Ridgid Bandsaw, check your prices!

[LinuxRandal]

I was at the borg on Tuesday and looked at the Ridgid 14" bandsaw (never received a reply on the Foley Belsaw, and it was gone that evening). I am just going to watch for a while (no real need), but I saw a price tag at the top of mine that said $309. I am wondering if they are dropping the price, dropping the saw, loosing the display (which still had two other $36+ tags), or just made a mistake and left a sale tag on.


Going to try to check it today, but on 12's the next several days.

It was still marked at $380something at the HD here yesterday.

If you are talking about the BS1400, looks like it's being replaced with a new model (R474).

Here's a blurp about it from a Wood Magazine Blog:

I hope the build quality of the new model is a lot better than the BS1400. (yes, still bitter about it!!)

Is the ridgid model not a good one? I had always thought I should go for it whenever (if !) I ever get lucky and get to buy a BS.

I've had my Ridgid 14" for about a year now. . .only issue I've got is I can't get my resaw capability trued up (my issues). Other than that, great saw!
