Anyone tried the new Rikon 10-306 bandsaw?

[Tyler Bancroft]

Thanks all - ordered one, so we'll see how it goes!

Received my 10-306 (and the stand they sell) from Lee Valley yesterday. The instructions for assembling the Rikon stand are inadequate (there are eight ways to assemble the corner pieces, only one of which actually allows everything to fit, and the instructions don't explain how).

Would the 10-306 be good for making band saw boxes? I have a 9" ryobi that is about worthless when it comes to cutting any kind of curves or straight lines.

I'm guessing the 306 would be iffy, power-wise, for bandsaw boxes. Maybe OK for soft wood, but cutting through 3 or 4 inches of hard wood would be asking a lot from that small motor.

I like mine. Comments and first impressions are here: https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....-bandsaw/page3
