A few months of heavy use with the R4251 12″ dual bevel compound miter saw from Ridgid, and I want to share an honest review! I know that there are going to be a lot of questions like:
-Is the R4251 the same as the Delta Cruzer?
-Does the R4251 have Ridgid’s lifetime service agreement?
-Is the sliding mechanism on the R4251 accurate?
-How do I change the blade on the R4251?

I’ll cover ALL OF THOSE and more in this honest review!
