RIDGID TS2424 Table Saw: Real Specs & Buying It Used (2026)

The RIDGID TS2424 is a 13-amp, 1.5 HP contractor table saw with a cast-iron top and a 3-1/4 in. cutting depth – but RIDGID discontinued it years ago, so it is now sold only used or as a parts saw. Buying one without checking the fence and belt first usually means inheriting someone else’s tune-up problems. This guide covers the real specs, the fence issue owners report most, and where to still buy compatible inserts and parts.

RIDGID TS2424 Specs: What You Are Actually Getting

The TS2424 is a belt-drive contractor saw built around a cast-iron table top, which is what gives it the flat, stable cutting surface that benchtop saws in this price range typically lack. Here is what the spec sheet actually says:

Spec	Value
Motor	13 amp, 1.5 HP, 120V
Blade diameter	10 in.
Max cutting depth (90 degrees)	3-1/4 in.
Bevel range	0 to 45 degrees
Table material	Cast iron
Base	Herculift folding mobile base

Is the RIDGID TS2424 Still Sold New?

No. The TS2424 does not appear anywhere in RIDGID’s current table saw lineup, which today lists only two jobsite-style saws on folding stands. Neither is a cast-iron-top contractor saw like the TS2424. That means every TS2424 on the market today is a used or parts unit, sold outside any manufacturer warranty.

📊 RIDGID’s current table saw catalog lists just two models – the 10 in. Pro Jobsite Table Saw with Stand and the 15 Amp 10 in. Table Saw with Folding Stand – and neither has the cast-iron top the TS2424 had. Source: RIDGID Table Saws, current lineup

What Replaced the TS2424?

Nothing directly. RIDGID’s current table saws are lighter jobsite models built around aluminum tables and folding stands for portability, not the cast-iron contractor format the TS2424 used. If a cast-iron top and a fixed base matter to your shop, a used TS2424 (or a comparable used contractor saw from another brand) is closer to what you are actually looking for than anything currently in RIDGID’s catalog.

Common RIDGID TS2424 Problems (And Fixes)

The complaint that comes up most often, across RIDGID’s own user forum and general woodworking forums, is fence drift: the rip fence can work loose from the rails over time and stop reading true at both the front and back of the blade. It is a fixable adjustment, not a defect, but it is the first thing to check on any used TS2424 before trusting it for precision rips.

Zero-Clearance Inserts & Parts You Can Still Buy

Even though the saw itself is discontinued, parts support has not disappeared. RIDGID’s own parts store still lists components for older contractor saws, and aftermarket zero-clearance throat plates are made specifically for this model rather than as a universal fit – see the pick above.

Buying a Used RIDGID TS2424: What to Check First

Since every TS2424 on the market now is used, run this five-point check before you hand over any money:

1. Check for the riving knife and blade guard: Confirm the riving knife, blade guard, and anti-kickback pawls are all present and move freely – these are the parts most often missing or removed on a used contractor saw.
2. Square the fence to the miter slot: Lock the fence at the blade and measure the distance from the fence to the miter slot at the front and back of the table; more than about 1/32 in. of difference means the fence needs adjustment or has worn rails.
3. Check the drive belt and pulley alignment: Open the base cabinet and look for a cracked, glazed, or loose belt, and confirm the motor pulley and arbor pulley are aligned – a worn belt on this model causes vibration and inconsistent cut depth.
4. Test the on/off switch and emergency stop: Plug in the saw briefly and confirm the paddle switch engages and disengages cleanly, since a sticking switch on an older saw is a real safety issue, not just an inconvenience.
5. Spin the blade by hand and check for arbor runout: With the saw unplugged, spin the blade by hand and watch for wobble at the rim – noticeable runout usually means a bent arbor or damaged bearing, which costs more to fix than most used TS2424 units are worth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cutting capacity of the RIDGID TS2424 table saw?

The RIDGID TS2424 has a 3-1/4 in. maximum cutting depth at 90 degrees, with the blade tilting to 45 degrees for bevel cuts. It’s a 10 in. blade, 13-amp, belt-drive contractor saw, not a full cabinet saw.

Can I still buy the RIDGID TS2424 new?

No. RIDGID discontinued the TS2424 years ago, and it no longer appears on ridgid.com’s current table saw lineup. The only ways to get one now are used listings (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, local classifieds) or a parts saw bought for its cast-iron top and Herculift base.

Can I use the RIDGID TS2424 for bevel cuts?

Yes. The TS2424’s blade tilts from 0 to 45 degrees, so standard bevel cuts and compound miters are within its range, the same as most contractor-class 10 in. saws of its era.

Does the RIDGID TS2424 come with a warranty?

Not anymore. RIDGID’s manufacturer warranty only applies to saws purchased new from an authorized dealer. Since the TS2424 is discontinued, any unit sold today is used, private-sale equipment with no manufacturer coverage – factor that into what you’re willing to pay.

Where can I find replacement parts and zero-clearance inserts for the RIDGID TS2424?

RIDGID’s own parts store still lists parts for older contractor saws, and third-party zero-clearance inserts (like ZEROSERT’s 3-pack) are made to fit the TS2424 directly. Check both before assuming a used saw is unrepairable.

What’s the most common problem RIDGID TS2424 owners report?

Fence drift. Owners on RIDGID’s own user forum and other woodworking forums note the rip fence can work loose over time and needs to be re-squared to the rails periodically – check this first on any used unit before you trust it for precision rips.

Conclusion

The RIDGID TS2424 was a solid cast-iron contractor saw in its day, and a well-maintained used unit can still handle real ripping and crosscutting work. But since RIDGID no longer sells it or backs it with a warranty, the value is entirely in the condition of the specific saw in front of you – check the fence, belt, and blade guard before you buy, and budget for a zero-clearance insert if the factory throat plate is worn.
