18" Rikon BS

[Richard Jones]

Sort of a gloat.............. traded my 14" Rikon to my dad for this 18" one, straight up, altho' I DID have to go get it...........:D

This is one B-I-G saw. Very smooth running, even more so than the 14" one.

Have already cut out two Brazilian cherry rounds/soon-to-be plates for the kitchen table, and it did fine. 2 HP will get 'er done.

What do you mean, "sort of a gloat"?

That's a great gloat if there ever was one:D

Great gloat, nice machine.

You think that it's great now? Wait till you install an 1-1/4" blade and resaw something! That thing is fantastic!

I love mine but have some issues with dust collection. There are two "blade guards" under the table that tend to get clogged when cutting green wood. I removed mine but the dust still doesn't seem to make it down below. I'd like to know your thoughts after some use.
