Question about Rigid R4512 table saw - Belt or direct drive?

[Gary Gill]

Greetings, Does the Rigid R4512 table saw have a belt or direct drive? I have searched the threads here but did not answer this question. Our local HD store does not have one on the floor to look at. Thanks

Go to the Ridgid website and bring up the parts diagram for the Ridgid 4512 Table Saw It shows that part #102 is a drive belt.

Yes, the saw is drive belt driven (not a direct drive).

Thanks Paul.

It's a short serpentine belt that's well hidden.
