Ridgid Releases The Beast Tile Saw For Its Third Generation
Ridgid is no stranger to tile saws. Thanks to its history of introducing solid improvements and its attractive pricing structure, they’re one of the most popular tile saw brands you’ll see on jobsites around the country. The flagship Ridgid Beast 10-inch wet tile saw is launching its third version and there are some significant changes to talk about.
Ridgid Beast 10-Inch Tile Saw: The Big Deal
Most of the features from the R4902 move up with the Ridgid 4903. The most notable exception is there’s no laser on the latest version.
The biggest change comes on the rip capacity side of things. With the fence, you now get 36 inches instead of 34. But it gets better. The fence has a drop gate design and when you drop it down, you have unlimited rip capacity to deal with today’s longest cuts.
The diagonal cutting capacity remains the same at 24 inches.
Additional Highlights
- Water tray isolation design helps keep debris out of your water supply
- Folding stand included
- Plunging head
- 0°, 22.5°, and 45° bevel stops
- 3 1/2-inch maximum cutting depth
- 0° – 45° miter guide included (left and right)
- Removable water tray allows for benchtop tile saw operations
- Die cast aluminum table with co-molded rubber surface with 28 inches of material support capacity
- Splash guard returns water to the tray, reducing refills
- Onboard storage for tray and accessories
