" ... great fence, good adjustments, overall fit/feel/quality very good. ... "
" ... I make toys or other small woodworking projects. ... You can buy one for about $40 or make your own from wood scraps. ... "
" ... I mostly use hand saws, since there isn't enough space for a lot of power tools, but this 10" Rikon bandsaw has proven to be well worth the room it takes up. ... I built a small wheeled cart that holds it, along with my 1 gallon air compressor. ... I rarely need to rip anything thicker than 3/4", but it's always handled any wood I fed it. ... "
" ... The Fence not as sturdy as i would have hoped, but a clamp mostly fixes this. ... "
" ... I’m happy I finally got one as it’s been an amazing tool and opened new doors and possibilities. ... This is also small enough that I leave it on the end of my assembly table. ... But so far this has done everything if needed and taking up a tiny space. ... "
" ... The unit is very heavy and sturdy. ... The unit uses nylon screws - how is that going to work on a fence that will need to bear a lot of weight being pushed against it? ... "
" ... Comes mostly assembled and required very little work to get it set up, aligned and working. ... "
" ... Holes line up …sturdy part ... "

" ... The Fence not as sturdy as i would have hoped, but a clamp mostly fixes this. ... "
" ... The initial setup went well, the pieces fit together easily. ... "
" ... I tend to fuss over setup, so it's handy to have the tools mounted on the saw case for quick adjustments, The fence storage is clever. ... "
" ... will be using it mainly for resawing small to medium stock up to 6 in. ... "
" ... perfect for a small shop ... "
" ... The stand was fairly easy to assemble, however, the bolts and nuts at the corners were so close together, it made putting the nuts on the bolts very difficult. ... "
" ... In the future if I need to rip large pieces, sure I can upgrade. ... "

" ... However, once everything is setup the bandsaw cuts very well. ... The tracking and tension adjustments also work very well to keep the blade cutting straight, or curved, when necessary. ... This Rikon bandsaw is very quiet while running and cutting. ... "
" ... With the correct set up cuts were very smooth. ... "
" ... This saw has had zero issues cutting through hardwoods in both small curvy cuts and rip cuts. ... The cast iron top has also been wonderful as I pop a Magswitch feather board on and cut without worrying about drift. ... "
" ... Cuts like butter. ... "
" ... Cut great, good quality bandsaw, can't beat the price ... "
" ... Cuts great, threw on a 1/2 inch 4TPI from olson and its perfect for resaws at full height (just over 5 inches), and has cut walnut, pine, and maple with no problems. ... "
" ... Cuts wood like butter, and the finished cut requires minimal clean up. ... "
" ... Some have advised getting a new blade right away, but the blade on mine is actually cutting quite cleanly, and I shouldn't have to replace it for awhile. ... "
