... since I've had a bandsaw.
I ordered a Laguna 18bx at the beginning of June during their 10% off sale. I would have preferred the Rikon 10-347,but at the time it would have been $800 more and even I couldn't talk myself into it. The dealer told me it would ship in a month, so I put my saw up for sale, thinking it would take a while to sell. It sold in 2 days.
A month and a half goes by (mid July) and I hadn't heard anything so I called Laguna to see when they would be shipping. They said not before September 24. That would put it probably into October by the time I got it. Looking around I noticed that Woodcraft had a 15% off sale on Rikon which put the 10-347 just $400 more and I could talk myself into that. So I called Rikon to see when they would be in stock - September 4. Well, that's better and it was the saw I preferred, so I canceled the Laguna and ordered the Rikon. Checked with Rikon a week ago and Now they're telling me they won't be in stock until September 24. By the time they get it and gets to Woodcraft and I get down there to pick it up (2 hours south from me) it'll probably be almost October. That's if they don't get delayed again. And so it goes.
Not really complaining, just needed to vent. The virus has messed up a lot of machine delivery times. I was ordering a bracket for my Hammer A3-31 and noticed the lead time for a new machine was 4-5 months. The salesman said that the Hammer plant was right next to Italy, so it was completely shut down for a few months.
So it's understandable but frustrating. I miss having a bandsaw. Maybe someday.
