Power & Motor

Both table saws are corded and run on 120 V. The C10RJS draws 15 amps. The R4512 draws 13 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the saws.

The C10RJS motor spins at 4500 rpm and the R4512 motor spins at 3450 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it won’t be a problem to find a wide variety of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor won’t limit your options.

Both table saws accept dado blades up to 13/16” thick.

Size & Capacity

The Metabo HPT has 35” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 22” of rip capacity to the left. The Ridgid has 30” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 15” of rip capacity to the left. As a rule, a larger rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger and heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

Both saws can bevel up to 45° and are able to cut up to 2 1/4” at an angle of 45°. The C10RJS can cut up to 3 1/8” deep at 90°. The R4512 will cut up to 3 1/4” at a 90° angle.

The table on the Metabo HPT has a width of 28 3/4” and a depth of 22”. The table on the Ridgid has a width of 40” and a depth of 27”.
