When a Circular Saw won’t cut it, there is the Milwaukee 6507 Sawzall.   With various speeds, this saw will cut through just about anything you put in the way.  It’s great for cutting in between joists, eaves, corners, nails, metal, concrete, and wood.  Sawzall blades are available for just about anything that you want to cut.

Milwaukee is known for their powerful, high-quality tools, and the 6507 Sawzall is no exception. With this model, you can pivot the blade to cut at different angles.  The blades are easy to change, and you can remove the power cord [48-76-4008] for storage or easy replacement.  The Milwaukee 6507 Sawzall is versatile, comfortable and powerful.

Probably the most common problem with this saw occurs when the blade clamp [42-68-0073] or the screw [06-75-2402] that holds the blade clamp breaks.

Here is a picture of the blade clamp and the screw:

This is usually due to heavy use over a long period of time. The good news is that these are both cheap parts, and they are easy to replace.

Many of our customers like the size of this saw.  At about 16” you can reach those harder to reach areas, and get the job done.  This saw can handle a good workload, but according to some customers, overheating can happen on larger jobs.  If your Milwaukee 6507 Sawzall overheats, just give it a few minutes to cool down.  Overall, this does not seem to be a big problem – just a small issue on large continuous jobs.

A high end product with a low end price, we think the Ridgid TS3650 contractor table saw is a great value, and both woodworking professionals and enthusiasts seem to agree. This saw is on par with many of the significantly more expensive contractor’s saws, and many claim the only way to move up from the Ridgid is by switching to a massive (and costly) cabinet saw.

It has a solid 1-1/2 horsepower TEFC Motor [TH1009] that keeps dust and debris out of the motor. This motor isn’t as powerful as what you’d find on a cabinet saw, but it keeps up with the more expensive contractor’s saws. The rip fence [TH1019] is accurate, and it repeats cuts remarkably well for a stock fence – this accounts for a lot of the value of this saw, and it’s a big reason for it being so highly recommended by so many.

The saw cuts dadoes with excellent precision, although the shape of the arbor on older models doesn’t allow it to handle stacked dado blades. Newer models of the saw have fixed this problem by replacing that arbor, and the new arbor is both available and interchangeable with the older models.

Ridgid’s Herc-U-Lift mobile base comes standard with every TS3650. The base’s adjustable height, solid thick steel construction, mobility, and small footprint make this saw easily to move and work with in both workshops and job sites.

Great design, solid construction and a low price make this table saw one of the best purchases any woodworker can make, and, as always, Ridgid TS3650 parts are available here at eReplacementparts.
