Title: RBI Hawk
Post by: LarrynKy on September 04, 2012, 10:09:14 pm

Here is a RBI Hawk I saw on CL for $425.  Do you think this is a good value?

Thanks

I have had 2 and they are great saws.  Whether the price is right partly depends on the model.  If it is a 26 inch or close with variable speed, thats a bargain.  If it is a 16 inch with a single speed, not so much.  RBI was shut down, however the line has been taken over by Bushton Mfg who offers parts and is back in production with some models.

Looks a lot like my saw.  Definitely a good buy.

I purchased my 21 inch as a demo model in '03 and it's still going strong.
