Hi
I just signed up a couple of days ago and have been searching for recommendations on either Grizzly or Ridgid tools on a 14" bandsaw (shopsmith replacement), 6" jointer, and 13" planer. Seems as if most magazine reviews I've been reading rate the Ridgid tools a "Best Value" award, but never a "Best Overall". I get the same idea about the Grizzly tools. Prices of both brands seem to give a lot of tool for the dollar. I haven't seen anything in any of the postings that would indicate that I should stay away from either brand. In fact, I seem to remember a "higher-up" from Grizzly answering a post.
I'm not looking for a lot of bells and whistles, just a solid machine that does what it's supposed to.
Any Ridgid or Grizzly guys out there with opinions?
Thanks
Bob
