    I have the 10" Rikon with the Carter Stabilizer and works extremely well for all kinds of work. It fits well in between my 16" Jet Bandsaw and my Hegner Scroll Saw. I have had it for a couple of years and no problems at all.

    10" Craftsman

    I have had the 10" Craftsman for about 10 years and I am very happy with it.

    I have the Craftsman 10". Good saw for the money. Comes with a crappy blade though. Recommend getting a better one as soon as practical.
    Appears identical to the Rikon.

    I bought one of the early 10” Rikon’s that came with a cheesy cast aluminum table which I quickly replaced. The tires lasted ~2 years before they dry rotted. I replaced them with new urethane tires and have been good to go since.
    The new Rikon’s come with a cast iron table and hopefully, better tires.
    It’s a great little secondary saw to my MM.
