The Ridgid Band Saw - Quiet Cutting Features
Tired of that noisy old band saw in your workshop? Maybe it’s time for you to get a smooth running and quiet
Ridgid band saw.
That screaming old band saw of yours may not just irritate you, but it may also have some serious repercussions.
This is no joke. Too much noise while working in your workshop might not be good for your health.
According to many scientific studies, noise pollution can cause a lack of sleep, irritability, indigestion,
heartburn, and high blood pressure. If you are tired of that annoying noise that your old band saw is making, maybe
it is high time for you to consider purchasing a new saw, and one that does not make so much noise.
One of the most smooth running and quiet saws on the market today is Ridgid band saw. It has a ¾ HP TEFC
induction motor that is built to exude minimal noise. The Ridgid saw is the perfect choice for those who want to
work without too much noise.
Other Benefits of the Ridgid Band Saw
Heavy and Durable Construction:
The Ridgid saw may not be large compared to other band saws, but its construction is simply amazing. Just consider
its table. Some band saws have aluminum alloy tables. Manufactures who equip their saws with aluminum alloy tables
say that their product will last a long time. That promise and the fact that they put a relatively low price on
their saws fools many people into thinking this product will last a long time. Aluminum may handle heavy-duty work
for quite some time, but it will not last long.
When it comes to band saw table material, cast iron is still the best. Tough and durable, a cast iron table will
handle heavy work pieces for many years. Ridgid knows that fact. The Ridgid band saw is equipped with an extremely
durable cast iron table that will withstand heavy work for a long time.
The Ridgid band saw is also equipped with a cast iron frame. With that type of frame, you can expect that your
saw will not easily get damaged. The motor and other sensitive materials will remain safe from the elements from
the sturdy cast iron frame.
Supreme Precision:
Woodworkers in the old days complain that they unintentionally make wrong cuts due to the machine’s uncontrollable
vibration. That problem cannot happen with a Ridgid saw. Its heavy-duty construction and frame is not only designed
to protect the machine, but also helps to minimize vibrations that may cause erroneous cuts. Aside from that, the
Ridgid band saw also has blade guides that can be adjusted to ensure precise cuts are made.
Dust Collection System:
Working with a band saw can be fun. What most owners do not want is the mess that accumulates in the workshop once
work is over. You cut wood all day and your workshop will get dusty. That is a problem that many makers of these
kinds of saws have not addressed.
Fortunately, you will not go through with this problem with a Ridgid band saw. Ridgid designers and engineers
know that cleanliness is very important in every workshop. So they equipped their saws with a built-in dust
collection port to help maintain cleanliness in the workshop.
Very User Friendly:
A machine is designed to make work easier. The Ridgid band saw lives up to that expectation. It has soft-touch
knobs so that users can make adjustments easier. It also features very visible indicators.
