Very true! Emerson Electric now manufactures the Rigid line for HD

they did a good job with the new contractor's saw.

Sears went searching for a new supplier. The found Ryobi. I'll leave
the quality discussion up to you.



Now you have me confused. I read in this NG about a year or so ago
that Emerson had stopped making stationary power tools for the Ridge
Tool Company (which are marketed through HD) and that now they are
made by Ryobi.

not sure how you spell it, but I was told here (this ng) that the ridgid and
grizzly are both made by the "elephant" company in China and are identical...

this would seem logical, since I put a grizzly riser block kit on my ridgid saw
and it works fine... YM (and spelling)MV

since pretty much all of the 14" bandsaws on the market now are clones
of the old delta design, it wouldn't be surprising if any of the riser
kits fit any of the saws.
