A coworker of mine has one and absolutely loves it. Next time I need
an ROS, I'm going to give it a serious look.
I currently have a PC 333VS.

The Ridgid stuff is fine. I have a table saw, shop vac, 18v drill, 12"
miter saw, and an oscilating spindle sander by Ridgid so Ian not an
anti-Ridgid kind of guy. All of the gear works well. However, most have
quirks and trying to get repairs, parts, or accessories can be a
challenge. For example, getting a dado insert for the saw was a pain.
This week, the local Home Depot was out of all filters for the vac (they
did get the HEPA filter in a week later). And even store associates
cringe when you bring up repairs.
I will use what I have and it will work well, I am betting. But I would
never buy another Ridgid product due to service/supply chain problems.

No disagreement that they are easy to make. It still does not make the
supply chain problems any better.

Ever try this?

When I wanted an extra set of jointer blades, they were far and away
easier to deal with than a Home Depot special order.
