Wow, I'm impressed with all the haters in the crowd. The table saw works great for me, fence, granite top, and all. It's funny to read and hear about the people that are afraid of change. For $450, it's a steal of a deal for the home woodworker. Of course, if I was a professional, i would get a cabinet saw. With that said, obviously it's not for everyone, but for the home woodworker it's great and it sure beats a jobsite saw any day.

This is my opinion and my opinion only.
I frequent the Ridgid forums looking for info on Ridgid tools and,,,,,,,,,,,,, there seems to be a lot of posts there with concerns/problems/disgust/and various issues with the R4511.
Many, many more than I've ever seen about the 3650 or 3660.
These posts alone are keeping me from getting the least bit interested in this saw.
As I said, this is only my opinion.

I too am a new "stoner" after looking for years for a used table saw and seeing nothing but rusty cast iron and cheap aluminum tops, I saw the maintenace free granite as the way to go. After it was set up correctly, I am very impressed with the quality for the price. You know what they say,
Die hards -- die hard.

I searched the Ridgid power tool forum for R4511 didn't see any of the posts that you seen. I did find a lot of happy R4511 owners

Guess you see what you are looking for

Here is my kitchen I made with my Rigid Granite topped saw.
I of course swapped out the cheapy Rigid fence for a Shop Fox 7 footer with commercial fence.

Here are a few more pics of the kitchen remodel.
As you can see the saw makes fine furniture with the right person behind the saw.

Don't hesitate to buy this saw.

Caution!!! This is not a 220V saw so don't expect to rip 12/4 maple or walnut like it were pine or poplar.
