New Band Saw....Hauled Home Saturday

[Jeff Miller]

I finally made my decision after posting this


https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?266575-Need-Band-Saw-ADVICE-PLEASE


I went with the Rikon 10-326 after much research .........Looking at different new used ones

But I still kept going back to the Rikon trying to justify it AND I DID IT

Thanks Everyone for the advice especially Van Husky (hope he don't mind me mentioning him too.... late now Van);) that took time with my PMs

and steered me away from used deals I was looking at that I would have regretted

Although it's still in the box in the shop at least the hunt is over......It's been too hot to put it together but it looks nice even in the BOX :)

Congrats on your new saw. It looks pretty nice.
If it means anything, I've had my Rikon Bandsaw since 2005. They're a nice value.

Congrats, Jeff. I have the 10-326 and am very happy with it. If I had it to do over, I'd still buy it, but I wouldn't even fire it up with the stock blade on it. A decent blade makes it a completely different machine.

Sorry, I have been out of town and hadn't had time to come on. Glad you got a saw and the Rikon should serve you well! Let us know what you think and how it compares to the C-man once you get a good blade for the Rikon. There are tons of industrial supply houses in Ohio so you should easily be able to buy local if you like.

BTW I also didn't notice your last text until just now, and yes occasionally (at least before I left last week) I was also having issues getting on now and then, it would usually last a few minutes to an hour.
