I have a Rikon 18 bandsaw and pretty much been a good saw for the money. But I noticed it always seem to have a fair amount of vibration and I thought the cut should be smoother then is has been concidering I am using a Lennox Tri-master blade.
Last night I measured the upper wheel runout with a dial indicator and with the blade on and tensioned it has 65 thousenths run out, with the tension off and the blade off it has right at 70 thousenths. This seems to me to be alot.
Before I contact Rikon, I was wondering if anybody else had some input??
Thanks
Dave
