New Toy

[DWSUDEKUM]

I just purchased and set up a Rikon 10-305 10" bandsaw.  It is heads above what I was using.  So much nicer than the Ryobi that I wore out.  The Rikon is made good and solid with very little in the way of plastic.  It uses roller bearings for the blade guides and follower.  Well worth the $285 paid out for it.  I did not get the stand this is a stock photo from Rikon.

Very nice, congrats.

Congrats DW. Nice looking saw and great price. I've been using a 9" Craftsman bench top for the past 20 years. It does what I need it to but there are times I wish I had a larger one. Unfortunately my shop isn't large enough.

I have an import band saw I got in 1980 and it has given me no problems at all so I am hoping that you have as much success with your new saw as I have had with mine. It is always exciting to get a new tool. Many happy cutting ahead.

DW I have heard a lot of good thing about the Rikon 10" band saws. Your really going to like it.

I have that saw and love it. I also put the Carter Stabilizer blade guide on it. They make it so you can cut very tight corners.

Congrats on the new toy, I mean tool. My bandsaw is the second most used power tool in my shop.

I can see a few bandsaw boxes coming our way, I'm still cutting wood to make some on mine but great for cutting up logs.   Roly

Congrats,  I have a nice 14" with a riser block on it for resawing, but I would love to have one of these smaller bandsaws also.  It would be great for things a little too big for the scroll saw, but not so big that I want to change the blade on the 14" to do.  I hate changing blades on a band saw.  I find myself looking for other ways of cutting things so I don't have to mess with changing the blade on the band saw.
