A few years ago, an article in Forbes magazine said that Home Depot had
out-maneuvered Sears and started used the Craftsman OEM (Emerson) to
manufacture tools, putting them under the Ridgid logo. The Ridgid tablesaw
that I bought at that time sure looked like the earlier Craftsman items --
in fact, HD was giving a $100 trade-in to everyone who turned in a Sears
tablesaw and bought a Ridgid. This forced Sears to go to a new supplier.


As I understand it, the ridged and grizzly 14" BS's are identical and made by
the chiwanese... the craftsman doesn't look anything like my ridged, except
for the size of the wheels..



You guys are driving me CRAZY !!!! Learn how to spell the name. If it ain't
"rigid"... it needs some Viagra. If it ain't "ridged", it must be flat. If it
ain't "Ridgid", it must be a Grizzly.

R-I-D-G-I-D. R-I-D-G-I-D. Got that?

Go look at your tool if you own one as you claim. Or go look at your tool if
you have one as you claim. If it's rigid, see your wife for assistance.
