i would go with a new ridgid 4512. thats what i'm upgrading to when i get into my new house.

its $549 i think and has some great features like switching to 220, 36" wide extension, an aftermarket drop in for use with a router, great fence too.

It looks a lot like the fence on my Ridgid 2400 which is horrible! Maybe they've been redesigned, but mine is off nearly 3/16" from front to back consistently. It's the whole reason I'm looking for a new saw.

the newer fences are great on the ridgids. love the one on my folding saw.

i have the same fence on my gray ridgid ts2412. holds it's settings and is rock solid once adjusted properly and locked down.



the 4512 is a nice saw, as long as a unit without the "blade/miter slot alignment changing with blade elevation issue" is located. and what is "an aftermarket drop in for use with a router" ?



the 2400 is a job site saw and it's fence system is different from the one of the linked c-man.



the less than optimal fence system on older c-man 113s is quite different from the one on the c-man KS linked. the fence on the linked c-man, although not a t square like a bies or a delta t2, is nonetheless a first rate and eminently usable fence.

you extend the right table out and theres an extra table that fits in the gap which accommodates a router for use with the ts fence.
