does it compare tro the ridgid 14 inch saw?

I guess I'm the step-child in this group but I still think the Grizzly saw is over-rated. (see my original review) I haven't looked at the Ridgid specifically but I have a lot of experience with their products in general and their quality levels. Given that experience I would say it all depends on price. If it's close, go with Grizzly for support and parts availability reasons. If there is a big difference, Ridgid might be a better value-for-money choice.

I chose Grizzly for a couple reasons Easy blade tension release when not in use, excellent bearing blade guides.One more well engineered fence. Ridged is a well known name for quality but Grizzly has done a good job with band saws.

Yes, and I added the extender after purchase to bring it to nearly 22 inch clearance. the factory rep was great when I needed a little guidance and helped with shim suggestions.

Micheille, the saw you are inquiring about is one of their 14 inch band saws. If you need more info. let me know?

I did a little web research and couldn't find specs for your particular model regarding the size of your table insert but I would be willing to bet it fits fine. I haven't heard of any 14" bandsaws myself that these don't fit. If the opening is 2.5" you're good.

I don't know...I have a Ridgid 14" that was listed on the website as fitting my model, and it was an easy 10 minute fix.

Yes. I bought one but haven't used it yet. I'm sure it's a good product. The saw is remarkable. It's rare that you get to say that about any product now a days!

Yes. I just looked up the delta 14" saw online to make sure they're the same size. Most 14" bandsaws have a 2.5" opening. So.....you're good to go. I love these things.

The saw is the same. Get the bag kit. The full kit is a lot more money and not worth it for the accessories you get.

Type of saw doesn't matter it's universal. As far as size it accommodates up to a 30 inch blade.

14" refers to actual sawing length, 16" refers to total, but since it is chain saw there is cover at end so your cutting length is shorter. Works AWESOME, even my contractor used mine over his! Oh yes he did!

Some folks swear by the models made in Canada over the Taiwan models. I suspect if you have them side by side you can tell the difference. But - compared to other saws in this price class, I think this is the best saw with the best support.

Both handles are similar in blade angle, weight, and handle length. Really, the only difference I see is purly aesthetics.

I have a table saw and choose to use my festool ts 75 instead. It is quicker and cuts perfect straight cuts. Z germans know how too make fine tools which makes life easier.

I have not assembled my saw yet. Best answer I can give is probably. Contact the compny that sells the brand here. They were quick to answer my questions last year.

I am presuming 'RIDGID' is a brand-name. I cannot tell you. Myself, I have used Dewalt for about 30 yrs. I have tried almost everything out there, except RIDGID. I have stuck with and will always use DEWALT. The 2 battery charging deck is really nice. No matter what I am doing, I have yet to run out of gas(?)/power

In all probability. It's a standard size (3/4") and all table saws' slots match more or less. The Kreg has nylon set screws that you can easily adjust to make up for sloppy fitment. I'd bet it'll be easy to fit to your Ridgid saw.

Depends on the diameter of the blade. it cuts from the blade edge to the edge of the chuck ring. 4" no problem with a 14" blade.

It might you have a 50-50 chance that it will . Most of these saws were made in China but the quality is different factory to factory. If your mechanically inclined you can probably make it work. Or save up to buy one of the new 14 inch saws that are already made taller, like the new Jet saw.

The 12" may not be a dual compound bevel saw. As the other poster said the 10" is better because of less blade deflection, except for rough framing stuff where it doesn't matter. The 12" is also too heavy/ cumbersome to transport with other tools all the time..
