If those 3 saws were in the local paper for sale I would not even
bother to pick up the phone to call on the Ridgid or Roybi..

I would on the DeWalt...

I have been doing serious woodworking for 40+ years and over time have
developed a bad attitude about some brands.. Sorry to say this but
Roybi is one ...Ridgid on the other hand has Not yet reached that
point but I have not been impressed by any of their machines except
maybe for their planer... Even saying that I still use a few
Craftsman machines I bought in the late 60"s

Just my biased opinion...offered without any data to back it up..
