" ... I’m just a hobbyist that does small projects and it’s perfect for that. ... Great saw for hobbyists and smaller projects. ... "
" ... The size is perfect ... "
" ... Very solid, quiet, and I love it!! ... "
" ... Comes mostly assembled and required very little work to get it set up, aligned and working. ... "
" ... I make toys or other small woodworking projects. ... You can buy one for about $40 or make your own from wood scraps. ... "
" ... It was easy to assemble as it was partially assembled at the factory. ... 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. ... If they had been spaced even just 1/16" further apart, this would have made it so much easier to assemble. ... "
" ... The cast iron table is nice and the fence is very secure. ... "
" ... It is great for smaller work and or a small shop. ... I have mine mounted on a shop build table/stand so I can move it to accommodate longer or larger pieces as needed. ... "

" ... 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. ... "
" ... Have made a few sample cuts through hard woods and very happy with performance so far. ... "
" ... After setting it up and tuning it to my satisfaction all my test cuts were perfect. ... "
" ... The clearance is good enough for what I need and it has plenty of power to cut curves through hardwoods with a good 3/16" blade. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... I am finding that I turn to my Ricon 10-3061 for the majority of cuts. ... "
" ... I bought this for mainly resawing small logs, I was able to cut 3 inch freshly cut oak logs pretty easily, tried pushing the saw to cut 4 1/2 inch slabs and while doable it isn't worth the effort of the wear and tear on the machine, it would bog and the blade would get stuck around every 3 or 4 inches, but if your doing 3 inches or under it works just fine, I was able to mill up enough piece to make a small end table top once it dries ... "
" ... Its replacement has been running and cutting like a champ for several months now. ... Using a carbide-toothed blade with it, and the cuts are, straight, true, almost finish smooth. ... "

" ... So far a great piece of equipment, good price ... "
" ... This bandsaw is pro quality at an affordable price. ... "
" ... Worth the price ... "
" ... The Rikon bandsaw is also a little more expensive than the others, but it is so worth the price for a real bandsaw. ... "
" ... Pretty decent saw for the money. ... "
" ... Was on the fence about spending the extra money for this saw but I'm glad I did. ... "
" ... Would recommend highly for someone wanting a great bandsaw for the money ,you won't be disappointed ... "
" ... There where a few contenders with some great price points and this Rikon was more money but the Rikon in my opinion was just built better over all and I feel was worth the extra money. ... "
