Discussion for the Ridgid R4510 Portable Table Saw
By looking at the parts diagram I see that the 089037004024 soft start switch is still available and used in the R4510. Maybe I don't understand your question.
The manufacture does not supply a Dado insert for the R4510 Table saw. If you get on line and locate a company that sells Leecraft products you should be able to find one there.
At times it seems all manufactures will run out of certain parts, either because of high demand or not enough purchased from one of their vendors or not enough manufactured. For any reason that does nor make your situation any better. However I did speak with the manufacture this morning and they are expecting the brushes any day now. It will take a few days of processing their orders, after that we will have ours in stock and ready to ship.

Hello 108798,
The complete Ridgid fence assembly can be ordered as an assembly it is part number, 089037004705. It can be ordered through eReplacementparts.com.If you have any other questions please let us know.
I mounted dado blades and now I can't get them off. The arbor wrench keeps slipping on the motor side because wrench jaws keep opening wider. I ordered two new wrenches but I'm afraid these will broke open too. Is there another way to loosen the arbor nut?
I have seen in the past some wrenches made from stamped steel. Those arbor nuts can sometimes be a bear to remove. If the new set won't work for you. Try a better quality set of wrenches. You may have to grind the wrench that goes behind the blade to make it fit.
Good luck,
-WJA

try without the wrench behind the blade by using a piece of wood to get the blades stuck like the old days
The model R4510 is designed to take 6 inch dado blades up to 3/4 inch thick as reported on page 34 of the instruction manual. You also need to make your own throat plate for whatever thickness dado you use.
Is there any company that makes a protective cover for a table saw? Preferrably one that will withstand rain, snow, dust, etc when I leave the saw outdoors?
well try not to leave your precious tools outdoors but if you have to you can wrap it up with 2 tarps, one wrapping the saw from the bottom and one from the top, or try with like a motorcycle cover or something similar
you know I just made me a zero clearance plate for my R4510 with a piece of 3/8" plywood and it works great!!!
I will include a pic of it soon since I have it at work

Hello rohrbachj,
It doesn't look as if the manufacture provides dado inserts for this model of saw. But if you do a search on line I know I've seen after market companies that can provide them for you.
A wire came loose on my 10" R4510 10" Ridgid table saw. As I pulled out the switch all 4 wire have come loose: 2 white, 1 black and 1 red. Now I don't know which wire goes were. Any one has a digram?
In talking with the manufacture the anti-kickback pawl part number 089037004707 is in stock at this time. Delivery time after receipt of order is approximately 1-2 weeks.
I can't get riving knife back in alignment. What's the secret? Every time I think I'm there, between adjusting the bolts and set screws, when I tighten down on the bolts as hard as they were when I bought it new, the knife goes out of alignment. Also, should the knife be centered on the blade or should it be biased to the side away from the rip fence?
