Was this made?

[LinuxRandal]

A saw is for sale locally (NOT a bargin), but looking at it, I didn't think they were made.

An old Emerson made, Grey Ridgid, 12" model on my local Craigslist:

I don't know the model number but it seems pretty obvious by the picture that it is an older Emerson/Ridgid table saw. It predates the current 3650.

At one time Emerson Electric made thier saws here in the U.S., but for at least the last seven years, they've been making them in Asia. The older grey tools was the color scheme prior to turning over the whole lot to Tektronics International (TTI). The "orange" line of tools is made and warranted by TTI, and the "Ridgid" brand is used under a license agreement with Emerson (Ridgid's parent company).

The price seems to be very high, in consideration that a new 3650 is around $500 or so, and it comes with a 3-year warranty and a Limited Lifetime Service Agreement, if you register the tool.

Sorry this wasn't more helpful and that I couldn't provide a specific model number.

If there's one thing we all know, there's no shortage of overpriced used saws of all kinds and brands on ebay and CL. Maybe we should have a running thread, 'Top this price!'

The price may not be high if the saw for sale is, in fact, a 12". These usually have much bigger motors and cost much more than a 10" (a Grizz 12" is $1500). But I don't know if the indicated size is erroneous, since no model number is referenced. If it's really a 10", then the price is indeed high.

It sure looks like a Ridgid TS2424 to me, which is a 10", and 1.5 HP.

Without knowing the model #, I guess we can't say for sure but my answer is 'no' ... Just looking at the casing I can't see how it'd house a 12" blade and necessary hardware to survive a motor capable of swinging a 12" blade. Judging from the price, it's probably another case of somebody not having a clue as to what they have.

I don't recall having ever seen a 12" saw in anything less than a cabinet saw or VERY heavy duty contractor style (non-portable).

Based on the picture which says it's a 2002 Best Buy, that would make it a Model 3612 which is a 10", 1½ HP saw. I paid $597 for my NIB 3612 back in 2002.

It is not a 12" saw, I don't think or that is not the correct photo. I have the saw in the add and it is a 10" Ridgid 2424. Note the American WW best Buy award next to saw.

The photo in the ad is a stock photo, I think, and may not be an accurate representation of the actual saw that's for sale. Not sure I'd try to read too much into it. The saw for sale could still be a 12", but I'd tend to agree with those who think the owner just doesn't have a clue.

[LCHIEN]

I don't think ridgid is much into the big shop tools. Mostly TS for contractors or small shops. A 12" TS would generally be a cabinet saw class machine.

So I don't even believe a 12" Ridgid TS was ever made (but, I could be wrong)
And, I doubt that's a picture of a 12" saw judging by the construction
so probably the seller is clueless.
