RA200 Owners

[Whaler]

The manual is no longer available due to the Ryobi safety re call.

I can't believe that there are so many RA200s out there that are alive and well. I have had 10 requests for the scan of the owners manual in the past 30 days.
One more testimonial for Ryobi quality.

I have owned an RA200 for many years.After about the first 3 years of ownership,the saw was recalled by Ryobi for possible casting defects in the head assembly. Ryobi paid to have the saw returned to them and then sent me a brand new saw as a replacement;now that's what I call "customer service!" Other than replacing the stock blade with the Freud blade made specially for radial arm saws,I have had absolutely no problems with this saw and would highly recommend its' purchase to anyone who does not need a 10" saw. Unfortunately, the saw is no longer made by Ryobi, but strangely, I saw what appears to be an exact clone for sale by Harbor Freight.

Mine is about ready to turn 17 without a glitch. Probably one of the best $250.00 I have ever spent.

I have been casually looking for one of those for months. Someday...

After not using mine for a few years I put it up for sale planing on a CMS. The light clicked on and I realized that I had one buried in the back of the shop. After a good cleaning, a new blade and table it's now back in full service. Glad it didn't sell.

Does the RA200 have a 8" blade? If so, I saw one at a garage sale a while back for $175. I thought the price was high for the shape it was in. I went back later to take another look and it was gone.

The blade size is 8 1/4". I think $175.00 is a bit high for a used one as it is discontinued and there are NO parts available. I bought mine new in 1989 for $250.00.

Ryobi RA200 Manual Needed!!

I saw a thread by "Whaler" who said that he would be happy to send a copy of the ownrs manual for the Ryobi radial arm saw RA200. I would be very appreciative if you would contac me at s.neltner@us.sandb.com to discuss. I am in dire need!

Thank you!

I probably have a manual somewhere - not a copy - and would send for price of postage. Also have some parts left over after sending the motor for recall.

[bmyers]

old thread but.. can you send me a copy?


Thanks,
Bill

Not to weasel out of sending you one, but a couple faster ideas: If you just need the parts list, it's here.
The manual for the Harbor Freight version is here, looks very similar to the Ryobi.

Send PM if you still need a manual.

Sorry Guys, I no longer have the manual available.
