I am (still) in the market for a table saw for my project of re-building my shop. My old table saw was a Ridgid 3612 and did not have a riving knife.
I am looking at a sub $700 budget for the table saw, so that leaves me a few options. A new Ridgid TS4520, new Delta 36-725T2 or buying a used TS. I have ruled out buying a JobSite saw (thanks for the feedback). I am a part time hobby WW, mainly doing house projects, shop projects, and making signs and cutting boards.
Most of the used TS I am looking at do NOT have a built in Riving Knife. As I get older, I want to ensure I am as safe as possible. I would love to buy a SS, but the budget is not there.
I know I can install a splitter, but that is not the same as a riving knife.
WWYD?
Thanks!
