Ridgid Oscillating Spindle Sander Question

Can’t comment about the color differences (if any) but I think the consumables are the same and Home Depot has those. They are a bit pricey IMO. One of these days I’ll try to find oem stuff online for a better price. If you find somewhere let us know as I could use some new drums for mine.

Hi Matt
I think these guys may be able to help you out.

I’ve ordered hook & loop ROS pads from them in the past and was very happy with what I got.

Hope this helps.

thanks guys, appreciate it. unfortunately it’s a moot point as he replied he was asking $200 for it. i politely informed him it retails for $200 with a lifetime warranty for the newer model, not sure what he’s thinking.

Yes, there are some real princes out there on CL. I saw an add for a Ridgid 14” Bandsaw and the guy was asking $800. I sent him an email and just suggested maybe there was a missprint because it sold for less than that new. He called me an A..hole and told me to mind my own F…ing business.

I hae the grey one.got it on cl for 80. No difference than new orange model other than color.

I have one of the gray ones since they came on the market (about 15 years give or take). have nothing but good things to say about it. I have used it heave and almost every day.

Michael, I have run into similar scenarios with the Ridgid bandsaws. They used to sell for that much. Home deopt now sells them for 369.99, and they often go on sale for 289.99. I got called a lot worse, so I followed it up with a link to the website. My next response was something along the lines of “ugh, 300$ and it’s yours”. After reading reviews though I am going to pass unless I can get one for under 100$
