Rikon Scroll Saw

[Dave Monk]

A person had shared this on another site so I thought I would share it here. Woodcraft has it.

It sorta looks like a jet, maybe they are making them for Rikon, RJ

I saw that today too Dave. I think it was on Steve Good's site. It looks like a nice saw as long as quality control is doing its job. Of course you have to add $100 or so for the better Pegas chucks.

Hahaha, I just posed about this saw before I seen this topic. 

I'll share this YouTube Demo of the saw here. It reminds me of the Jet saw kind of but it appears to have EX style clamps rather than the barrel clamps of the Jet. Also.. it looks like there is a lot more table surface in front of the blade... I don't think I could get along with the "locking button" for the upper arm.. It looks like it's way near the rear of the saw.. who would want to reach way back there to unlock the arm... Not me.. especially on a detailed fretwork piece

Steve Good posted this u tube demo on his site this morning.  He is trying to get ahold of a machine to test it and do a proper review on it.  My Wen has the locking button on the back of the saw and I really don't have a problem with it.  The only time I really put the arm up is when I change blades.
