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 better bandsaws are Luguna and General. Jet and Delta are not
quite as good as they used to be. If you go cheap, you'll regret it
when you must do a total bandsaw tuneup--one of the most dreaded
operations in the shop.
