Nice size table as well! Should make rounding blanks a whole lot easier!

I've had the same model for about a year now. I have nothing but great things to say about it, especially with a TimberWolf blade on it.

I got the 10-325 about a month ago or so. Moved up from the 20+ year old Delta 14". I use the Rikon every day now. I did not know that the BS could do so many things, many of them easier, better and safer than some of my old methods. It seems to be a lot for the buck$

I'm thinking I could be happy with something like that! Congrats

Congrats on the BS; I bought one the first month they were released, I'd guess 2 1/2 years or so ago. It's a really nice tool. I usually use a 1/2" or 5/8" blade (I'm told a 14" bandsaw can't properly tension a 3/4") with 3 teeth for sawing green blanks as well as general use. For 'scrolling' I usually use a fine toothed 3/16" or 1/4" with a Carter guide temporarily replacing the upper guide assembly. Just passing on a little info from my experience with it.

Nice Gloat Dennis!!!!! I will be moving to a place with more shop room so I have been shopping for a Bandsaw. I think my search is over. That looks like it will be a great saw.

Congrats Dennis and nice gloat. That should cut some blanks rather nicely.
