I was considering getting a Rigid bandsaw until I read some of the
reviews on the HD web site. I like the looks of the saw, like the price
and I already have a table saw and jointer, which I am very pleased
with. Is this saw really as bad as some have suggested?

If you're not in an overwhelming hurry, I've got a Ridgid 14" sitting
here in its box, plus a Steel City 16" standing nearby. I need to
assemble both, but can't work in the shop right now--temps still in
the high 80s, low 90s, no air, age creeping up along with the
waistline, etc. I figure to get them done some time towards the end of
the month (nose surgery late next week is probably going to eat 2-3
days, and my schedule is already too damned tight for this week and
early next). Figure the 26th or so.
