Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy an inexpensive 14" bandsaw, and on I'm looking at a Ridgid that someone has for sale. It's the older grey version, but it's supposedly in mint condition and hardly used. He's asking $150, but I'm sure I can get that down a bit.
Although Ridgid doesn't have a great reputation on their bandsaws, I've heard the older grey model is better than the new orange one. What are your thoughts? I'd like to be able to do some resawing, but probably only in the 4-5" thick range. Do you think the 3/4 hp motor is up to it?
Any advice or comments on the Ridgid saws, and how they compare to other 3/4 - 1 hp 14" saws, is appreciated.
Thanks.
Joe
