Default Rigid Band Saws?

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?



I picked one up off craigslist in my area for next to nothing.I spent
the time to tune it up and put a Timberwolf blade on it. I'm a home
hobbiest and and it fits my needs. Although the toughest thing I've
probably done with it is re-saw some 8/4 x 6" cherry..it cut smooth
with almost no drift at all. Did a wonderful job slitting the
chestnuts yesterday too. I'm happy.
