10" Rikon Bandsaw?

[samuel07]

I am strongly considering the Rikon 10" bandsaw. I'd love to go bigger but this is all I can afford right now.
Has anyone tried this unit out?

While I haven't personally used it myself, it is a very strong favorite raffle prize at my local woodworking club. We've gotten incredible response the two or three times we've had it up for grabs.

I've looked at that one also and I like it. It's basically the same as the Craftsman of the same style. I'd like to have either of them and may later.

We sell them at our local Woodcraft and have not had any returned. They seem to be a pretty sound machine.

I have a cheapie that size and as soon as I can justify replacing it I will get the Rikon. I have a big bandsaw but this one is impressive for it's size and price.
