   Rigid from HD is not a bad deal..I've had one for 4? yrs.  Went together like cake..works like a charm. Get the roller base too.

   hello sphere  you the one w/ the new abode   log planks chinked w/ metal roof

   I like that front elevation very much  you going to be able to maintain that patina and get it just this side of the 21st century?  best of luck and I'll look forward to seeing more pictures

   should have posted this request on the thread where you spoke of the purchase of new Rigid saw stand  -  saw this very morning in an ad in my newspaper that very stand  -  $ 199 or close

   please post a review    does it have convenient, well engineered stops  etc  ?

   One in the same,  been wire wheeling and flap sanding the logs where they are x-posed inside..not enoughto warrent the blaster..still on wires and insulation then some sheetrock.

   did not get the stand today..have other stuff to get in the truck that won't enjoy a 50 min. ride down the interstate in sno/sleet/rain mix..Fri. fer sure.

   I'll let yall know how it is..the money I saved on the saw will cover the stand.

   Yes, I'd love to buy one of these, but the good ones are not made anymore.  They were clearenced out at HD a couply of months ago and I can not find any now.  They make a replacement model, but no thanks.

   sorry about that, I didn't know...If I had to shop now, Id look into a Bosch..not as big as the Rigid but a real good saw.

   Go to http://www.taunton.com/cgi-bin/artresult-fh.cgi and you can search the index and find it.

   If you are looking for what is called a contractors saw and not a job site saw I have the Jet and really like it.

   Yep, that's the artical I was thinking of.  Older than I had hoped though.  Not sure 7-yr old reviews are still that relavant.  I think it's time for a new review!
