Just about to the point to where I hate my Ridgid table saw. I have a 4511. The first one I had broke to arbor shaft on May 5, 09. That was either the first or second to break, and what caused the recall. Now today I am making a 30 degree bevel rip. I started the saw and hear a ticking sound. I shut it down and move blade by hand. Nothing. Start again and sound is worse. Shut it down and pull the throat plate and find this.
The bolt for the trunnion had backed out and was hitting the dang blade. Well I tightened it up and went on to finish what I was working on. Don't know how much more I can take from these Ridgid tools. I found another problem today as well. Might put that in another post. Going to take some brain power to fix this one. Might just go get me a Uni.
