Workbench Magazien reviewed this saw along with the Bosch 4000-07, DeWalt
DW744S, Craftsman 137.218300 and Ryobi BTS20 in their April 204 Issue (Issue
#282).

The Ridgid was the Editors Choice and the Craftsman was Top Value.

Pro's for the Bosch were enormous stock support, powerful, quiet and smooth
running. Con's were "Too large for one person to move, blade changing is
troublesome and below average dust collection. The

Pro's for the Ridgid were "Excellent base, Great performance, outstanding
features and controls." Cons were "no outfeed support, finish rubbed off
tabletop."

Their verdict was that "Ridgid sets the standard for jobsite table saws.
Represents the best of all worlds at a competitive price."

It should be noted that both the Ridgid and Bosch offer soft start.

I bought the Craftsman and found it to perform quite well.

Sorry if it ends up there twice).

Hello. What is the general opinion of the Rigid TS2400LS portable table
table saw? Its about 100.00 cjeaper than the Bosch portable table saw
(with
folding stand). It has a 3 year warrenty and 90 day money back gaurentee.
I'm not worried about table extentions as I can create a folding outfeed
table set up for the basement. The issue is simply quality and
durability.

Thank you.

Michael
