Delta 36 725 vs ridgid r4512. But it does look like ridgid has resolved a lot of the issues now. My short list would include the delta 36 725 or the g0771. I narrowed it down to the delta 36 725 and the rigid r4513. Taking it back for the other model ridgid r4512 or the delta 36 725.
The delta has a better fence and a better track record than the r4512 imo anyway. The g0771 offers a full enclosure solid cast wings comparable fence to the r4512 and cabinet mounted trunnions. I purchased a r4512 in january of 2013 and although ridgid has sent me new rail components and a complete new fence it still is pretty difficult to get a straight rip. I have read lots of reviews and i am still cant nail it down.
Rigid 4512 v delta 36 725 i am in the market for a new table saw i have narrowed my choice down to these two models. I think at this point if i were buying ridgid new id sell the fence immediately and get the delta t2 fence separately. Oh and before somebody throws the grizzly g0771z into the mix i am not wiling to go the extra 400 this would cost. Anyone have an opinion here between these two or which would be best.
Could be interesting in the long run even post warranty because the motor in the delta isnt your standard motor that youd find at harbor freight or tractor supply or any other old contractor saw.

Delta 36 725 vs ridgid r4512 long time watcher here wondering about these two saws. The delta might not have parts in the future but has a great rail system which is what makes a table saws great. The rigid might have the trunnon issue and the rail might bend because it is aluminum.
