Ridgid has unveiled a new hybrid saw called the R4511. It features a granite top, enclosed base, large handwheels, steel t-square fence, and the Herculift. No reports on motor or trunnion details, and no indications about a riving knife. Rumor has it that it will retail at $600, making it an outstanding price if it turns out to be a solid design.
It appears to have some common ground with the Steel City/Orion hybrids...the granite top is one clue, the cabinet that resembles the Craftsman 22114 is another, and the motor cover is yet a third strong clue. If that suspicion turns out to be true, I wonder if it's got cabinet mounted trunnions like the other SC/Orion hybrids?
