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.

I love craigslist. You can buy anything at a fraction of the original price. I
bought a Delta's 28-262 premium edition Made in USA (lightly used), with
Carter's guide for $250 at SF's craigslist. For the last six months, I came
across a brand new un open Delta hollow chisel mortiser for $100, an Atlas's
lathe with full accessories for $250. How about a Performax 22-44 Pro Drum
Sander for $250?

You suck. Around here, they want higher than retail for old rusty POS
tools. "Good" used tools are generally not available at any price.
