I saw an item by FastCap called the 10 Million Dollar Stick. It looks like a great safety tool for a miter saw. Cutting small pieces on the miter saw is dangerous as your fingers are close and a piece can be thrown at you. I Have had one of the 10 Million Dollar Sticks for years now and they work great... I think when I got mine they were about $10.00 but I see Grizzly has then now for $14.80 OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 I bought a 12" Delta Cruzer which has a clone in Ridgid. I replaced my radial arm saw that was 45 yrs old. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjweb Posted June 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Ok I got it narrowed down to 2 different saws, Ridgid 7 1/4 inch double bevel, cordless 24 lbs and craftsman 7 1/4 inch single bevel cordless 21.5 lbs, both saw features are about the same except for the double bevel on the Ridgid saw. Any opinions of which one would be appreciated, Thx RJ OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any opinions of which one would be appreciated, Thx RJ I'd go Ridgid. At least they make their stuff, I think. And buying from H/D means warranty/service. Sears is gone if I'm not mistaken. Who does their service? Sears never made anything. Everything they sold came from suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBob Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 I also would choose the Ridgid given those choices. The Craftsman brand is owned buy Stanley. Who makes there power tools is anybody's guess. Ridgid power tools are manufactured by Techtronic Industries, which is a subsidiary of Emerson Electric as of 2022. Founded in 1923 in Ohio, Rigid tools remains in American ownership and are typically made in China. Currently, Rigid tools are sold exclusively to Home Depot as well as on Ridgid.com OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact that it can go up against the wall and not stick way out. I bought this saw about two months ago. It went on a one day sale for $299 and I had a 10% coupon. It is an absolute dream of a miter saw. It is the exact same thing as the Delta Cruiser which sells for $500 minimum. Basically it is a Delta in the color orange. It is heavy and I mounted it semi-permanently to a miter saw cabinet that I built. kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjweb Posted October 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I just seen a YouTube on this saw that it is the same as delta cruiser, thx for the info. For now my son just bought a DW 12 inch sliding dual bevel saw, so I will use his for now, but too heavy, and see what Black Friday brings, RJ OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
