchen cabinet. The cartridges are 69 for 10” blades and 89 for dado sets.

That is a beaut, John. Did they have Saw-Stops at the college? What helped you decide to go with this brand?

Hi Douglas,

I was ready to upgrade to a cabinet saw, the Ridgid was a nice little saw when I was just making trim. Now that I am into furniture and cabinets I found myself taking classes just to use the accurate, non-tipping over saws. The college has Powermatics, Delta Unisaws, and a General in the shop. They are all great saws.

Kristin has been wanting me to get this saw though. Without risking another massive discussion on this we believed this saw is the most advanced in design and safety. I practice all of the safety procedures from school and have no intention of setting it off or being cavalier with the machine. Hopefully we won’t ever need the brake.

I am a musician too and didn’t wanted to reduce the risk to the digits. I cut myself on a soap dish two years ago, and the stitches/ bill cost me $350. I can amortize the extra amount of money on the saw over the next 40 years I plan to do woodworking.

Plus it’s black.

You just bought something I hope you never use! Congratulations, she’s a beaut!
Just a suggestion: think about moving the DC and make sure it wont interfere with stock commin off the jointer.

Great addition to the shop! May it never get used to it’s full potential.

Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, envious …..

It is fun looking in the background. Do you like your G0586? I have been eyeing that. I’ve been debating either the 6” with spiral or that 8” with standard blades. Thoughts?

Steve,

I do like the jointer. I have the regular head, and have had no problems (until I ran a nail through). I have been debating the spiral heads, but I need to cool the spending for obvious reasons.

Great stuff Giz. That’s a fine looking saw.

It’s a good thing these posts are never taken out of context (Karson says “Did you try the weenie yet?”). Lordy.

Well Todd. You need to get out to the west coast and stop in for a trial run.

What Steve said.
Yeah John, after all is said and done with the additional safety features and performance of this saw, it is pretty with the black color (Really had to toil to not say sexy – Betsy, you know I adore you. I guess saying it parenthetically is pulling a “Huckabee”, but after Russell’s comments of the day about Even the Bad is Good I thought I’d be just a little Lumberjock bad).

I bet the sniffle over the Ridgid dried up pretty fast after the “SS Black Knight” arrived.
Yeah may the safety feature never be tested.

-- DocK, WV

Congratulations, and welcome to the club. I love mine!

I want one too! Now, don’t go demonstrating the safety feature!

-- Bob A in NJ

Very cool!

Like Tom said don’t test it!
