What are you going to use it for? Resawing 10" stock might not be its'
strongest suit, but it will work fine on 6" stock. It actually took
home a FWW award about a year or more ago as a good value. I think you
are spot on when you consider the price/performance. If you are into
lots of bandsaw work it might not be the best match. As a good tool to
use now and again for things like cutting open jewel boxes, odd pattern
cutting, tenons and so forth I am confident you will not regret it.
Yeah, the riser block and fence options are pricey. If you need those
things it puts you into Jet territory. If not, I would give it a go...

I got some HD gift cards and I saw this unit for $299 at HD. Just
wondered if anyone had any practical experience with this particular
saw. And yeah... I know that there are better saws . Who actually
makes this saw for Rigid?
