R4511 mini-gloat

[dewi1219]

My never-ending search for a new TS ended today back where it started, at HD. I saw on the Ridgid forum today that the R4511 might be coming back. I stopped by HD on my way home today to look at something else. I had forgotten about the R4511 thread, but when I got to the tool crib, there was the display model that they had pulled from the floor and refused to sell four weeks ago. It was still marked $299. I asked for the manager, pointed out that it was missing a few small items, and asked what he could do on the price. He obviously new little about the R4511. After a little haggling he said he could take another $60 off. I almost sprained my wrist reaching for my wallet I walked out with the saw for $239 plus tax. Now that I have it home I just have to figure out how to get it off my trailer. It took four of us to get it on the trailer at HD...

It is a display model that is dusty, poorly assembled, and has a few scratches like you would expect. But for the money I won't compain. Now I just have to return the C'man 21833 I bought when I thought the Ridgid had become extinct.

congrats on a good find. at that price, it is gloat worthy. as to getting it off the trailer, remove the extension tables. they are quite heavy. with those and the rails off, a good appliance dolly, one or two extra hands and some strategically placed 2x material, it should be in your shop in short order. good luck with the new saw and may i offer this thread's first:

you suck!
