Time to upgrade and I have been going nuts with the choices out there. I know I want a belt driven saw and would like a Rivin knife and have found two choices on CL. Ridgid R4511 (granite top), or a Delta 36-979. The Delta is in very good shape but I did not see the fence. the hubby was out and the wife did not know where it was. The 4511 was supposedly never taken out of the box. I understand the 4511 has an issue with the split rail and the granite top is a bit of a concern. I can get the 4511 for $275 and the ridgid for $250. For the Delta an after market Rieven knife is $150 and don't know if I'll need a fence for it.
I am only a hobby woodworker and cannnot fully justify buying new, but would like this to be the last saw I purchase. BTW I am not ruling out buying new. What are your opinions on the two used saws?
