12 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Cruzer Miter Saw

A:  It's not. Aside from color and name, they are identical.

A:  Well, I'm sorry to point out the obvious but they are not identical. 1st and main difference is the sliding mechanism behind each saw. The Rigid has a sliding dual shaft that the saw travels along. This can get dirty and cause friction over time creating the need to clean and oil the shaft. The Delta has a robotic type dual arms that extend instead of slide. The arm extension motion is smoother than any slide I've ever worked with. It uses bearings in the pivot points that are sealed and don't need cleaning. I have had my saw now 3 years and have never had to clean the mechanisms due to debris. Another point of interest is the 3 year warranty on the Rigid. The Delta has a 5 year warranty. I know that Rigid boasts a lifetime warranty if you register, but I will tell you that my experience has been a non warranty issue with every call I've made. And getting parts has been troublesome. I needed a replacement part due to my own error on the delta and I had a replacement within 1 week. Lifetime warranties are never really lifetime in my opinion and by my experience. Also, look into the LED cut line indicator. I am not sure if this is the same type of cutting line or not. The delta calls it a shadow light. This projects the light down from the top side of the blade creating the blade shadow on the cutting surface at exactly the line you want to cut. If this is the same type, it's a great feature. If this is different, I'd opt for one with a shadow light. They work the best. I don't know if this helps, but I looked at the DeWalt , Rigid, and Delta when I was shopping for mine. I have never regretted the decision. Good Luck!
