New toy from the year-end bonus. I've replaced my Crapsman three wheel bandsaw with the Rikon 30-305. Still a benchtop model, but it fits in my shop. I'll have to modify the bench a bit. This saw is a bit taller than the old one. But I'll get that done later in the week.

I know no pics, didn't happen. So here it is.

Congrats on a nice BS. My C-man looks just like it and it may be made by Rikon but it has served me well.

Congrats, Scott! I had a Craftsman 3 wheel decades ago - not a bad saw, but this has to be a major improvement for you.

Congrats on the new tool... It sounds like a nice upgrade.

I really don't see how you're going to turn any wood on that!?!?

I just went the other way.I got the 18" Rikon and had to dig the old 3 wheeled Craftsman out to cut small stuff like pen blanks or box blanks.
Really like my Rikon hope yours works as good as mine.
