Hunting for a miter saw

[Roof gunner]

I’ve been tearing the net apart looking for a particular miter saw. It’s a ridgid 10” sliding compound miter saw with 70 degree miter capacity. Their discontinued a year ago but I still want one. I can get the 12” one all day but their just to cumbersome to move around all the time. Their has to be one out there somewhere !!

Sorry, no help. I have the rigid 12” on the stand which makes a world of difference. Good luck

I have my DeWalt 12" on a rolling stand that lets me collapse it and wheel the thing around. That really does make a huge difference when you don't have a dedicated bench setup.

Have you tried just upgrading to the 12" and not flinting on a good stand?

MEETOO!!!! Hell, I used it for one project and then it sits in a corner all folded up. LOL Just too much of a hassle to unfold. If I'm doing one or two cuts, the old one does me fine. I haven't cut that many pieces since I did my built-ins. (which is what I bought it for.)

I have a brand new stand I can mount it on but the problem is getting in the back of my truck by myself. I have contacted ridgid and they weren’t much help. They said the currant problem with China and shipping to the states isn’t helping matters either. There is one laying around somewhere. I just have to find it. Ridgid modle R4210

Road trip since they won't ship.

One sold last week on eBay. Maybe set an item alert if you need that model.

Believe it or not black n red I’ve already seen that one ! Lol not the one I’m after tho

Just curious, but what are you doing that you need a 70 degree miter?

 

[Roof gunner]

I build flag boxes for memorial flags that need them. I have a jig set up for my table saw but being able to spin the miterbox to 671/2 degrees to make the bottom miters would be a lot more convient I enjoy making them and never charge for them.
