Did some searching for reviews of the Rigid 14" bandsaw. Not too promising.

Are they really as bad as the posters are saying or is this just the
people who have been unlucky to get bad units?

The ones I have looked at in person certainly had that made to a low
price Chinese look to them. I'm very happy with my Made in Canada
General woodworking bandsaw and I'm glad I bought a heavy duty unit at
the time instead of one of the lighter ones. I expect to still be
using that saw 20 or more years from now.
